Chiropractic Services

• Chiropractic Adjustments
  In our office we assess your entire life (physical, biochemical, and emotional) in order to determine exactly what type of chiropractic adjustment you need and the frequency of visits. In addition, once you “get out of pain” we will administer a preventative program so that your conditions do not continue to resurface, and your quality of life continues to improve.
• Nutritional Consultation
  Nutrition is the foundation of health, as every cell, tissue, and organ in your body depends on nutrients to function properly. Nutritional Therapy seeks out the root cause of symptoms and helps to provide steps to support your ability to restore balance and enhance your body’s ability to heal.
• Stretching
• Subluxation
  When the Atlas bone is misaligned, referred to as the Atlas Subluxation Complex Syndrome (ASC), pressure is placed on the brain stem causing far-reaching neurological effects. The position of the Atlas is critical to the proper function of the nervous system.
• Manipulation Therapy
  After meeting you and having my initial x-ray you discovered a small but some what concerning misalignment with my atlas and soon began focusing all of your attention here. With other chiropractors, I went through the full spinal manipulation, with all the popping and cracking a number of times, with no relief whatsoever. What you did and have been doing to this one area at the bottom of my neck has been completely different. I can remember thinking after my first treatment, "this will never work". I felt that you barely did anything. I can also remember after my first week of treatment thinking those hands of yours must be magic. Not only were my headaches gone, they have been gone for an entire year! You have cleared up my runner's knee on my right knee, balanced out my shoulders, hips, and legs (that I had no idea were not even). And I'm convinced you’re the reason that I have been able to put away my CPAP machine—as my sleep apnea (which I was diagnosed with a year and a half go) is gone as well.
• Pediatric Chiropractic
• Acupuncture
  I have to admit I was skeptical that any non-surgical procedure would relieve the chronic back-pain that I had been experiencing for almost a year. I had always been very active until I was injured in a ski accident. My diagnosis: herniated discs L4,L5, and S1. Prior to seeing Dr. Chavez I had spent months trying to get relief. I had tried “general chiropractic”, physical therapy, acupuncture and two rounds cortisone shots. I met with Dr. Chavez in October 2016 and started treatment immediately. This decision changed my life. Although it wasn’t immediate, I did start noticing a difference each time I went. After several months I was, and still am, 95% pain free. In addition, the support and encouragement from Dr. Chavez and his staff kept me focused and on track. Dr. Chavez cares about his patients. He has recommended supplements (which I now routinely take) and he has educated me on the importance of taking care of my spine on a daily basis. I would and do recommend Dr. Chavez and Upper Cervical Chiropractic.
