Upper Cervical Chiropractor
for Chronic Neck Pain in NY
Speak to a DoctorChronic neck pain is significant or debilitating pain in the neck area and can last for three months or more. It can cause problems with everyday activities such as driving, sitting at a desk or moving freely.
Often, chronic neck pain is treated with medication, especially if its underlying cause is unknown or untreatable. However, medication comes with side effects and does not address the root cause of the pain.
Some patients with this condition find relief by turning to a chiropractor for neck pain. If you are looking for a non-pharmaceutical method to manage your chronic pain, Upper Cervical Chiropractic of New York lets you work with an experienced upper cervical chiropractor to target the problem area.
Causes of Chronic Neck Pain
The neck supports the head and includes bones, nerves, joints, and muscles. If damage occurs to any of these in a car accident, sports accident or other event, pain can result. Chronic neck pain can also be caused by compressed nerves or irritation of the spinal cord or nerve pathways due to poor posture, trauma to the neck or back, or even some medical conditions.

What is NUCCA?
If you have chronic neck pain, you may have heard of NUCCA practitioners who specialize in addressing this type of condition. NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) is a nonprofit group dedicated to the research of a specific practice concerning alignment of the Atlas (C-1) vertebrae. The C-1 vertebra is at the top of the spine and can become easily misaligned because it is not supported by discs like other vertebrae.
How Can an Upper Cervical Chiropractor Help?
If a vertebra is misaligned, it can compress nerves or other parts of the neck, causing pain. Misalignment can also impact mobility and cause tension in the neck area, which can lead to chronic pain over time. When you visit an upper cervical chiropractor for neck pain, they will gently align your spine, reducing compression, easing movement and helping improve communication between your spinal cord and brain.

Traditional Chiropractor
Going to see an upper cervical chiropractor for neck pain is not the same as visiting a traditional chiropractic office. Upper cervical care uses a chiropractic technique that focuses on the vertebra in the neck area to help relieve pain stemming from this region.
When you see a UCC chiropractor for neck pain at Upper Cervical Chiropractic of New York you also get a high-quality experience. Our chiropractor uses imaging reports and Millennium technology before and after aligning your vertebra to target the issue and work to achieve a positive outcome.
