Upper cervical chiropractic care to relieve back pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care—but the root cause isn’t always where the pain shows up. Whether you’re feeling stiffness in your lower back, tightness between your shoulder blades, or discomfort that limits your movement, the real issue may start higher up in the spine.
At Precision Chiropractic, we specialize in the upper cervical spine because of how strongly it influences posture, balance, and spinal tension. If you’ve been treating the pain without seeing lasting relief, we’ll help you look at what’s really driving it—and create a plan that helps your body stabilize and heal.
Why Back Pain Often Starts at the Top
Back pain is often treated like a local problem. But the spine works as a whole, meaning issues in the neck can create ripple effects down the back. The upper cervical spine, located at the top of the neck, plays a key role in how your body maintains posture and balance. When this area becomes misaligned, it can trigger compensations throughout the spine that lead to:
This is why so many people with back pain also notice tension in their neck or pelvis—it’s all connected.
