Not all chiropractic care is created equal. If you’ve ever walked out of a typical adjustment feeling like a human glow stick, only to feel the same pain again the next day, you’re not imagining things. That’s exactly why Upper Cervical Chiropractic exists—and why we rely on it so heavily at Neuroplasticity St Pete.

So what makes it different?

Upper Cervical Chiropractic zeroes in on the top two bones in the neck—the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). These tiny bones are incredibly important. They sit just beneath the skull and surround the brainstem, which controls vital functions like balance, breathing, blood pressure, and coordination. When the alignment here is off—even just slightly—it can throw the entire nervous system out of sync.

What’s unique about our approach here in St. Petersburg is how precise and gentle it is. There’s no twisting or cracking. We use advanced tools like CBCT scans to get 3D views of the upper neck and measure exactly how to realign it. The adjustment itself? Often so light you barely feel it. But the results? That’s where the real magic happens.

Patients often report improved energy, clearer thinking, better posture, less pain, and even better sleep after Upper Cervical work. That’s because we’re not just cracking a joint—we’re helping reboot the nervous system from its control center.

And when this is combined with our full-spectrum care—including functional medicine, BEMER therapy, light therapy, and neurologic resets—the body starts to respond in powerful, lasting ways.

Here at Neuroplasticity St Pete, we focus on adjustments that hold, not ones that constantly need repeating. We believe healing should be efficient, individualized, and done with intention—not rushed through in five minutes.

So if you’ve been to chiropractors before and felt like something was missing, Upper Cervical care might be that missing link. It’s a quieter, smarter kind of chiropractic—and it’s changing lives every day across St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Pinellas Park.
