Upper Cervical Care in Santa Clarita CA

Gentle Precision for Lasting Relief

Your nervous system controls every function in your body — movement, digestion, energy, mood, and pain. When the top two bones in your neck, called the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), shift even slightly out of position, they can disrupt that vital brain-body communication.

At Dr Thomas Polucki’s Santa Clarita CA chiropractic clinic, we specialize in gentle, precise upper cervical chiropractic care that restores alignment where it matters most. There’s no cracking, twisting, or guessing — just measurable, lasting relief.

What Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care in Santa Clarita CA?

Upper cervical care focuses on the relationship between the brainstem and the upper spine — the area just beneath your skull. This is the control center for balance, muscle tone, coordination, and healing.

Even a small misalignment in this area can cause:

• Headaches or migraines
• Dizziness or vertigo
• Neck, shoulder, or jaw tension
• Fatigue and brain fog
• Poor posture or uneven weight balance

By using advanced imaging and gentle correction techniques, we help your body reset naturally — relieving tension, improving balance, and restoring clear nervous system function.

How Does the Process Work?

At our Santa Clarita office, every visit is designed to be calm, precise, and personalized:

1. 3D Motion Scan & Posture Analysis – We identify exactly how your atlas and axis are positioned and how that alignment affects the rest of your spine.
2. Customized Care Plan – Based on your unique results, we create a step-by-step plan for correction and stabilization.
3. Gentle Adjustment – Using the Blair Upper Cervical method, we realign the top vertebrae without twisting or popping. Most patients describe it as surprisingly light — and deeply effective.
4. Re-evaluation & Support – After each visit, we retest your alignment and function so you can see measurable improvement in balance, range of motion, and comfort.

• Migraine and tension headaches
• Vertigo, dizziness, or balance issues
