Welcome to Upper Cervical Care of WNY

Specialized Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care

Upper Cervical Center of WNY specializes in Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care that utilizes state of the art diagnostics such as Cone Beam CT and digital Neurological assessments. We offer upper cervical adjustments for treatment of Headaches, Neck pain, low back pain, disc herniations, Sciatica, and stenosis. We are experts in the treatment of Orthopedic and Neurological conditions.

​

Prior to working in Hospitals, we had offices in New York City for over 10 years, specializing in Chiropractic Neurology.  We completed a Neurophysiology Fellowship program in Philadelphia which allowed us to work in the field of Surgical Neurophysiology.  From our work in Surgery, we started to realize that the majority of patients did not need surgery but could have gotten better from quality conservative treatments.  In addition, over the last several years most hospitals have become profit driven and only care about pushing surgical procedure numbers.  Sometimes pushing people into surgeries that are not needed.  On top of that Surgical and drug reps persuade Surgeons and staff to over medicate and do more surgical hardware than is necessary.  THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM is Broken and NEEDS to be overhauled!

What Makes Our Care Different??

ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC TECHNOLOGY:

  • We utilize the latest in diagnostic imaging and testing:

  • 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (One of only few in the state)

  • Digital Thermography

  • Computerized Range of Motion Analysis

  • Image Guided Vector Adjustment 

  • Upper Cervical Techniques used:

    • Knee Chest- only one in the Northeast US​

    • Orthospinaology-only one in the Northeast 

    • Toggle/Blair- One of the few in New York

  • Before-and-after digital assessments to objectively measure treatment effectiveness

  • We are one of the few Doctors in the country that utilize these technologies.

​

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?​

  • A detailed health history, comprehensive exam, and advanced imaging

  • A personalized care plan based on objective findings

  • A focus on helping your body hold the adjustment for long-term relief

  • Minimal visits with maximum impact—most patients experience results within the first few adjustments

​

PROVEN RESULTS​

  • Most patients are seen only 3–4 times in the first two months

  • Average care plan involves just 7 visits or less

  • Patients often report complete or significant symptom relief within the first few treatments

​

HOW IS OUR CARE DIFFERENT??​

  • Each visit we perform a detailed exam consisting of thermography, digital range of motion, and digital posture assessment.

  • We Perform these both BEFORE and AFTER each treatment 

  • This helps to determine if what we are doing is helping or not.

  • If your current treatment or Doctor is not obtaining an objective digital test before and after each treatment, HOW DO YOU KNOW IT IS DOING ANYTHING or EVEN MAKING YOUR PROBLEM WORSE??

  • We are one of the few clinics that do this.
