Book Your Consultation

  • When the upper neck is out of balance, it can create tension around the brainstem and affect blood flow and nerve communication. This stress may contribute to recurring headaches or migraines. By gently correcting alignment, upper cervical care helps restore proper function, giving your body a better chance to find relief naturally.

  • The upper cervical spine sits close to the brainstem, which helps regulate balance and spatial awareness. Even small misalignments in this area can interfere with these signals, leading to dizziness or vertigo. With precise adjustments, upper cervical care helps the nervous system communicate more clearly, supporting steadiness and balance.

  • Brain fog and ongoing fatigue often have roots in how well the nervous system is functioning. Misalignment in the upper cervical spine can place stress on this system, disrupting the body’s ability to regulate energy and focus. Correcting this imbalance helps improve communication between the brain and body, allowing for clearer thinking and better energy levels.

  • Muscle tightness and stiffness in the neck or upper back are often the body’s way of compensating for imbalance at the top of the spine. This tension can create discomfort and restrict movement over time. Upper cervical care gently restores alignment, helping muscles relax and improving overall posture and comfort.

How It Works

Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on precise adjustments to the top two vertebrae of your neck (C1 & C2). By restoring alignment, it helps your nervous system function better, supporting overall wellness and reducing discomfort.

What Our Patients Are Saying

  • "I initially was referred to Dr. Pratt by my pain management MD. He is knowledgeable, kind, and understands the goals of his patients. I also had the pleasure of being seen by Dr. Dauphinais; she is also kind, knowledgeable, and professional, and the treatment they provided has been effective and meaningful. I highly recommend them to anyone who has been experiencing headaches, migraines, whiplash, stenosis, TMJ, or shoulder pain/discomfort. I am very grateful to them."

    Karen L.

  • “Dr. Pratt and Dr. Dauphinais have overseen the care of me and my family for the last couple of years. They have both been so supportive through my initial care from sports injuries, through pregnancy and postpartum, and even the care of my 18 month old son. I’m so grateful they are attentive and thoughtful in making my family run at 100%."

    Kaley G.

  • “The Blair Technique isn’t what most of us consider to be the traditional approach to spinal care but I find it less aggressive and more effective! The staff is very helpful and supportive and with the suggested maintenance I can rely on the lasting healing effects both physically and mentally.”

    Irene A.

  • "After a detailed analysis and imaging, Dr. Dauphinais clearly explained her care plan and goals. Over the next 8 weeks, I made the 4-hour drive from New York for care—and it was worth every trip. The results have been incredible: I feel more aligned, balanced, and 85–90% improved overall. My pain is reduced, my health feels restored, and the supportive team made the whole process easy. Dr. Dauphinais is truly the best!"

    Melina I.

  • "Dr. Dauphinais is one of the kindest, most compassionate providers we’ve ever met. She worked with my daughter for a year, helping her go from severe dizziness and migraines—lights off, whispering in the exam room—to walking in smiling and fully engaged in her care. She not only helped reduce her symptoms drastically but also gave her tools and understanding to manage her health. Dr. Dauphinais truly listens, cares deeply, and has our complete trust and gratitude. Rhode Island is lucky to have her!"

    Margie W.

  • "I began seeing Dr. Pratt in summer 2023 after a head injury left me with daily dizziness, neck tension, and migraines lasting weeks at a time. Even after the first few visits, I noticed a dramatic shift—I hadn’t realized how much pain I was living with until it started to lift. Out of more than 15 providers I’ve seen, Dr. Pratt’s care has made one of the biggest, most lasting differences. He is kind, compassionate, and takes the time to explain everything, which made me feel safe and supported throughout my recovery."
