Upper Cervical Chiropractic vs Regular Chiropractic
When most people hear upper cervical chiropractic, they are not aware there is a difference between upper cervical chiropractic vs regular chiropractic. While traditional chiropractic adjustments are geared at releasing stuck (fixated) bones (vertebrae) and affecting peripheral nerves, upper cervical adjustments directly affect the central nervous system. Upper cervical chiropractic adjustments have long been the area of historical and present “miracle cases”. The other difference is there is no snapping or cracking of the neck or back with upper cervical chiropractic adjustments. This is good news for you when you are suffering from chronic pain. Many people with chronic pain have expressed that traditional chiropractic adjustments hurt, and they feel worse after traditional adjustments.
The upper cervical method Dr. Ramirez uses is QSM3. Quantum Spinal Mechanics is a forward thinking upper cervical, global, and tonal based chiropractic method.

Why upper cervical chiropractic care?
A Common Cause:
Many people have an injury to the upper neck that has never been properly diagnosed or treated. Auto accidents (even mild ones), slips, falls, jars and jerks to the body can cause micro trauma and tear loose the connective tissue that keeps proper motion in the upper neck. Injury to the upper neck has a global affect on the body.It causes the head to shift off the top off the top of the neck due to these injuries.
Next the body’s “righting reflex” moves the body into a distorted posture to bring the head back to level. This causes stress and miscommunication affecting the posture control centers in the lower brainstem where it passes through the top vertebrae. This is known as the upper cervical misalignment. Over a lifetime, the human body can be subjected to multiple traumas that cause an upper cervical misalignment and postural distortion.
This creates a pathway of breakdown through the WHOLE body, leading to locking of the spinal joints, muscular imbalance, abnormal movements, inefficiency of energy and a progressive degenerative wear and tear on the body. THIS IS WHY MANY ARE LOCKED INTO CHRONIC PAIN. Until the upper neck is properly corrected, long term relief of chronic pain cannot be achieved.
A not so common Correction:
The upper cervical misalignment is the most complex and difficult region of the spine to align. But when the correction is achieved the results can be simply amazing. Patients notice changes throughout their entire body.
What are the benefits of upper cervical chiropractic?
The reason for so many benefits of upper cervical care is because of the rich supply of nerve control centers in the lower brainstem. Gentle and safe upper cervical adjustments directly impact and modulate the brainstem.

Dr. Ramirez offers a free 30-minute phone case review. He will consult with you and review any past medical records you have, just as if you were an established patient. You will see firsthand if he is the right doctor for you.
Do you have a history of upper neck injuries?
When it comes to healing chronic pain any unresolved injuries to the upper neck must be properly treated by an upper cervical doctor. Very few chiropractors have undergone training to properly adjust the upper cervical misalignment. If you are suffering from chronic pain, take a few minutes to reflect and write down accidents you have had over your life. Examples of injuries are:
What others can you think of? It’s important to understand that once an injury occurs, signs and symptoms (pain) can show up days, weeks, months or years down the road. If you have had just 1-2 of the above, there is a good change you have an unresolved injury to your upper neck. If you have had 3 or more of the above, an upper cervical misalignment is most likely keeping you from healing chronic pain.

I am really pleased with my results
Prior to seeing Dr. Rob some of my physical conditions that were a constant annoyance were a chronic pain in my right hip, sore and tired ankles, a sore neck, and a chronic sinus congestion that I have for over ten years that caused restriction in my breathing. I have noticed a major difference in all areas of affliction, and to my surprise I can breathe without any nose spray or decongestants. I am really pleased with my results and look forward to the future.

I was skeptic that his gentle procedure would be effective...
I've spent years in chiropractic offices and Dr. Rob is the best!! I Was skeptic that his gentle procedure would be effective....as in the past, I have always been "cracked". This is approach is so painless and soothing, I look forward to his office visits! And, he is reasonable and honest about when you need to visit....not just "selling" as most do! A very pleasant experience that really works!!!
He takes as much time as necessary with me
Dr. Rob has helped relieve pain in my back multiple times. Every trip to his office has been pleasant and enjoyable. He takes as much time as necessary with me and is sure to thoroughly explain everything to me. I would highly recommend Dr. Rob.
I can't say enough how this has improved the quality of my life . .
When I first came to see Dr. Robert I was a mess. I had pain everywhere and could not sleep or get comfortable. I had headaches all the time and in general felt lousy. Now I am pain free at most of the time. When I get sleep I get restful sleep and not just tossing and turning all night. I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue and this has really helped these symptoms, too. I can’t say enough for how this has improved my quality of life.
I know that through a mutual friend, God sent me to Dr. Robert and I thank Him everyday! I was truly at the end of my rope, as they say. I was afraid that there was not any help for me. God and Dr. Robert changed that for me!

I had severe neck pain. I could not carry on any normal activities. I was always in pain. When I found Dr. Rob I was relieved of my pain, even on the first visit. Since starting care I have been able to run again, exercise and I don't worry about my neck. I'm not worried about doing anything like before. I am so truly blessed that I found him. He is friendly, kind and he answered all my questions. He will help you.
He is always there for his patiens...
Dr. Rob gave me my life back after trying everything
Total Recovery From Trigeminal Neuralgia
I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia in January of 2003. I suffered with pain that I never thought possible. I would sit curled up in a fetal position and cry for hours. I truly wished I could just die. The medical profession didn’t know what caused this horrible disease, or how to get rid of it.
I lost about 4 months of work. I would get up and go to work, but within about one or two hours I would call my wife to come get me.
Since seeing Dr. Ramirez for treatment I have been able to remain pain free and medicine free. I am very grateful to Dr. Rob for the work that he does and his willingness to work to help me.
Even after the first adjustment I noticed a big difference in how I felt
I started coming to see Dr. Rob because I was having chronic neck and back pain from an auto accident a few years ago. Even after the first adjustment I noticed a big difference in how I felt. Since continuing care I have noticed over time how the neck and back pain have resolved. It has been a really great experience.
