Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care
Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on aligning the top two vertebrae to relieve chronic pain, improve nerve function, and enhance overall wellness. This non-invasive technique addresses conditions like migraines, asthma, and sciatica by restoring proper communication between the brain and body. Patients experience long-term relief through precise, gentle adjustments tailored to individual needs.
Spinal Screenings
Spinal screenings assess posture and alignment to identify misalignments affecting health. Using advanced imaging, we evaluate spinal curvature and mobility to create targeted treatment plans. These screenings help detect issues early, preventing chronic conditions and improving mobility for patients of all ages.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutritional counseling provides personalized dietary guidance to support weight loss and overall wellness. We develop meal plans based on individual health goals, focusing on whole foods and supplements to address deficiencies. This service complements chiropractic care by promoting systemic health and energy balance.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises strengthen muscles and improve posture to maintain spinal alignment. Tailored routines enhance flexibility and balance, reducing pain and preventing future injuries. These at-home exercises are designed to reinforce adjustments and accelerate recovery for optimal results.
Wellness Programs
Wellness programs integrate chiropractic care with lifestyle education to promote holistic health. Topics include stress management, sleep hygiene, and preventive care strategies. These programs empower patients to sustain wellness through informed daily choices and regular chiropractic maintenance.

I highly recommend TLC! Have had a lifetime of major back and neck problems due to sports injuries. The care I've received at TLC has been revolutionary, to say the least. Those problems have been dramatically decreased and as a side benefit, I'm certain that my serious allergies have but disappeared as a result. I've been going to TLC for 10 years. Again, higly recommend!

Dr. Ben continues to amaze me with his insights into seeming cryptic puzzles and health enigmas. He knows ways to change root problems and find where health is hiding. His Blair chiropractic technique is life-changing. If you haven't been "Blaired", do yourself a huge favor; see Dr. Ben.
