What is an upper cervical chiropractor?

An Upper Cervical Chiropractor is a specialized type of chiropractor who focuses on diagnosing and correcting misalignments in the upper part of the spine, particularly the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae in the neck. These misalignments can impact the nervous system and overall body function. Upper Cervical Chiropractors use precise, gentle adjustments to restore proper alignment, which may help alleviate symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, migraines, and even issues related to balance. This approach is different from general chiropractic care, as it concentrates exclusively on the upper cervical spine and often uses imaging and specific techniques for individualized treatment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an upper cervical chiropractor?

To thrive as an Upper Cervical Chiropractor, you need a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, appropriate state licensure, and specialized knowledge and training in upper cervical spinal techniques. Familiarity with diagnostic imaging tools like X-rays, posture analysis software, and chiropractic adjustment instruments is commonly required. Exceptional interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to educate and reassure patients are valuable soft skills in this role. Mastery of these competencies ensures accurate diagnosis, effective patient care, and the development of trusted therapeutic relationships.

What are some unique challenges upper cervical chiropractors face in their daily practice?

Upper Cervical Chiropractors often encounter the challenge of educating patients about the specificity and importance of upper cervical care, as many are unfamiliar with this subspecialty. Building trust and demonstrating results can require extra time, as progress may be subtle and gradual. Additionally, these chiropractors must maintain precise technique and documentation, since the margin for error in upper cervical adjustments is smaller compared to general chiropractic care. Collaborative communication with other healthcare providers is also key, as patients may need coordinated care for complex conditions.

What is the difference between Upper Cervical Chiropractor vs General Chiropractor?

AspectUpper Cervical Chiropractor
CredentialsChiropractic degree, specialized training in upper cervical techniques
Work EnvironmentPrivate clinics, specialized chiropractic offices
Industry UsageFocus on upper cervical spine adjustments and health
Common Search IntentDifferences in techniques, specialization, and treatment focus

The main difference is that an Upper Cervical Chiropractor specializes in precise adjustments of the upper cervical spine, often requiring additional certification. A General Chiropractor offers broader chiropractic care for various spinal issues. Both roles require a chiropractic degree, but the Upper Cervical Chiropractor has specialized training, making them more focused on upper cervical health.

Help Us Redefine Healthcare Through Clinical Excellence, Collaboration, and Exceptional Patient Outcomes


Full-Time Upper Cervical Chiropractic Physician

Jacksonville, Florida


This Isn't Just Another Chiropractic Position.

It's an opportunity to become part of a practice driven by purpose.

For more than 26 years, our integrated chiropractic and medical clinic has been committed to one mission:

To improve lives by delivering exceptional patient outcomes through clinical excellence, compassionate care, and true collaboration.


Everything we do begins with one question:

"What's in the best interest of the patient?"

That philosophy has earned the trust of our community and continues to guide every decision we make. We believe that exceptional patient outcomes are never accidental—they are the result of great clinicians working together, continually learning, and refusing to settle for anything less than excellence.

Today, we're looking for an Upper Cervical Chiropractic Physician who shares that same commitment.

Someone who believes healthcare should be collaborative—not competitive.

Someone who is passionate about helping people heal.

Someone who believes that clinical excellence is a lifelong pursuit.

Someone who wants to make a meaningful difference every single day.


Our Mission

We believe patients deserve more than isolated treatment.

They deserve a team of healthcare professionals who communicate, collaborate, and work together to provide the highest standard of care.

Our integrated chiropractic and medical model allows our providers to combine their expertise and create individualized treatment plans designed to achieve one goal:

The best possible patient outcomes.

We're committed to continually improving our clinical knowledge, refining our systems, embracing innovation, and challenging ourselves to provide better care tomorrow than we provide today.

Clinical excellence isn't a destination.

It's part of who we are.

Who We're Looking For

  • We're searching for someone who wants to become an important part of that mission.
  • You love chiropractic because you believe it changes lives.
  • You're motivated by seeing patients regain their health, not simply by completing another appointment.
  • You believe every patient deserves your very best. You understand that exceptional patient outcomes require exceptional clinicians.
  • Experience with the Atlas Orthogonal technique is valued and will allow you to make an immediate impact in our practice. If you don't have Atlas Orthogonal experience but are passionate about Upper Cervical Chiropractic, committed to clinical excellence, and eager to learn, we welcome your knowledge and expertise related to your specialized Upper Cervical technique. (AO training on-site will be provided)
  • You believe there is always another skill to learn, another technique to master, and another way to improve the patient experience.
  • You aren't looking for a place to simply "work."
  • You're looking for a place where you can contribute, grow, and help shape the future.
  • You have an ownership and growth mindset.
  • You enjoy bringing new ideas to the table.
  • You welcome feedback.
  • You strive to become better every year, every month, and every day.
  • Most importantly, you believe there is always a better way to serve patients.


We Value People Who...

  • Are passionate about Upper Cervical Chiropractic and committed to clinical excellence
  • Measure success by exceptional patient outcomes
  • Thrive in a collaborative healthcare environment
  • Bring fresh ideas that improve patient care and strengthen the practice
  • Share their knowledge freely and enjoy learning from others
  • Embrace innovation while respecting proven clinical principles
  • Possess an ownership mindset and want to help build something extraordinary alongside an established, respected team
  • Are coachable, humble, and continuously pursuing professional growth
  • Want to help expand the impact of our clinic and the number of lives we can change


What You'll Do

As one of our Upper Cervical Chiropractic Physicians, you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Deliver exceptional Upper Cervical Chiropractic care, including Atlas Orthogonal care, with precision, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to exceptional patient outcomes.
  • Perform comprehensive evaluations and develop individualized treatment plans
  • Collaborate with medical providers and healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes
  • Educate and empower patients throughout their healing journey
  • Monitor, measure, and celebrate meaningful clinical outcomes
  • Contribute innovative ideas that improve patient care, clinical systems, and practice growth
  • Continue developing your clinical expertise while helping elevate the entire team


Why You'll Love It Here

For more than 26 years, we've built a reputation for compassionate care, clinical excellence, and exceptional patient outcomes. Along the way, we've created something that means just as much to us— a practice where patients feel known, valued, and cared for like family.

Our patients aren't just appointments on a schedule. They become part of our practice family, and we have the privilege of celebrating their victories, supporting them through challenges, and walking alongside them on their journey toward better health.

That same spirit extends to our team. We've built a collaborative, supportive culture where providers respect one another, learn from one another, and are united by a shared commitment to clinical excellence and exceptional patient outcomes.

Your ideas won't sit on a shelf.

Your expertise will be valued.

Your professional growth will be supported.

As our practice continues to grow, you'll have the opportunity to grow with it—both as a clinician and as a leader.

We're committed to continually raising the standard of care for our patients and redefining what integrated healthcare can be.


Our Vision

Healthcare is evolving, and we believe the future belongs to practices that pursue clinical excellence, embrace collaboration, and remain relentlessly focused on exceptional patient outcomes.

We're committed to continually raising the standard—not only for chiropractic care, but for how integrated healthcare can improve lives. Every patient who walks through our doors deserves our very best, and every member of our team has the opportunity to help shape that experience.

We're not looking for someone to simply fill a position.

We're looking for someone to help build the future of our practice.

Someone who believes chiropractic has the power to transform lives.

Someone who is excited to bring fresh ideas, contribute their knowledge, pursue clinical excellence, embrace continuous growth, and help us create even better patient outcomes for the people and communities we serve.


If you're passionate about becoming an exceptional clinician, inspired by meaningful collaboration, and driven by the opportunity to make a lasting impact, we'd love to meet you.

Together, we'll pursue clinical excellence, transform lives through exceptional patient outcomes, and redefine what's possible in healthcare—one patient at a time.
