Our Approach to Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care

The Upper Cervical Chiropractic, looks only at the atlas and axis, the two vertebrae closest to the brainstem, where a shift may show as headaches, dizziness, or neck pain a general adjustment never reaches. It rarely shows on an X-ray, so upper cervical care starts with a scan.

Advanced 3D Imaging for Precise Diagnosis

Unlike a flat X-ray, the in-house CBCT Imaging, patients receive builds a 3D model in about thirty seconds, at roughly 75% less radiation, the precise, low-radiation standard our L5P patients rely on.

A Healthier Life Begins With the Right Chiropractor

I've been seeing Dr Jacob for a few months now and getting major relief after years of Menieres flare ups. My flare ups were becoming debilitating and 3 ENTs were no help. I appreciated that Dr Jacob didn't try to sell me a magic full cure, but focused on facts and areas he expected to improve. In addition to adjustments and soft tissue, Dr Jacob helped me identify some triggers (which for me was soda water and hydration powders)! I'm not free of symptoms, but they aren't as chronic or severe which is a win!

Dr. Jacob has been outstanding. Upper Cervical Specialist practice is different from any chiropractor I’ve ever been to. Dr. Jacob put me on a specific regiment of visits that slowly tapered down over time as certain benchmarks are reached. His deep tissue messages of the cervical and supporting areas truly help the spine align. This method is therapeutic in nature with small incremental and targeted adjustments of singular vertebrae the coincide with the deep tissue release. There are no large snaps and cracks here but rather a targeted plan to get you better. The key is sticking to the regiment, which I have never done before until I met Dr. Jacob. Trust the process and keep coming back; you won’t regret it.

Dr Amanda Brown and the team at Upper Cervical Specialists are extremely smart, insightful, professional, and friendly, and really care about their patients. I have appreciated the frank discussions we have had with Dr Brown during treatment, and her willingness to patiently and clearly answer all my many questions. I have overheard a number of people in the waiting room describing a substantial improvement in their quality of life following treatment at Upper Cervical Specialists. I think this team are doing remarkable work. Highly recommend.

I’ve been battling neck pain for a couple of years after having a baby. On my very first appointment with Dr Culig I felt 90% better after he noted my misalignment and made an adjustment. I went back a few times to make sure it took and he taught me some stretches and strengthening exercises (not time consuming, very doable) so that it would lessen the chances of neck pain in the future. It’s been a few months since that first adjustment and my neck still feels the best it has in years. I appreciate the fast results and not requiring several appointments some chiropractors insist it takes in order to notice any progress.

I have been seeing Dr. Jacob for about 2 months, and it has been a great experience. I have struggled with neck pain, dizziness, fatigue, and neurological symptoms for the past few years and have seen multiple specialists for these problems but received no concrete answers. Many of my symptoms have become much more manageable since starting with Dr. Jacob, especially my neck pain. Dr. Jacob is very personable and one of the only doctors who I felt truly listened to everything I had to say during my consultation appiontment. I have been to multiple other chiropractors, one also specializing in upper cervical care, and would strongly reccomend Upper Cervical Specialists of Atlanta over any others I have tried.

I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Jacob at Upper Cervical Specialist of Atlanta. I’m currently being treated for Ménière’s disease and occipital neuralgia. I’m very happy with the care I’ve received. The entire team is friendly, compassionate, and genuinely takes the time to listen and make you feel comfortable. I always feel welcomed and well cared for at every visit. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, personalized chiropractic care!

I have been a patient of UCSoA for three years and I can 100% say Randy, Jacob and the team have drastically improved my quality of life. They take time to connect the dots with your injuries, ailments, and day-to-day issues and thoughtfully ensure you really feel better after each appointment. I cannot recommend them enough.
I have been a patient of Dr. Jacob's for nearly six months, and I can't describe the level of relief I've experienced since coming to Upper Cervial Specialists. I have endured migraines and dizziness for over a decade and seen specialist after specialist, with no answer or solution. Dr. Jacob's deep tissue work and gentle adjustments - none of the yanking or loud cracking that you see from others online - have truly transformed my quality of life. No migraines, dizziness or blurred vision anymore. Also, for what it's worth, he's pretty funny.

I found Upper Cervical after struggling with vertigo and dizziness, coordination issues, and neck/shoulder pain after a chiro adjustment gone wrong. It took me 2 years of bizarre symptoms to find them and I’m so glad I did. Dr. Culig has been so patient with understanding everything I’m experiencing and reassuring me with explanations and solutions to try. I’m now going on over a month without needing an adjustment and only having symptoms when I do something strenuous. Previously I was dizzy everyday. I’m still working on being able to sleep on my side but the progress is noticeable and I’m so glad to have someone to support me through figuring all this out!

I've seen Dr. Culig for a couple years and, more recently, Dr. Amanda. As someone with hypermobility, they have not only helped me with treatments each visit but have also given me great advice on how to improve my day-to-day. I've been working with Dr. Amanda recently and she has been so thorough and caring, often going beyond the appointment time when she can, always checking in after appointments, and is also a wealth of knowledge on hypermobility. Highly recommend!

This practice is amazing! They are knowledgeable, skillful, and compassionate, and everyone there seems happy and kind and like they really care. With the chiropractic care here, in combination with other therapies (ie: acupuncture & physical therapy), I’ve seen a significant improvement in my dizziness symptoms. Dr. Amanda (and the CBCT imaging) has helped me get a clear idea of what in my neck is structurally contributing to my symptoms. (The CBCT was actually more helpful than the MRI because it’s 3D).

Last winter I had a terrible stretch of bronchitis and was sick for over eight weeks with an awful cough. The coughing became so intense that I ended up with a cervical sprain, almost like whiplash. Luckily, a friend who had previously been to Pierce highly recommended them for anything related to the cervical spine. Dr. Amanda helped me significantly within the first couple of visits, and I will definitely be back to see her anytime something feels out of whack.

When I found Dr Culig I had been having daily debilitating vestibular migraines for three months and years of neck and back pain following a car accident. He has played a major role in getting my life back on track. His treatment is guided by advanced imaging and years of specialized experience in upper cervical care. It is highly professional, careful (no scary maneuvers), and effective. On one occasion I arrived so dizzy I could scarcely move and left feeling great; I haven’t experienced dizziness like that again since. Dr Culig is passionate about providing the best possible care to his patients and committed to their wellbeing.

I have been going to Upper Cervical Specialists for over a year and Dr. Randy Culig is excellent and has helped me with my neck pain. Dr. Jacob Peterson is very good and just started recently. Today, I was desperate and Dr. Amanda Brown was working and she is outstanding. She worked on my neck and listened to my requests. All 3 doctors are great to see and really care about fixing the patient's problems. What I liked about Dr. Amanda was she took care with me for seeing me the first time. Dr. Culig and Dr. Jacob do that too. Thanks to all 3 of them, they are all excellent. Marsha Raeber

I was dealing with persistent neck pain and decided to pursue a more targeted treatment plan rather than a traditional chiropractic approach. That led me to Upper Cervical Specialists of Atlanta, where I had an excellent experience with Dr. Amanda Brown. She is incredibly thoughtful in her assessments and takes the time to understand what is truly causing discomfort and how she can best help. I experienced significant improvement in my neck pain, and she also connected me with helpful resources outside the practice to support my overall health journey. It is always a pleasure to see her. If you’re experiencing pain and have been on the fence about seeking treatment, I would absolutely recommend giving it a try.

To say Dr. Culig saved my life would be an understatement. I began seeing him in 2024 after my health had significantly declined. I was unable to drive long distances, would be bedridden for days after minimal activity, and struggled with basic tasks like grocery shopping or working at a computer. I had already seen multiple specialists across neurology, ENT, and cervical care, and despite imaging, no one could give me clear answers. Early on, Dr. Culig identified that my C1 was rotated. At the time, I was skeptical, as prior imaging reviewed by other providers had not identified this. Eventually, I pursued a DMX study out of pocket, which confirmed what he had been saying. Understanding that DMX findings are not always widely accepted, I asked what imaging would clearly demonstrate the issue to other providers. He immediately recommended a cervical MRI with CCJ protocol. When my initial MRI report came back lacking detail, he personally followed up to ensure it was reviewed thoroughly, which ultimately led to more complete findings. I saw Dr. Culig regularly and he played a key role not only in guiding my care, but also in helping me navigate disability paperwork and access appropriate imaging. During a time when I was physically limited and often struggling, I was consistently treated with professionalism, respect, and compassion. I am incredibly grateful for the level of care I received and would strongly recommend this practice to anyone dealing with complex or unresolved cervical issues.

Take the First Step Toward Relief

An upper cervical chiropractor Little Five Points GA patients trust begins with a conversation and a clear picture of your spine, not a quick adjustment. Your care is guided by what your imaging shows and what your body needs.

FAQs

Our clinic also sits at 1390 Lanier Blvd NE in Virginia-Highland, a short drive from Little Five Points and the surrounding 30307 ZIP. Call us for exact location, we are ready to help you.

Yes. Patients also reach us from Poncey-Highland and the neighborhoods surrounding Little Five Points.

Care focuses only on the top two neck bones, the atlas and axis, planned from CBCT imaging rather than a full-spine adjustment delivered by feel.

No twisting or cracking. Adjustments use less than five pounds of force. Some patients notice mild neck soreness for 24 to 48 hours, or brief tiredness the same day.

Often, yes. Vertigo Treatment L5P patients pursue here starts by checking neck alignment, since balance signals travel close to this junction. Dr. Culig leads this evaluation.

Many patients notice fewer migraines once neck alignment is addressed. The Migraine Specialist L5P patients see, Dr. Culig, focuses on this connection directly.

The Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment L5P patients ask about is one of Dr. Culig’s stated focus areas, addressed with a full CBCT scan before any correction.

The atlas and axis sit close enough to your brainstem that a shift here may affect nearby nerve signals and normal fluid flow, sometimes reaching past the neck itself.

A cone-beam CT scan builds a full 3D model of your neck in about thirty seconds, at roughly 75% less radiation than a standard CT, and measures alignment to fractions of a millimeter.

Not necessarily better, just different: care targets the atlas and axis specifically, guided by imaging, rather than adjusting the whole spine by hand.

A conversation, a same-visit CBCT scan, a plain-language walkthrough, and a correction planned around what your imaging shows.

This varies by person. Many patients notice change within zero to four weeks, though your plan follows your own imaging, not a fixed number of visits.

Often, yes. Dr. Brown focuses on pregnancy and pediatric patients, and the gentle, low-force approach suits a wide range of ages. A consultation confirms what fits your own case.

A new patient visit is $425 with a $125 deposit, including your exam and CBCT scan. Medicare is billed directly at $375 for new visits; other insurance isn’t billed directly, but we provide a superbill for reimbursement.
