Do you ever feel like:
• One side of your neck is always tighter?
• You shift your weight more onto one leg?
• One hip feels “off”?
• You’re constantly stretching the same side?
Your body is smart. When the head and neck are even slightly misaligned, it compensates. Over time, that compensation can show up as uneven hips, muscle imbalance, tension, abnormal movement patterns, and gradual wear and tear.
And when the body shifts… your nervous system feels it.
That’s why we focus on the top vertebra of the spine.
Instead of forceful twisting and cracking throughout the spine, we use a gentle, precise correction at the very top. When the head and neck realign, the body naturally follows into balance.
If you’ve been dealing with tension, imbalance, or chronic discomfort, your body might be compensating more than you realize.

Why x-rays? With precise imaging, we are able to identify exactly where the misalignment is and develop an individualized plan for your body. X-rays are also important for ruling out other, more serious conditions.
We also take precise post-adjustment x-rays after the first treatment to verify misalignment correction and make any needed adjustments for optimal results. This is unique compared to most other chiropractic approaches. We schedule ongoing assessments to ensure long-term stability. Unlike traditional chiro care, the goal is for your adjustment to hold — meaning fewer visits over time!

NUCCA or (‘new-ka’) is a highly effective chiropractic technique that specializes in the alignment between the head and neck—with no twisting, popping or cracking to the neck. In fact, you probably won’t feel a lot of sensation during the treatment! But the results are powerful - by ensuring your spine is properly aligned, we improve nerve function, circulation, and overall well-being.
As Bend’s only NUCCA chiropractor, True Spine Chiropractic offers a gentle, non-invasive approach to realigning your spine and restoring full-body health.

Can low-level laser therapy (also known as cold laser therapy) help with neck pain? An exciting meta-analysis published in The Lancet showed that low-level laser therapy is effective in reducing pain after treatment in acute neck pain and for up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain. The results compare favorably with other widely used therapies, and especially with pharmacological interventions.

Dr. Kevin Hallmeyer D.C. is a practitioner of the NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic method in Bend, Oregon.
Over a decade ago I quit my job in sales to travel the world and reconnect with my passion for helping others in all areas of health and wellness. From my time as a ski instructor in Switzerland and Colorado to my studies of soft tissue bodywork to my hands-on physical therapy work with professional athletes as an exercise specialist, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the human body and an unwavering dedication to helping it meet its true potential.
I believe in the body’s own innate ability to heal and thrive, which is the core of chiropractic philosophy. But while in school for my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree, I was often frustrated by the vast differences in opinion and approaches across different chiropractic methods. After attending my first NUCCA seminar, I was transformed by what I learned about the importance of the upper cervical spine (neck), its top vertebrae (the Atlas), and the results doctors were seeing with patients improving from all sorts of conditions – including vertigo, chronic low back pain, Multiple Sclerosis, and TMJ. It was clear to me that this region is the most important joint complex in the entire body, which has only been further supported with a deeper knowledge and understanding of this complex area. Since then, I have concentrated my studies and focus on NUCCA and the upper cervical spine.
After several visits to Bend, my wife and I decided to plant our roots here to raise our young son (and two dogs and cat). When not in the office, you can find me skiing, hiking with my family through the local trails, and enjoying one of Bend’s many fantastic breweries or restaurants. I hope to meet you soon.
I’ll never forget when a fellow NUCCA chiropractor told me to “major in the majors”. What he meant was focus on the really important areas because that’s where the miracles occur.
