At Advanced Spinal Care, we’re honored to help patients who feel like they’ve tried everything.

One patient had been dealing with vertigo on and off since 2020, with a recent episode lasting 10 weeks. During that time, he saw medical doctors, ENTs, and physical therapists — without relief.

After being referred for NUCCA care, he began treatment in our office.

Today, he shares that his life is better in all areas — and he’s incredibly grateful to finally have relief from vertigo and dizziness. 🌟

If you or someone you know struggles with vertigo or persistent dizziness, there may be another option to explore.

Truely One of a Kind

Carter’s family believes Dr. Lapenski is truly one of a kind — there’s no one quite like him.

Even if it means traveling across Washington State for care, it’s worth every mile. Sometimes, the right care is worth the journey. ✈️

James came in with vertigo that was seriously affecting his life—and his pickleball game. Looking up for a lob or even looking down could trigger dizziness, and during some tournaments he even had to lie down on the court just to recover.

After seeing multiple doctors with no answers, he decided to get checked by Dr. Craig Lapenski.

What happened next surprised him. After his first adjustment, he stood up and the vertigo was gone. Since then, he’s been back on the court, competing again, and enjoying the game he loves. 🏓💪

If dizziness or vertigo has been holding you back, James’ story is one you’ll want to hear.

🌟 Migraine Relief Starts at the Neck 🌟

Did you know that 92% of migraine sufferers find relief through upper cervical chiropractic care? This gentle, precise approach targets a small misalignment at the top of the neck, where the brain and spinal cord meet, addressing the root cause rather than masking symptoms.

📌 How It Works
✅ Restores proper alignment of C1 & C2 vertebrae
✅ Improves blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation
✅ Reduces frequency and severity of headaches naturally

💊 Why Most Treatments Fall Short
Prescription meds and OTC painkillers only mask the pain—and often come with side effects like tingling, dizziness, nausea, or weakness. Upper cervical care provides drug-free, long-lasting relief.

Take the first step toward lasting relief. A Board Certified NUCCA Doctor can evaluate your upper neck and help restore proper nervous system function.

Darcy has lived with a very complex spine and years of challenging symptoms. Before finding the care that worked for her, things were getting progressively harder.

In fact, Darcy believes that if she hadn’t received care through NUCCA and Dr. Lapenski, she might be on disability today and unable to continue working.

When her spine goes out of alignment, she experiences a wide range of symptoms that affect daily life. But with the care she’s receiving now, she’s been able to stay active, maintain her work, and live much more comfortably.

For Darcy, this care hasn’t just been about pain relief—it’s been about keeping her life and independence. 💙

Back from an incredible NUCCA Conference!

Dr. Lapenski had the opportunity to spend the time last week:
✔ Teaching and working with doctors
✔ Sharing advanced NUCCA principles
✔ Connecting with colleagues and cohorts from across the country

These conferences are more than just education—they’re about continuing to raise the standard of care and refining the precision that NUCCA is known for.

We’re grateful to be part of a community dedicated to improving patient outcomes and advancing upper cervical care.

Dr. Lapenski is back in the office and ready to continue serving our patients with the same level of focus and precision.

Bill had already been to another NUCCA chiropractor—and got some results.

What was different at Advanced Spinal Care?
Time. Precision. Attention to detail.

Instead of rushed, “in-and-out” visits, Bill experienced careful imaging, thorough evaluations, and care that was never treated like a production line.

“The quality of care here is vastly different.”

One of the most common questions patients ask after experiencing a true upper cervical correction is:
“Why aren’t there more doctors who do this?”

The truth is, there are a few big reasons.

Most chiropractors actually graduate without ever learning the NUCCA procedure. Out of the many chiropractic colleges out there, only a small number even offer it as an elective. That means many doctors simply never get exposure to it.

Another reason? Learning this work takes a significant amount of time, training, and dedication. It’s a completely different skill set that requires precision and ongoing study through organizations like the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association.

And something patients often notice after care is this:
When the head and neck are aligned correctly, people often need less frequent care because their body is functioning better and stabilizing.

That’s why many patients are surprised at how hard it can be to find.

But when you experience it… you understand why it matters so much. 🙌

If you’ve ever wondered whether upper cervical care could help you, start by learning more or scheduling a consultation. Your health deserves answers. 🧠✨

🌟 Can Neck Problems Cause Dizziness? 🌟

Vertigo, dizziness, and balance issues aren’t always “just in your head.” Sometimes, they stem from old head or neck injuries that were never properly corrected.

📌 Upper Neck & Balance
The top two vertebrae—Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2)—can twist or misalign even slightly, interfering with signals between your brain and body.

📌 Brain Stem Dysfunction
Misalignments in the upper neck can disrupt brain stem function, affecting balance, cranial nerves, and fluid flow in the head and spine.

✅ NUCCA Care Can Help
Gentle, precise upper cervical corrections restore brain stem function and allow the body to heal naturally.

If you’ve experienced head or neck trauma, a Board Certified NUCCA Doctor can identify the root cause of dizziness or vertigo and help you regain balance.

For nearly 15 years, Joe dealt with lower back pain and sciatic pain from past football injuries. 🏈
Simple things like getting out of bed, sitting, or walking became difficult parts of his daily life.

After trying different options with little success, Joe was finally recommended to our office.

Within 24–48 hours, he started noticing changes.

Over the next few weeks, those small improvements turned into something much bigger.

Today Joe says:
✅ His posture is better
✅ His day-to-day pain is significantly improved
✅ And one of the biggest changes… sleep.

He went from sleeping 2–4 hours per night to averaging 6–7 hours of sleep. 😴

For someone who travels frequently for work—flying and driving across the country—that improvement has made a huge difference in his quality of life.

Joe’s advice?
“Give it a try and be patient. For me it improved quite a bit of my lifestyle.”

If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain for years, there may still be hope. Your body may just need the right correction to function the way it was designed.
