We just received another great review on Google:

😩 Neck pain doesn’t usually happen overnight. It’s often the result of daily habits that slowly stress the muscles, ligaments, and joints at the top of your spine (your upper cervical area).
Here are 5 common culprits 👇

1️⃣ Tech neck: Constantly looking down at your phone or laptop puts extra strain on the upper neck and alters how your head sits on your spine.

2️⃣ Poor sleep position: Sleeping on your stomach or with too many pillows can twist or torque the neck for hours at a time, leading to muscle imbalance and joint irritation.

3️⃣ Bad posture: Rounded shoulders or a forward head position pull the spine out of alignment and can affect how your upper cervical spine stabilizes your head.

4️⃣ Extended sitting: Long periods of sitting without movement limit circulation and weaken postural muscles that support your neck and shoulders.

5️⃣ Stress & tension: Emotional stress often shows up physically, especially in the neck and shoulders, tightening muscles that can pull your cervical spine out of balance.

✨ At Portland Specific Chiropractic, we focus on correcting the upper cervical alignment which is the foundation for head, neck, and nervous system balance. When this area is properly aligned, your body can function and heal more efficiently.

👉🏼 If you’ve ever said “everyone has neck pain,” this one’s for you 👀

😩 Pain isn’t normal. It’s a signal that something deeper is going on.

🩻 Day after day, poor posture, stress, and endless screen time can overload your neck and upper spine. The result? Tightness, stiffness, headaches and that constant ache you’ve started to ignore.

💡Here’s the truth: you don’t have to just “live with it.” Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on correcting the source, which is the alignment between your head and neck, so your body can finally relax and heal naturally.

Neck pain isn’t a life sentence. It’s your body asking for help 🤍

🤔 Did you know your head can feel 5x heavier just from looking down at your phone?

📱 That’s “tech neck” and it’s one of the most common reasons people come to see us.

🧠 Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on the source of imbalance: the top of your neck, where posture and nerve communication begin.

🤕 That nagging headache might not be “just stress” — your neck could be the real culprit!

➡️ Here are 3 ways your neck can trigger headaches:
💢 Muscle tension & poor posture
⚡ Nerve irritation
💧 Restricted blood flow

🤩 The good news? Upper cervical care focuses on restoring balance and alignment at the top of your neck — helping reduce tension, improve nerve function, and support healthy blood flow to the brain. 🌿

🧠 Ever had a 3D CT scan of your neck?

✨We use it to see your atlas bone in incredible detail — showing exactly how your upper neck is aligned (or misaligned).

🤔 This helps us craft a specific, gentle, and personalized adjustment tailored to your anatomy.

🥇 The atlas is the very first bone in your neck, sitting right below your skull — and it plays a huge role in how your body functions.

Our little life at Portland Specific Chiropractic 🥹✨

🧠 Dr. Kaminski had the opportunity to present her research case study to colleagues and mentors in the Diplomate in Craniocervical Junction Procedures program last weekend!

📚 Research is more than data—it’s the foundation that strengthens our ability to serve patients with precision and confidence. By studying outcomes, refining methods, and sharing findings with peers, we not only grow as doctors but also contribute to the greater body of knowledge in upper cervical chiropractic.

✨”I’m grateful for the chance to both present my own work and learn from the incredible research my colleagues are conducting. Together, we’re building a stronger, evidence-informed future for our profession.”
