For Out-of-Town Patients
Intensive Care at Gateway Upper Cervical Institute
A one-week, focused care program for out-of-town patients who need faster answers than weekly visits can provide.
For those traveling from out of town — or simply needing a more focused approach — we offer a one-of-a-kind Intensive Care Experience designed to jumpstart your healing in just a few days. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, neurological symptoms, or haven’t found answers elsewhere, this tailored experience provides high-level care, multiple visits per day, and the convenience of on-site lodging — all within walking distance of our clinic.
What is Intensive Care?
Our Intensive Care program is a dedicated, one-week experience designed to help you reach results faster. Over the course of four focused days, you’ll receive precise upper cervical care supported by additional therapies and partner services, all customized to your condition and goals. This isn’t a cookie-cutter plan — it’s deeply personalized care delivered in an immersive, supportive environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Intensive Care program?
It runs four focused days, preceded by a phone consultation before you arrive. Day 1 covers a full exam, digital X-rays, and your first Advanced Orthogonal correction. Days 2 and 3 involve two visits per day to check how well the correction is holding, with adjustments and supportive therapies as needed. Day 4 is a final evaluation with personalized recommendations for continued care once you’re home.
Do I have to be from out of town to do an Intensive?
No. It’s designed with out-of-town patients in mind since it compresses a normal course of care into one week, but local patients who want a more focused, faster-paced approach than weekly visits can request it too.
Where do I stay during the week?
We’ve partnered with a local Airbnb owner offering lodging within one block of our office, so you can walk to every visit instead of driving or arranging transportation. Ask about a discount code during your phone consultation.
How many adjustments will I actually get?
Typically one on Day 1, then up to two check/adjustment visits per day on Days 2 and 3 depending on how your body is holding the correction, plus a final evaluation on Day 4. The exact number varies by how you respond — some patients need fewer re-checks, others need more.
What happens after I go back home?
Before you leave, you’ll get a personalized plan for continued care — which may include periodic visits back at Gateway, referral to an upper cervical provider closer to home, or a self-monitoring schedule, depending on your situation and how your Day 4 evaluation looks.
