Practice Areas
Gateway Upper Cervical Institute treats nine conditions linked to misalignment at the top of the neck, plus a one-week intensive program for out-of-town patients.
Every condition below is addressed through the same core method: precise, image-guided correction of the atlas (C1) using the Advanced Orthogonal technique. Choose a condition to see the specific mechanism, process, and frequently asked questions for that symptom.
Vertigo & Dizziness
Persistent vertigo often traces back to a misaligned atlas (C1), not the inner ear.
POTS & Autonomic Imbalance
POTS symptoms often begin after a head or neck injury that disrupted brainstem autonomic regulation.
Headaches & Migraines
Chronic headaches and migraines often trace back to a craniocervical junction problem, not a pain problem.
Arm & Hand Numbness or Tingling
Unexplained arm and hand numbness often originates at the top of the cervical spine, not the wrist or elbow.
Trigeminal Neuralgia & Facial Pain
Trigeminal neuralgia pain often originates from brainstem irritation caused by an upper neck misalignment, not the nerve itself.
Concussion and mTBI
Almost every concussion carries a cervical component, because the forces involved rarely injure the brain without also affecting the neck.
TMJ Dysfunction & Jaw Pain
Chronic jaw dysfunction often starts at the foundation the jaw sits on — the upper neck — not the jaw joint itself.
Brain Fog & Cognitive Fatigue
Brain fog with normal labs often points to a circulation and brainstem-signal issue at the top of the neck, not a lack of effort.
Tinnitus & Ear Ringing
Tinnitus with normal hearing tests often points to a brainstem regulation problem at the top of the neck, not an ear problem.
Intensive Care Program
A one-week, focused care program for out-of-town patients who need faster answers than weekly visits can provide.
