Upper cervical chiropractic
A careful look at where your head meets your neck
Axis Chiropractic is a two-person practice on Bardstown Road. We measure first, adjust only when the exam calls for it, and check again before we do anything more.
A visit, in order
Five steps, one at a time
Each step has a place on the neck. Your doctor goes down the list with you, and you can stop at any step.
- 1
Your goals and history
We start by listening. You tell us what you want from care and what you want us to know.
- 2
The upper neck exam
We look at how your head sits and move through a few simple checks, seated, with light touch.
- 3
Imaging, only when medically necessary
Most visits need none. If your doctor wants an image, you hear why before it is taken.
- 4
An adjustment, if the exam calls for one
A light, specific contact, once. Rare serious risks come with any neck care, and the doctor explains them first.
- 5
A re-check before anything more
We measure again and compare. Then we decide together whether to wait, adjust or refer you.
Scope
What we do not claim
Upper cervical care is a way of examining and adjusting the top of the neck. It has limits, and we say them first.
The doctor explains the rare serious risks of neck care before any neck adjustment, and you can say no at any step.
We do not promise a result, or a number of visits.
We do not say this method treats or cures a disease.
We do not say it is better than other chiropractic care or your physician's care.
We do not take x-rays of every patient, only when medically necessary.
We do not ask you to stop care from another provider.
Care at Axis
Five parts of care
Each page says what the visit includes, what we do not claim and when to see a physician first.
The first look, before anything is done.
Only when your doctor can say why.
A light, specific contact, only when the exam calls for it.
Measure again, compare, decide.
How you sit, sleep and move, in plain steps.
Who you will see
Two people, one front door
A small practice: the doctor who examines you is the doctor who adjusts you.

Before you book
Questions people ask first
What happens at the first visit?
A conversation, an exam and a plan. Imaging happens only when it is medically necessary, and we tell you what each part costs before it happens.
What are the risks?
Every kind of care has risks. Neck adjustments carry rare serious risks, which your doctor explains before any adjustment. See a physician first if you have the warning signs on our care pages.
How many visits will I need?
The exam decides. Your doctor sets a plan afterward and changes it as we re-check. We do not promise a number.
Do you take my insurance?
Some plans pay for part of chiropractic care and some do not. Our fees page says how we handle both.
