"When the brainstem is functioning at 100%, it can heal any disease known to man" -Harvard Med School

Upper Cervical Care isn’t magic.
It isn’t alternative.
It’s physiology.
If the brainstem is irritated or compressed, the entire operating system runs glitchy. Muscles overreact. Blood flow changes. Digestion slows. Hormones fluctuate. Sleep gets fragmented.
Fix the OS and watch the apps start behaving.

Healthcare was never supposed to mean chasing symptoms from appointment to appointment.
It was supposed to mean taking care of the human system—the whole system.
Nutrition. Movement. Mindset. Alignment.
Not glamorous, but profoundly effective.
Every day I see people transform when they realize their body isn’t broken… it’s just been miscommunicating and lacking a few key habits.

Your body speaks.
The question is whether we listen.
Upper Cervical Care isn’t about forcing bones around. It’s about restoring the clarity of communication between brain and body so your natural healing systems can finally do what they’ve been trying to do all along.
Quiet the noise. Restore the signal. Healing starts from there.

Most people think pain is the problem.
Most of the time, pain is just the messenger.
If the head and neck - where the foundation of your nervous system resides - aren’t aligned, your body ends up trying to run a supercomputer on a frayed power cable. Symptoms are the flickering screen. Correct the alignment → restore the signal → watch the “system errors” settle.
Healthcare works a whole lot better when we stop silencing the messenger and start fixing the wiring.

"I tried restoring my alignment for a few months, but then I stopped," some have said in various ways. Folks, do you have any idea the number of people who remain on drugs they may have even forgotten why they take? I understand where chiropractic stands, that some may just try it for a fraction of the time they'd try pharmaceuticals, but rethink that. Give restoring alignment a year - just a year. In all likelihood, it'll change your life.

Another cool story from this week: after just one persistent episode of pain in the hands, this person was given the label/diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis. No other history. Within a few days, they went from pain free to being on two strong medications indefinitely. One adjustment. Pain gone. No more meds. Awesome for this person right? Big picture, most don't get that adjustment; they just stay on drugs they may not need and slowly get worse.

Very cool story shared with us this morning: after a year spent seeing doctor after doctor, being given several diagnoses, and various medications only to be worse than ever in recent months, this person had a pain and headache free week. One adjustment. Most importantly, the adjustment held. It's amazing what happens when we stop treating symptoms and find/correct cause. Remember: head/neck misalignment affects 95% of the population.

Our system is not built on being healthy, but rather on managing the symptoms of being unhealthy. Even research funding, which should drive better outcomes, is overwhelmingly spent on learning how to better treat disease instead of on how to prevent it. Yet, disease is more prominent than ever, rates of cancer, heart disease, and innumerable other conditions are climbing instead of falling. Meanwhile, people are dying in alarming numbers from adverse reactions to medical treatments.

The most revolutionary idea in healthcare today might be among the simplest: it is easier to keep a well person healthy than to get a sick person well.

I wrote an article this month! It can be found on page 12. The article is entitled: Begin Before the Day. "I started noticing it first in my kids. They’d roll out of bed, already halfway somewhere else in their minds. Perhaps you know the look: eyes glazed, faces neutral, just going through the motions. Come downstairs. Grab breakfast. Can’t you see the glare of YouTube shorts in their eyes? Then, hustling out the door. Our kids are like mirrors held up to our lives. I remember not long ago a different routine, but the same autopilot." - Read on!
This is advice specifically geared toward men, but it's universal in application. I hope you take something life-giving away from it 🙂🙂🙏👊

"Defining fear as False Evidence Appearing Real is a disservice to the power of fear. There’s nothing false about it. It seems vividly real. More precisely, fear is an imagined future pain. The pain could be physical, emotional, or even spiritual. It’s an invisible prison we construct, designed to protect us. We each have a unique set of protective warnings based on our previous experiences. But one thing is clear: Everything we want, desire, and yearn for exists on the other side of fear. If we’re feeling stuck, spinning our wheels, expressing an irrational aversion, or tolerating a seemingly invisible constraint, identify the underlying fear—the future imagined pain. Thankfully, fear is just a bully. Confront it, stand up to it and it slinks away. Defeated. Conquered." - Bill Esteb

Born in Greensboro and raised in Kernersville, Dr. Chad was no different than a lot of young kids in that he suffered numerous falls. He pretended to be Peter Pan, fell off of a chair, and let his chin break his fall. He ran around the house, slipped, and had his head meet the edge of the coffee table. Dozens of stitches and several sports related injuries later, he and his mom were involved in a car accident when he was 9 years old. He suffered from whiplash, but did not truly feel the effects of the crash until a few years later, when he went down on the soccer field clutching his back. At age 13, he was diagnosed with a slipped disc. Chiropractic helped get him back on the field.
Four years later, he was involved in a second car accident on I-40 in Greensboro. He totaled his car, but walked away without any serious concerns. However, in the years that followed, he developed chronic upper back, neck, and shoulder pain. By age 21, he was in pain all day, every day. The more he was on his feet, the pain grew less tolerable. He began having problems with his knee for the first time, he grew less and less mentally focused, and his digestive system became chronically irritated.
After graduating from North Carolina State University and moving to St. Louis, Missouri to attend chiropractic school, his symptoms intensified. It reached a point where general chiropractic just was not working for him anymore. He tried various medications. None of them worked. He tried physical therapy. It did not work, either. Frustrated, Chad was beginning to dislike his chosen profession.
The answer to his prayers came mid-way through his professional education when he was introduced to Upper Cervical Care. Despite years of general chiropractic care, it was a specific, gentle correction to his upper cervical spine that gave him his health back. Three weeks after his first correction, he felt the best he'd felt in over ten years. His shoulder, neck, and upper back pain subsided, his digestive system returned to normal, and he got his focus back. Naturally, his inclination was to spread the word to his friends and family back in North Carolina. He was disappointed to learn that no such doctors were based in the Triad. It became his goal to change that situation.
Since being under Upper Cervical Care, his chronic issues have become a thing of the past. He’s had the privilege of becoming an Upper Cervical Doctor so that he may bring this unique brand of health care to his hometown and surrounding areas. Since opening his office, patients have traveled from Asheboro, Mebane, Burlington, Reidsville, Cary, and southern Virginia to experience Upper Cervical Care.
Thanks to his own life changing experience with Upper Cervical, his passion is to educate people about a new paradigm in healthcare – one that focuses on the importance of having a normal functioning neurologic system rather than the symptoms that result from abnormal functioning.
“Your body was designed to be very dynamic, capable of overcoming almost anything. It doesn’t need much help to be well…just no interference to what it was intended to do.” - Dr. Chad
