https://balancedlivingchiropracticplc.com/ At Balanced Living Chiropractic we have dedicated ourselves to helping the people of Metro-Detroit reach health goals they never thought possible. Of approximately 60,000 chiropractors worldwide, there are only about 2000 upper cervical doctors (These doctors focus their care to the most critical component of the human spine; the atlas or C-1 vertabrae.) Of those, there are only about 200 doctors that have dedicated themselves to the science and art of NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association). Currently, Dr. Cicala is 1 of only about 12 NUCCA upper cervical specific doctors in Michigan . And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:
1. Relief Care for Metro-Detroit

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
Offer ways practice members can participate in their recovery
Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care

2. Wellness Care for Metro-Detroit

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our patients abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model. You’re the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want. Sound interesting?

Do you deal with dizziness, heart racing, fatigue, poor sleep, or lightheadedness—yet all your tests come back normal?
Many people with dysautonomia or POTS try medications, hydration, supplements, and stress management, but still feel unstable.
What’s often overlooked is the upper cervical spine, which houses the brainstem—the control center for your body’s automatic functions.
When this area becomes misaligned—often after trauma—it can contribute to nerve irritation, disrupting regulation throughout the body.
✨ Upper Cervical Care focuses on restoring balance so the nervous system can stabilize.
