Why Patients Choose Chattanooga Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Patients looking for a chiropractor in Chattanooga usually want to understand what upper cervical care actually involves before they commit to anything, and that’s a fair thing to want.

Patients from Chattanooga and surrounding communities choose Chattanooga Upper Cervical Chiropractic because the practice offers:

• A focused upper cervical approach using the Knee Chest and Webster techniques
• A detailed health history and chiropractic exam, including orthopedic and neurologic tests
• High-definition digital X-ray analysis before any adjustment is performed
• Gentle adjustments on a specialized table, using the least amount of force necessary
• Infrared thermography scans before and after adjustments to see how your nervous system is responding
• Two doctors who share the same approach, including Webster-certified care for expecting moms and children with Dr. Esau

Dr. Sjoberg and Dr. Esau aim to evaluate whether upper cervical alignment may be playing a role in what each patient is experiencing, and to be straightforward about it when the answer isn’t clear yet.

Understanding Upper Cervical Care in Chattanooga

Chattanooga Upper Cervical Chiropractic focuses on Knee Chest, a technique that concentrates on the alignment of the atlas and axis — the top two vertebrae in the neck — and their relationship to the skull.

These vertebrae protect the brainstem, where signals between the brain and body pass through. When they shift even slightly, that communication can be interrupted. Knee Chest uses specialized chiropractic tables that allow our Chattanooga chiropractic doctors to make a gentle, precise adjustment using the least amount of force necessary.

Chiropractic care at Chattanooga Upper Cervical Chiropractic typically emphasizes:

• Thorough analysis using high-definition digital X-rays prior to any adjustment
• Gentle, precise adjustments on a specialized table with your upper neck supported
• Infrared thermography before and after each adjustment as an objective check on how your nervous system is responding
• Adjustments timed to what your scans show at each visit, so you’re adjusted only when your body needs it
• A personalized care plan built around your health goals

Because every patient’s situation is different, Dr. Sjoberg and Dr. Esau determine the most appropriate course of care based on individual examination findings.

Conditions Commonly Addressed by Chattanooga Chiropractors

Patients who visit Chattanooga Upper Cervical Chiropractic often arrive after living with recurring symptoms that haven’t fully resolved through other means. While each person’s situation is unique, many people explore upper cervical chiropractic when persistent issues continue to affect their daily comfort and function.

Our Chattanooga chiropractic office frequently works with individuals experiencing concerns such as:

• Migraines and recurring headaches
• Vertigo and vestibular issues
• Persistent neck discomfort or stiffness
• TMJ dysfunction
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Occipital neuralgia
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic fatigue syndrome

Because the upper neck surrounds the brainstem, even a subtle misalignment at the top of the spine can sometimes influence how the nervous system functions.

During an initial evaluation, Dr. Sjoberg and Dr. Esau assess the upper neck carefully to determine whether upper cervical adjustments may be appropriate based on each patient’s findings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care in Chattanooga

What is the Knee Chest chiropractic technique? 

This upper cervical chiropractic technique focuses on the alignment of the atlas and axis at the top of the spine. Dr. Sjoberg and Dr. Esau use X-rays to see how the joints at the base of your skull and your top two vertebrae are positioned. With your upper neck supported on a specialized table, they then make a gentle, precise adjustment using the least amount of force necessary.

My scans came back normal, but I still don’t feel right. Does that mean nothing is wrong? 

Not necessarily. Standard imaging is designed to rule out serious problems, and a clean result is genuinely good news. But those scans usually aren’t looking at the specific positioning of the top two vertebrae that upper cervical analysis evaluates. Some patients arrive at our Chattanooga chiropractic office with a folder of normal results and a body that still isn’t cooperating. Both of those things can be true at the same time.

Is the adjustment uncomfortable? 

Knee Chest chiropractic adjustments are gentle and use the least amount of force necessary. You’ll rest on a specialized table with your upper neck supported, and the doctor will explain each step before they begin, so you always know what’s happening.

I’ve been dealing with this for years. Is it too late for me? 

Not necessarily. Longstanding concerns can take longer to respond, and Dr. Sjoberg and Dr. Esau will take a look at your case and examine your neck to help you determine whether you’re a candidate for upper cervical care. 

Can I bring my kids, or come in while I’m pregnant? 

Yes. Dr. Esau is Webster Certified and a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and she especially loves caring for expecting moms, infants, and children. Just let the front desk know when you call.

What happens at my first visit? 

Your first visit starts with a conversation about your health history, what you’ve been experiencing, and your goals. Dr. Sjoberg or Dr. Esau then performs a chiropractic exam with orthopedic and neurologic tests, uses digital infrared thermography to set a baseline, and takes high-definition digital X-rays of your upper neck. From there, the doctors build a care plan tailored to your needs.

Does Chattanooga Upper Cervical Chiropractic offer consultations for new patients?

Yes. New patients are encouraged to reach out to schedule a consultation, where they can speak withDr. Sjoberg and Dr. Esau, ask questions, and learn more about whether Knee chest chiropractic care or Webster chiropractic may be right for their situation.
