Mission & Philosophy

Our practice specializes in upper cervical care using the foundational techniques of Quantum Spinal Mechanics (QSM3) and NUCCA.

As your Chiropractor, my mission in life is to have Upper Cervical Care be the entry point on the planet for universal health and wellness. Our goal is to correct the spine from a dynamic upper cervical care model to restore proper nerve flow, communication, and harmony in the body. Once the structural integrity has begun, we then utilize other tools to determine deficiencies or weakness that may be occurring internally.

Upper cervical care is an extremely gentle procedure that involves finding out how the spine has misaligned and compensated in a very specific way. Once this is determined through the use of a precision posture measuring device, specific x-rays, examination, and a scan of the nervous system, a gentle correction can be made to bring the body into a neurologically neutral position. This is where the body needs to be in order to optimally heal.

Once the foundation has been corrected, the patient has the option to address some of the biochemical stress in his or her system.

For over 23 years I have helped people with Migraine, Herniated Disc, Shoulder Pain, Carpal Tunnel, Pinched Nerve, Neck Pain, and Back Pain. I proudly serve the communities of Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Irvine and greater Orange County. You can learn more about my background here.

I encourage you to watch how an upper cervical care adjustment is performed and hear our amazing patient success stories.

Yours In Health,

Dr. Shannon Connor
