Hopeless from Neck Pain? Find True Relief Naturally

Persistent Pain? Fix the Problem at Its Source

Address the Root Cause Naturally, not just the Symptoms.

No Drugs. No Surgery. Just Lasting Relief.

Trusted by Thousands to Heal Naturally and Effectively.

Address the Root Cause Naturally—Not Just the Symptoms

After 31 years of extensive research and treating tens of thousands of severe neck pain cases, Dr. Ray has seen it all. Neck pain isn’t caused by a “drug deficiency” or “extra body parts”—it stems from spinal misalignment and imbalance.

No Drugs. No Surgery. Just Lasting Relief

Medications and surgeries don’t fix the underlying issue. Our specialized, non-invasive approach corrects imbalances at the source, helping you achieve real, long-term relief.

Trusted by Thousands to Heal Naturally and Effectively

Over 10,000 patients have turned to Upper Cervical Spine Center for relief from chronic neck pain. Let us show you why our gentle, precise care stands out.

Why Our Approach Works

Relief That Lasts

We focus on aligning the top two bones in your neck—akin to the “central processing unit” of the body—so your brain can effectively communicate with every muscle and organ.

This gentle realignment often resolves chronic pain that lingers even after standard treatments.

No Drugs. No Surgery

Taking medications will never fix neck pain because the cause of neck pain was never the result of a lack of medication.
– Dr. Ray

Our proven technique realigns your spine without twisting or cracking, allowing your body to restore itself from within.

Free Consultation & Exam

You’ll come in, have a conversation with one of our doctors, and we’ll actually ask some questions, get to the root problem…

We’ll do a full evaluation to find out where the issue is. If we can help, great—if not, we’ll refer you to someone who can.

I went to Dr. Drury with severe neck pain and discomfort and his treatment changed my life. I have no more neck pain or discomfort and highly recommend Dr. Drury's office to anyone that has neck or back issues.
Brad Kucharo
I don't generally submit online reviews but I felt I needed to for this. I thought my back pain was due to a pulled muscle or something very minor that only needed minimal adjustments. Unfortunately, my neck, entire spine, and back are completely out of alignment.
Candace Hampton
I am very happy with Upper Cervical Spine Center. The staff and service provided are great and my neck feels better now than it has in years.
Cheley Melchior
Upper Cervical Spine has really helped with my neck pain and has allowed me to play golf on a weekly basis at age 71. Great staff!
Fred J Apel
Read the article in the paper about Dr. Drury, prayed about it, and made the appointment. I started treatment in May and for the last two months have been pain free. My energy is returning, and I am able to do a lot more.
Jenny Godwin Penley
My family has been under care since 2001. The concept is simple: align the top two bones in your neck, allow the brain to effectively communicate with all parts of your body and expect health!
Billy Doherty
I found Dr. Drury and his practice when I thought the only option left for me would be surgery. While researching neck surgery and realizing how invasive it is (and not guaranteed to work), I stumbled on upper cervical chiropractic, and the episode 'The Doctors' did on it.
Kim E.
Dr. Drury has changed my life!! I suffered from migraines for many years and finally saw Dr. Drury. He discovered my neck was misaligned and started adjustments. I saw immediate results and could not be more grateful to get my life back!
Lori Fuqua
Extremely helpful restoring range of motion and reducing stiffness /tight neck muscles -highly recommend Upper Cervical Spine Center!

Understanding the Real Cause of Neck Pain

Your spine should be straight from front to back and have three major curves from the side. When those curves are lost or when the spine is out of balance, muscles stretch on one side and contract on the other, causing pain, fatigue, and eventually disc thinning or bulging.

Alignment Matters

Lose proper posture, and neck pain follows.

Muscular Imbalance

One side tightens, the other side strains; results in chronic discomfort.

Degeneration Risks

Over time, misalignment can lead to serious spinal issues.

We Offer a Different Path

Our gentle Upper Cervical Care targets the root cause of your neck pain by pinpointing and correcting vertebral misalignments that disrupt nerve signals. No medication, no surgery—just real results.

Root Cause
Resolution

We don’t treat symptoms; we fix the structural imbalance causing your pain.

Unleash the Body’s Healing Power

“Like rebooting a malfunctioning computer,” Dr. Ray says, alignment can restore normal function.

Holistic
Wellness

Many patients notice improved sleep, better posture, and more energy as their body heals.

Expertise

Over 30 years of clinical practice and 10,000+ success stories.
