Upper Cervical Care
for Citrus Park Residents

From Westfield Citrus Park it is about 10 miles north to our office at State Road 54 and the Suncoast Parkway. Precise, gentle upper cervical chiropractic within an easy drive.

An Easy Drive North

Precision Upper Cervical Care, 15 Minutes Up the Veterans

Citrus Park sits in northwest Hillsborough County, centered on Gunn Highway, Sheldon Road and the Westfield Citrus Park mall, with quick access to the Veterans Expressway. That expressway is what makes the trip to our office so simple: it runs straight north, becomes the Suncoast Parkway, and our office is right at the State Road 54 exit.

We are an upper cervical practice. Rather than adjusting the whole spine at each visit, we focus on the atlas and axis at the top of the neck. Using Orthospinology, we measure their alignment precisely on X-ray, calculate the correction your anatomy needs, and deliver it with a gentle instrument. No cracking, no popping, no twisting.

Patients from Citrus Park often tell us they found us after searching specifically for an upper cervical chiropractor, usually because migraines, dizziness or neck pain had not responded to other care. Our first consultation is complimentary, so you can find out whether we are a good fit before committing.

Who We See

What Brings Citrus Park Patients to Us

Citrus Park is home to many professionals who commute toward Westshore and downtown Tampa, and to many young families. That mix shapes what we see. Desk work and long commutes contribute to forward head posture, neck tension and headaches. Parents bring in children for sports injuries and posture concerns, and expecting mothers come for prenatal care with Dr. Andrea Hutchinson.

We also see patients whose symptoms are harder to pin down: dizziness without a clear inner ear cause, jaw pain and clenching, brain fog, or headaches and neck pain that began after a fall or car accident. Because the upper neck sits at the crossroads of balance, head pain and the brainstem, these patients are often a good fit for a precise upper cervical evaluation.

Whatever the reason, we begin with a thorough history and examination, and we will tell you honestly whether we think we can help.

Office hours: Monday and Wednesday 8am to 12pm and 2pm to 6pm, Tuesday and Thursday 9am to 12pm and 2pm to 6pm, Friday 8am to 12pm. Your first visit is a complimentary consultation.

Serving

Desk and Device Strain

How Modern Work Life Loads the Upper Neck

Your head weighs roughly ten to twelve pounds when it is balanced directly over your shoulders. As it drifts forward to look at a laptop or phone, the effective load on the neck rises sharply, and the small muscles at the base of the skull work overtime to hold it up.

Over months and years, that strain can contribute to upper cervical misalignment, a flattened neck curve and recurring tension headaches. Correcting the atlas restores balance at the top, and when X-rays show the neck curve itself has changed, Spinal Remodeling Therapy uses targeted traction and exercises to help rebuild it.

Quick Fixes for Your Workday

  • •Raise your monitor so the top is at eye level
  • •Hold your phone up instead of looking down at it
  • •Stand up and reset your posture every 30 to 45 minutes
  • •Keep your ears over your shoulders while driving
  • •Avoid cradling the phone between ear and shoulder
  • •Use a pillow that keeps your neck level when you sleep

How Care Works

What to Expect From Start to Finish

Your first visit is a complimentary consultation. If we both agree upper cervical care is worth exploring, your examination includes neurological and postural testing, thermal imaging and precise upper cervical X-rays when clinically warranted.

At your recommendation visit, we walk you through every finding and lay out a clear plan. Visits are closer together at first while your correction settles, then spread out as it holds. We only adjust when your measurements call for it and re-examine regularly so you can see your progress.
