Deciding to have treatment for my back and neck has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health. I've suffered for years with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, and digestive issues.

This is the first time in years that I have energy to work a 12 hour day and work out. I've picked up running again. I am practically pain free. I have improved to 90% from about 50%. I'm recommending Dr. Shaw to whoever will listen. He is caring and really listens to what is bothering me. The ladies at the front desk are so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend them.

Healed her Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and more

Great place, great care. Had a severe neck pain that radiated down into my neck into my shoulder. I met Dr. Shaw at the Wilmington Home Show and he asked me how I was feeling and I told him I was pain. He told him to come in the next day. He X-rayed me and started treatment that day.

After a few days and treatments the pained disappeared. A few more treatments and I was great! Great folks and would recommend it to anyone.

Healed Neck Pain

Upper cervical and Dr. Shaw changed my life! I have suffered from headaches every single day for the past 16 years and since my first week at upper cervical I did not wake up with a headache anymore. It has added Life back to my every day!

Not only that, but Dr. Shaw and his staff are the nicest and most welcoming people Who remember my name every time I walk in and make me feel comfortable. I have seen a regular chiropractor for my entire life and never got any true relief until I visited upper cervical.

Healed her Headaches

I had been struggling with neck and shoulder pain for years, patching it up with monthly massages and occasional trips to The Joint Chiropractor. But when daily headaches took over my life for two months straight, I realized I needed more than just temporary relief. That's when I decided to visit Upper Cervical Spine Center in Ogden, hoping for a solution to the root cause of my pain.

To my surprise, my experience there was nothing short of transformative. During my initial consultation, I opted for X-rays without knowing what to expect. They handed me a book written by Dr. Shaw’s mentor, Dr. Ray Drury, titled “The Best Kept Secret In Health Care.” Though I'm not an avid reader, I found it impossible to put down. The book enlightened me on how misalignments in the top two bones of the neck can trigger a range of issues, and how realigning them can support the body's central nervous system and overall healing process.

Despite considering myself well-versed in holistic wellness, I had never come across the wonders of the upper cervical adjustment. This new understanding has not only inspired me but also motivated me to share my knowledge with friends and family. I'm genuinely excited to see how consistent visits to Dr. Shaw will improve my well-being.

To anyone feeling stuck in a cycle of temporary fixes like meditation or nerve blocks, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Shaw. The entire office staff is incredibly accommodating and welcoming, and Dr. Shaw himself is personable, guiding you through each step of the process.

Upper Cervical Spine Center in Ogden has opened my eyes to a better way of managing my health, and I cannot wait to continue my journey with them.

Jen Gouge

Healed Back and Rheumatoid Arthritis

After years of back pain and trying to solution with PT, “traditional” chiropractic treatment, and pain meds, a friend recommended Dr Shaw and his belief in treating the upper cervical (2 bones in the top of the neck) alignment. I’m amazed and extremely grateful for Dr. Shaw.

If you’re someone who says, “Nothing works to help my back pain,” this is your next step in your healing journey. Give it a try. And the staff is amazing as well!! ❤️

Healed Back Pain

Awesome staff!! Dr. Shaw is so personable and really makes you feel cared for. Life changing!

Ashley Perry

Life changing

I get migraines that are absolutely debilitating to my everyday life. I’ve tried it all, prescriptions and over the counter pain relief medications. Nothing helped, until I saw Dr. Shaw.

In just a few visits I started noticing a difference. Less and less migraines throughout my day and week! Not only is he wonderful to work with, but he truly cares about his patients. He gives you all the information you’d need to know without even having to ask questions first. And when you do ask questions, he gives a very detailed answer, and even dumbed it down for me when I didn’t quite understand.

To add, the women who works the front desk, Kara, is an absolute pleasure! When I call to make appointments she’s always so personable and gets me in ASAP, especially around my work schedule.

I highly recommend The Upper Cervical Spine Center and won’t ever go back to the medications I took. Thank you Dr. Shaw!

You Might Be Wondering

Is this too good to be true?

No. Upper Cervical Care takes all the guesswork out. When the nervous system is healthy the body heals.

How come I've never heard of Upper Cervical Care?

There are only 1000 specialists in this field – in the world.

How does it work?

Every single nerve in the body originates at the brainstem, Upper Cervical Chiropractors are trained to detect and align pressure in that area of the spine to restore the functioning and healing signals to your body.

Does it hurt?

No. The correction does not hurt. There is no twisting, turning, or jerking of the neck. If your spine is really ‘locked up’, there may be some discomfort, but the adjustment does not cause any pain.

Can you help maintain my health?

Yes! Upper Cervical Chiropractic has one goal: to release pressure from the nervous system. This allows the impulsses from your brain to be unimpeded as they traavel throughout your body, promoting proper functioning and healing. With a fully functioning nervous system, your body will maintain health at an optimal level.

We Align the Head and Neck So That the Nerves Can Send Brain Healing Messages to Affected Parts Of Your Body.
