How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Changed My Life — Dr. Jonathan Finney's Story
Upper cervical chiropractic is one of the best-kept secrets in healthcare. I know this from personal experience—because it changed my life. My health struggles as a child led me to a life-changing discovery that not only restored my well-being but also inspired my career. Here’s my story.
My Health Struggles as a Child
As a young child, I was constantly sick. I missed so many days of school that I was held back in kindergarten. By the age of eight, my doctors recommended removing my tonsils and adenoids because I was getting sick so often.
When I turned 11, I began suffering from migraines and chronic headaches, but every attempt to find relief in the traditional medical system only made things worse. I was stuck in a cycle of illness with no real answers.
The Life-Changing Discovery of Upper Cervical Care
At 14 years old, my mother decided to try something different. She took me to an upper cervical chiropractor, where I received my first adjustment—and that day, my migraines completely stopped.
Over time, I noticed:
- My headaches dramatically decreased
- I stopped getting sick all the time
- My seasonal allergies improved every year
- My spinal alignment corrected itself—an 11mm pelvic discrepancy was reduced to just 0.6mm after four months of care
The most incredible part? The only bone adjusted was the top bone in my spine, proving to me how deeply connected the entire spine is.
Why I Dedicated My Life to Upper Cervical Chiropractic
I learned that less than 3% of chiropractors focus on upper cervical care, and yet, this approach had given me my health and my life back.
At just 17 years old, I made the decision to dedicate my career and my life to helping others through upper cervical chiropractic. Today, I have the honor and privilege of caring for patients every day—people just like me who have been searching for answers.
If you’ve tried everything and still struggle with your health, I encourage you to explore upper cervical chiropractic. It changed my life—and it could change yours too.

My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore.
Dr. Jon and Kyara are amazing!!! I lived with severe neck and shoulder pain for 5 years, trying everything you can think of for relief. Nothing helped. One day I saw a video on Instagram that just spoke to me. It was everything I was experiencing. The videos are so informative. I called that day and set an appointment. Kyara asked me before my first adjustment if I was ready for the first day of my new life and in my mind I truly wasn’t convinced that it was going to be as magical as it has been. I’ve been there and tried that so I was hopeful but not 100% convinced. She was right, it was the first day of my new life. My pain is nothing like it was, it used to be all I could think about. I’m not perfect yet but I’m on my way there. Peak Chiropractic has changed my life. Best decision I have ever made for myself. My son (13) got a scan for frequent headaches and sensory issues. Dr. Jon had me bring him in for a scan and again was hopeful but not fully convinced and once again they were right. My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore. It has been amazing for him and I’m so grateful he is getting treatment as well. On top of all the goodness we have had since starting we also feel cared for by both Dr. Jon and Kyara. They feel like family and care about us. Kyara is also super into all around health and I am always learning things from her each time I go. Definitely life changing all the way around and I highly recommend checking them out. You will not be disappointed!Read Original Review

They are great people, and I always feel better walking out of the office
Peak Chiropractic has taken great care of me over the past few months. They are the only chiropractic clinic in Idaho with a full neck CT scan, which helps them better understand how to adjust you vs traditional X-rays. They are great people, and I always feel better walking out of the office!Read Original Review
