The Hidden Connection Between Old Injuries and Neurological Conditions
Do you suffer from migraines, vertigo, fibromyalgia, or other neurological conditions? Have you ever had a head or neck injury—maybe years ago—that you barely thought about? Many people don’t realize that past whiplash, concussions, or falls can lead to long-term neurological dysfunction. If this sounds familiar, your symptoms may be linked to upper cervical misalignment, and it’s time to address the root cause.
Did an Old Injury Set the Stage for Your Symptoms?
Many patients who come to Peak Chiropractic with neurological conditions have a history of head or neck trauma, even if it happened years ago. Think back—have you experienced any of the following?
- A motor vehicle accident causing whiplash
- A concussion from a fall or sports injury
- A slip or fall that impacted your head or neck
- A horseback riding, snowboarding, or skiing accident
- Any other impact to your head or spine
These types of injuries can dislodge the top two bones in your spine—the atlas (C1) and axis (C2)—from their proper alignment.
How an Old Misalignment Can Lead to Neurological Issues
When the C1 and C2 vertebrae are misaligned, they don’t just affect the spine—they impact the entire nervous system. Over time, the misalignment can cause:
- Restricted blood flow to the brain
- Increased pressure on the brainstem
- Poor nervous system communication, leading to symptoms like:
- Chronic migraines and headaches
- Dizziness and vertigo
- Fibromyalgia and widespread pain
- Trigeminal neuralgia and facial pain
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) symptom aggravation
Since these misalignments often go unnoticed, many people don’t connect their symptoms to an old injury. But as the body compensates for the instability, neurological dysfunction can worsen over time.
The Solution: Restoring Alignment, Restoring Health
If an old injury is at the root of your health issues, the first step to recovery is getting evaluated by an upper cervical chiropractic specialist. At Peak Chiropractic, we use precise imaging technology to check for misalignments in the atlas and axis.
If misalignment is found, we create a customized adjustment plan to:
- Gently realign the C1 and C2 vertebrae
- Restore proper nervous system function
- Allow your body to heal naturally
By addressing the root cause instead of just managing symptoms, we help reset your body’s ability to heal, getting you back on the path to optimal health.
If this sounds like your experience, schedule a consultation today—your body deserves a second chance at healing.

Dr Jon and Dr Kyara listened to me, heard me, empathized with me, and helped me.
Peak has been a game changer for me. I have struggled with migraines for years. After a lot different trial and errors I found Peak and now I can say I have found a solution. Dr Jon and Dr Kyara listened to me, heard me, empathized with me, and helped me. They were super flexible and understanding with my busy schedule. I am more than grateful not be losing a day a week to migraines. I am excited to continue seeing them and experience even more health benefits.Read Original Review
Since starting upper cervical chiropractic, there have been lasting changes in my upper and lower back
I have used conventional chiropractic (spinal manipulation, actuators, etc) for over 40 years. These adjustments never held or stabilized my issues. Since starting upper cervical chiropractic, there have been lasting changes in my upper and lower back and in my right hip. I have been to the Peak office for over 4 months now and am completely excited that as I enter my 80’s, I have had these significant improvements in my physical being. Thank you Peak staff!Read Original Review
I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment!
I was working in Boise and seen an ad for Peak Chiropractic, I suffered with migraines, vertigo and severe nerve pain in my shoulders for 15+ years and thought it was something I was just going to live with. After an informative consultation then some 3-D imaging, a severe misalignment was found in my upper cervical area. Dr. Johnathon Finney made one adjustment before I had to go back home to Kentucky and it changed my life! I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment! AND he found a doctor near my home town that he went to school with and shared my files so I can have care when I am home and when I am in Boise for work! I cannot thank Dr. Johnathon enough for giving me my life back and think everyone needs to experience what Peak Chiropractic and their upper cervical care can do for them!Read Original Review
