I usually try not to write negative reviews, but I want to make sure that people have a well-rounded view of Upper Cervical care. I moved to Cincinnati from Iowa after having mixed experiences with chiropractic care. My first chiropractor in Cedar Rapids, Iowa was a sports chiropractor, who ended up doing more harm than good, and left me with back spasms! A friend recommended checking out the Spinal Corrective Center instead, and wow, what a difference that made! They used unique rotating platforms to quickly smooth out the neck muscles and and loosen up their connections to the upper cervical vertebrae. They also used a tool that sent a firm pulse to the upper cervical vertebrae that were out of alignment. Every time I walked out of their office, I felt noticeably better- and it got to the point that I felt good even after only visiting 2 times a year or less! After moving to Cincinnati, I began spending a lot more time at my computer/desk and working out, which eventually irritated my neck and led to headaches. I thought i should give a local chiropractor a try, so I searched Cincinnati for spinal corrective centers and then only thing that sounded comparable was Cincinnati Upper Cervical. I was excited to try it out. Dr. Brent Owens and his staff are extremely kind and professional. I always felt comfortable going in for a visit. They took very thorough x-rays of my neck/lower skull during my first visit, and I was excited to see what hed be able to do for me! Unfortunately, over the course of the next half year, I was underwhelmed at my results. I didnt notice any differences until I started modifying my office chair and desk setup and looking up neck stretching exercises online. I did ask Dr. Owens for some pointers, and he offered a few limited tips, that didnt help my neck muscles feel relaxed. I ended up finding some great stretches online, and this ended up mostly fixing my issues, in combination with the modifications Id made to my bed and tweaks to my weightlifting techniques in the gym that avoided unnecessary neck strain. Each visit to Upper Cervical felt as though nothing was changed, aside from 1-2 times out of my ~20 visits. The tool used for Upper Cervical care felt equivalent to a small pen being clicked on my neck/back. This approach never helped my tense neck muscles and never seemed to make any difference. So I was disappointed to pay such a sizable chunk of money for nothing (Upper Cervical was not covered by my insurance plan, but I still wanted to give it a try). Their contract also rules out the possibility of a refund, which was disappointing, but is understandable. Hopefully from this long review, incoming patients can understand the other side of the story, because the reviews make it look like there is a 100% success rate. Again, I have the utmost respect for Dr. Brent Owens and his staff- I just think that the technique being used is ineffective for my particular neck issues. Im sure it can help others, though, as judged by the strong reviews on google and the Upper Cervical documentary continually playing in the waiting room. I moved to Nashville within the past year and am now looking for alternatives to Upper Cervical care.

I have been going to Dr. Owens for probably for about 6 years now. He is extremely helpful and truly cares about your overall well being. Upper cervical chiropractic is a simple adjust that can solve so many issues, including immunity. It is my first year working in a large childcare facility, which usually means I should be sick all the time. On the contrary, I have been sick 1 time and my coworker (employee for 4 years) has been sick 3 to 4 times. She goes to the regular chiropractor, but not uppercervical. I am very thankful for my ongoing health and healing of Upper Cervical.

Dr. Owens and his staff are amazing! They care about each individual patient and it shows. When I began treatment I was not convinced that a chiropractor could help my chronic health issues, having been to many before Dr. Owens. I am so glad I was wrong! Although Im still a work in progress, the difference between my pain levels when I began and today (around 4 months the later) are like night and day and Ive discontinued the majority of my prescription medications!!! I highly recommend Dr. Owens.

This is not your typical Chriropractic office! I was recommended to Uchc by a friend when I hurt my shoulder last year and even after some time it didnt get better. A day or so after my first adjustment, I felt almost normal again. It didnt even occur to me to mention my knee pain but on my next visit, Dr. Owens asked if there was anything else wrong. With one simple, gentle adjustment I was able to avoid knee surgery and run around with my kids and dog again for the first time in over 6months!

Dr. Owens is super accessible and thoroughly explains your diagnosis. I was comforted by his desire to have our bodies heal on their own and not have to rely on medicine or his continual adjustment. I went in after experiencing severe neck and shoulder pain. Not only did he get me in right away, he expedited looking at my case to help me feel better. The pain was gone within a week or so. I continue to go to Dr. Owens and he is so responsive and adaptive to my needs.

Dr. Owen cares for my husband and I and our five kids (including our newborn). He is very caring and gentle. The upper cervical approach has helped heal our bodies. I am able to sleep better and no longer have the neck pain I have had for years. My two youngest children used to suffer from weekly headaches that included vomiting, but now that are pretty infrequent. I am so thankful for the wholebody care we receive at this family friendly chiropractor.

In just 4 months, my over 5 year ordeal of constant shoulder, neck and head pain from a near fatal accident has been significantly reduced. I have since had no need for prescriptions or OTC remedies for pain and sleep management and have resumed a daily activity schedule void of them. I am making consistent progress with Dr. Brent Owens care and highly recommend him to all my friends, family and to you.

Dr. Owen has been such a great doctor for our family. He has treated my five kids ranging from newborn through 12 years of age, as well as my husband and I, for headaches, major back problems, colds, and even helped me to sleep better! He is gentle, his treatments are precise, and he does not crack or pop my body. Their facility is welcoming and clean, and staff is competent and friendly.

Dr. Owens is amazing! Ive been a patient for a long time due to my chronic low back pain. Before Upper Cervical Health Center, I was seen by numerous physicians, PTs, and one chiropractor at Childrens and Beacon Ortho, but nothing seemed to help. Dr. Owens made my pain go from a constant 10/10 to a 2/10, and the adjustments are pain-free. Nothing like a normal chiropractor.

Dr. Owens is awesome! I had lower back pain that wouldnt go away with physical therapy. I started seeing Dr. Owens and he helped my pain go away for the long term. I see Dr. Owens monthly for maintenance and the occasional pain caused by my running. I definitely believe in his vision of keeping the body aligned for optimal functionality. Thanks!
