Upper Cervical Care · Tampa Bay

Find the root cause.

Migraines, vertigo, brain fog, and more begin higher than most people ever check — at the junction of the skull and spine. We find what is driving your symptoms, and we correct it.

What We Help With

Conditions we treat at the root

Why the Upper Neck

Your neck is your brain’s safety sensor.

About 70% of the position information your brain uses comes from the upper cervical spine. When it is misaligned, it can irritate the nerves and restrict the blood flow the brain depends on — and the body stays on alert. A precise correction changes that picture.

My husband and I started bringing our daughter to Cerebral when she was just shy of 3 months old. She struggled with reflux, sleep, and turning her head. Dr. Ethan has been amazing — gentle at every visit. Eight months in, she sleeps well, her neck mobility is full, the reflux is gone, and she's the most joyful baby.

I suffered for over 3 years with headaches, degenerative disc disease and occipital neuralgia. Dizziness, then vertigo, nausea and brain fog, then tinnitus. Two chiropractors, my primary care doctors, a nerve block, neurologists, medications — being me was gone. Until I found Cerebral and Dr. Ethan. He gave me my life back, literally.

My child's orthodontist referred us. I have bulging discs in my cervical spine that were causing headaches and tingling in my hands. Dr. Ethan's approach is straightforward and results-based. I now have zero symptoms and my imaging shows the disc positioning improved.

I went in dealing with vertigo and POTS-like symptoms — constant dizziness, headaches, and issues with balance and coordination. After my very first treatment I felt a difference. As I've continued care I've gotten parts of my life back I didn't realize I was missing. Truly life-changing.

I've suffered from chronic neck pain and migraines since I was a young adult, and TMJ since my teens. Dr. Ethan has a gift for identifying complex issues others miss. After treatment my chronic neck pain is completely gone for the first time in decades, and my TMJ symptoms disappeared.

I have suffered from migraines most of my life. Dr. Chris at Cerebral has been very successful at getting me back on track with upper cervical care. I know it's working when I can go weeks without remembering when I last had a migraine.

Dr. Ethan at Cerebral in St. Petersburg is amazing! I've had migraines for over 20 years and visited other upper cervical chiropractors — none gave me the quality of care Dr. Ethan has.

One year ago I had frequent migraines, vertigo and back pain, and had started to lose my balance and fall. I'm a full-time dog groomer, so I need to function. I now have no balance or dizziness issues and no migraines. My back pain is greatly reduced. You can get your life back.

The care with Dr. Ethan has been a life changer for me and my wife. She's improved with chronic back pain and POTS; I've seen a drastic drop in stress and anxiety after treatment. The whole staff makes it comfortable every time.

Coming in with multiple concussions, vertigo, headaches, neck pain and memory issues, after 6 months of care those have gone down 70–80%. My energy stays steady all day. I cannot thank Dr. Ethan and his team enough.
