Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care for Wellington Patients

If you live or ride in Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, Lake Worth West, Greenacres or elsewhere in western Palm Beach County, Specific Chiropractic is within easy reach. Dr. Hasson focuses on the top two bones of the neck and uses an exam and imaging to guide every decision. He uses a gentle, ultra specific, low-force adjustment. We see equestrian athletes, golfers, runners and families from the Wellington area.

How Close Are We?

Our office at 1 W Camino Real, Suite 111, Boca Raton is about 25 miles from Wellington. Most patients drive about 30 to 40 minutes, usually via Lake Worth Road or Forest Hill Boulevard to the Turnpike and I-95, or Boynton Beach Boulevard, depending on traffic. We are open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 8 AM to 7 PM, and Friday 8 AM to 2 PM, so you can often come before or after work.

What Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care?

The atlas (C1) and axis (C2) are the top two bones of the neck. They sit just below the skull, allow most of the nodding and turning of your head, and surround the area where the brainstem passes into the spinal canal. Small shifts here can change how the rest of the spine carries load. Our approach is ultra specific: Dr. Hasson measures the position of these bones and, if a correction is appropriate, uses a gentle, precise, low-force adjustment. The adjustment is ultra specific and gentle, and your response is re-checked so each step follows your findings.

Conditions We Commonly See

Patients from Wellington come to us for neck pain, headaches and migraines, vertigo and dizziness, whiplash and car accident injuries, jaw (TMJ) pain, post-concussion symptoms, low back and hip imbalance, and sports injuries. We do not promise specific results or cures. The goal of the exam is to find out whether an upper cervical misalignment is part of your picture.

Car Accident and Sports Injuries

We take car insurance for accident-related care, and athletes of every level are welcome. Collisions on State Road 7, Forest Hill Boulevard and the Turnpike are common, and horseback riding falls can also affect the neck. Florida has strict time limits for starting care after a crash, so call or text as soon as you can.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit begins with a conversation about your history, symptoms and goals. Next comes a physical and neurological exam and, when appropriate, upper cervical imaging. Dr. Hasson then explains what he found, whether care is recommended, what it involves and what it costs. If a correction is indicated it is gentle and takes only a few minutes. Bring any recent imaging or reports with you.
