Learn why Upper Cervical chiropractic is different than
other types of chiropractic care you’ll find in this area

What are the types of
back pain?
We at Functional Chiropractic provide chiropractic treatments for people who suffer from the two main types of back pain. Our experienced chiropractors in Huntsville, AL help patients find relief and improve spinal health through precise and personalized care:
- Upper Back Pain
The upper back is supposed to be the strongest back section which supports and stabilizes the body structure. However, it is prone to muscle or joint issue irritation due to the daily pressure it is placed under. As a result, upper or mid back pain can develop over time.
- Lower Back Pain
The lower back is susceptible to injuries to the muscles, joints, and ligaments. Lower back pain can result from the minor pressure on the spine and the force on the nerve roots which are caused by these injuries.

Asthma and
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Care for
Migraines & Headaches
Headaches are quite common among the global population. In fact, up to three-quarters of the world’s adult population ages 18 to 65 years have had headaches in the past year. Most people consider headaches as minor, commonplace issues that don’t require further treatment. This is in part because there is no specific cure for headaches and migraines. A simple aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen is often the only remedy provided. Chiropractic adjustments can help treat the root cause of headaches and migraines rather than just treating the symptoms like medications. Our expert chiropractors in Huntsville, AL helps identify spinal misalignments and provides targeted chiropractic adjustments to reduce headache and migraine pain.
