  • I have chronic lower back and neck pain. I’ve seen orthopedic specialists, acupuncturists, take reformers Pilates etc to alleviate pain without taking medications. A friend recommended Dr. Maz years ago but I remember chiropractic therapy from eons ago and it really didn’t work. I finally went and really wish I had gone years ago. The whole idea of atlas and spine alignment makes so much sense. After the first adjustment I didn’t feel any pain and it was the oddest feeling as I had not been pain free for decades. I can’t wait for the adjustments and my alignment to hold for longer periods of time. I think everyone should be aligned and will get my husband in to see Dr. Maz.

  • I was referred to Dr. Aljutaili after suffering for almost a year with chronic cervical spine pain from a herniated disk. My treating physician told me that "my issue could never be fixed" and advised me to manage the pain. After trying multiple therapies to alleviate the discomfort, someone recommended adjusting my Atlas and referred me to Dr. Aljutaili. Within three months, my pain was gone. Following additional visits, I updated my X-rays, and my neck was completely aligned. I no longer had a herniated disk or a "military neck." Today, I continue to see Dr. Aljutaili for maintenance care to keep my neck and spine in optimum shape. I highly recommend Dr. Aljutaili. He actively listened to my concerns, explained medical concepts and his practice in an understandable manner, and conducted a comprehensive exam to understand the full picture. He tailored his treatment plan according to my lifestyle and also suggested some lifestyle habits to change to maximize results. Dr. Aljutaili and his staff are friendly and welcoming. From the beginning and until now, they have provided me with consistent and excellent care. ReplyLike

  • Dr. Maz saved my life! I blasted my back at the gym and could barely get up the stairs to leave the building. I tried getting a doctor appointment with my primary physician but that was going to take days. I went online to search for a chiropractor and found Dr. Maz right in my neighborhood. On my first appointment he performed an assessment, including x-rays, to determine the source of my pain and the next day I had my first treatment. With a couple of light taps behind my ear I felt better instantly! There is no neck "snapping" or forceful back cracking, just simple taps and then 10 min on the roller bed. I swear by his treatments and have shared his contact info with friends, family and co-workers. Highly recommend!!

FAQs

  • Upper cervical care differs from traditional chiropractic care in that it focuses specifically on the alignment and function of the uppermost vertebrae in the neck, known as the upper cervical spine. By ensuring proper alignment in this area, pressure on the brainstem is relieved, allowing the body to function optimally and heal naturally.

    This approach differs from traditional chiropractic care, physical therapy, or other medical injections, as it focuses on addressing the brainstem, which is often responsible for chronic muscle contractions in specific areas of complaint. By relieving pressure on the brainstem and ensuring its proper function, upper cervical care can provide more comprehensive and effective results compared to treatments that solely target the area of complaint.

  • Yes, upper cervical care is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced chiropractor. The adjustments used in upper cervical care are gentle and low-force, making it suitable for patients of all ages, including infants and seniors.

  • The time it takes to see results can vary depending on the individual and their specific condition. While some patients may experience immediate relief after their first adjustment, others may require multiple visits to achieve optimal results. Your chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals.

  • The frequency of visits for upper cervical care will vary based on your condition and how your body responds to treatment. Initially, more frequent visits may be necessary to address underlying issues (typically two visits per week for new patients). As your body heals and stabilizes, the frequency of visits may decrease. Your chiropractor will collaborate with you to determine the most suitable treatment schedule based on your condition and progress.

  • Yes, upper cervical care can be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as physical therapy or massage therapy, to enhance overall results. Dr. Maz will coordinate with other healthcare providers to ensure a comprehensive and integrative approach to your care.

  • If you are experiencing chronic pain, headaches, or other health issues that have not responded well to traditional treatments, upper cervical care may be a viable option for you. It is best to schedule a FREE CONSULTATION with Dr. Maz to discuss your specific condition and determine if this approach is suitable for your needs.

  • While we are out of network with most insurance providers, your insurance may still cover your visit if you submit the necessary documents yourself. We will provide you with all the required documentation to submit to your insurance. Depending on your plan, many patients are reimbursed for their services.

    The first visit includes a free consultation. If your case is suitable for upper cervical care, we will proceed with the initiation exam, which costs $250. Dr. Maz will then evaluate your X-rays and alignment.

    On the follow-up visit, Dr. Maz will review your results, discuss your recommended care plan, and provide you with your first treatment. This visit also includes a post-treatment exam to confirm improvement in your alignment. The cost for the second visit, which includes the first treatment and post-treatment exam, is $330.

    After that, you will have the option to choose from different care packages to continue your alignment work and follow the recommended care plan.
