Dr. Chad Abramson, D.C.

Dr. Abramson is the best there is. My 4 year old constantly hugs my neck and pulls it out of whack. I go to see Dr. Abramson and within 10 min I feel like nothing happened! He is such a wonderful and kind man too. He takes the time to really hear what it going on in my life and gives me complete care each time (both physical and mental). I highly recommend going to this practice! The entire office staff are the loveliest people!

I've benefited greatly from several Chiropractic techniques and adjustments. Dr. Abramson is a specialist using the upper cervical only technique (NUCCA - National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) . What is fascinating is how well this technique is able to provide benefit and relief from pain without manual adjustments up and down the spine. "The Atlas Subluxation Complex (ASC) refers to a misalignment of the atlas vertebra, which is the first cervical vertebra at the top of the spine. This misalignment can disrupt the normal flow of nerve signals and blood supply, leading to various health issues." The theory behind the technique is solid, if the main part of the spine at the base of the skull is lined up correctly the rest of the spine will follow. (The SOT method works on similar principles ). Upper Cervical only is based on the same principles as "normal" Chiropractic care, but focuses on that primary "conduit" of the nervous system at the base of the skull, allowing the body to correct itself "down stream". If you have impingement at the base of the brain stem the signals needed by the body to correct itself, or the spine, can't get there. In general, Chiropractors make adjustments to regions of the spine that affect various parts of the body, opening up those conduits, or treating what they call "sublaxations" or impingement to the nerves preventing proper signals to get through, or worse, generating "referred" pain or sensations. e.g. if your 6th cervical vertebrae is misaligned and impinged you could feel pain or itching in your forearm. When adjusted or manipulated the impingement is reduced or corrected and the pain goes away. With the upper cervical adjustments these downstream issues are often addressed by opening up necessary feedback loops and having the same net relief. (Like another technique called SOT* the benefit of the adjustment isn't instantaneous, but the results are seen over a day or so... - * "Sacro Occipital Technique, is a gentle chiropractic method that focuses on the relationship between the sacrum (base of the spine) and the occiput (base of the skull) to improve overall health and relieve pain. It uses specific adjustments and blocks to realign the body and restore function to the nervous system.") (The only SOT Chiropractor I know of retired years ago, and that's when I learned of Dr. Abramson and started seeing him, and the adjustment for Upper Cervical only take less time... ) The Upper Cervical technique does not require as many visits as other methods. It helps your spine become more stable. Recently, I've been dealing with a neck problem for some time and had been making slow progress with "traditional" chiropractic care and physical therapy for this particular neck issue, but Dr. Abramson was able to put the "finishing" touch on that treatment with this technique. The precision involved in this technique is fascinating. If you have neck problems, headaches, shoulder pain or even back pain in general and haven't tried Chiropractic care for whatever reason, I highly recommend giving this upper cervical only doctor a chance to give you relief. Especially if you have the idea that a chiropractor might hurt you, which just isn't true... THIS treatment is NOT physical, so if you are concerned, don't be with this technique or this very caring professional. We've been patients of his for a long time and enjoy his care and his sense of humor. You won't be disappointed... and you will, as he says when parting, "be healed".

As a 70 year old male with vertigo, Dr Chad has been a Godsend. I've been to a vast number of Dr's, physical therapist, chiropractors, you name it. But the process Dr Chad utilizes is incredible. I can not believe how quick and painless this adjustment is. I owe my health and sanity to this program, thank you Dr Chad for your help.

After just two visits, I’ve found significant relief from chronic migraines and vertigo. I’ve tried so many different treatments for these conditions over the past year and a half that it hardly seems possible something so simple could make such a big difference. I am deeply grateful—I finally feel like I may be experiencing true healing.

I love Dr. Abramson! I suffered with headaches, migraines, and constant tension in the muscles of my neck and skull for the past 30 years. I was very skeptical at first. I had avoided chiropractors at all costs in the past. I didn't want my neck cracked in any way, shape or form. But the NUUCA process is TOTALLY different. I'll admit, I don't completely understand exactly HOW it works, but in the end...I don't really care. He barely touches you during the entire process, which on a typical appointment is technically about 30 seconds to a minute. It took a few months, but now the headaches and migraines are minor (1-2 in the last 3 months) in comparison to 2-3 times a month! I'll take that ANY day compared to how I used to suffer. I always feel heard and cared for the moment I walk in the door. Susanne, at the front desk, is so sweet, caring, and understanding and always seems to be able to pull a rabbit out of her hat when I need to change an appointment or get in at a moment's notice. My advice to anyone who is suffering and has tried almost anything to no avail? Just make an appointment. What have you got to lose? In my case, I lost years of continued pain and being able to be a part of my own life. Now, I don't have to wonder if I will have a headache next week...it's finally at least a 98% chance I won't! And that is all thanks to Dr. Abramson!
