What makes Dr. O different from other chiropractors in Jacksonville and Mandarin?

Dr. O specializes in upper cervical chiropractic, a precise and gentle approach that focuses on correcting misalignments at the top of the spine. Unlike traditional chiropractic methods that adjust the whole spine using more force, her technique is targeted, measurement based, and designed to restore proper nervous system function with very little pressure. This makes her a preferred chiropractor for people in Jacksonville, San Jose, and Mandarin who want effective results without aggressive twisting or cracking.

​

Does Dr. O only treat upper cervical issues or does she help with whole-body conditions?

Although her specialty is the craniocervical junction, her care impacts the entire body. The upper cervical spine influences balance, posture, muscle tone, ear function, sinus drainage, neurological pathways, and chronic pain patterns. Many of her patients come in for migraines, vertigo, low back pain, neck pain, neuropathies, ear infections, and chronic tension. When the nervous system is functioning properly, whole body healing becomes possible.

​

Is upper cervical chiropractic safe for seniors or people with osteoporosis?

Yes. Dr. O's technique is one of the most gentle chiropractic approaches available. There is no twisting of the neck and no high force adjustments. Because of this, many seniors, post surgical patients, and individuals with osteoporosis feel safer and more comfortable receiving care at San Jose Chiropractic. Her focus on precision makes it ideal for people who require a lighter touch.

​

Can Dr. O help if I have tried other chiropractors or physical therapy without results?

Many of Dr. O’s patients sought help elsewhere before finding relief in her office. Because upper cervical care targets the root cause of neurological dysfunction rather than only managing symptoms, people often see improvements they were not able to achieve through traditional chiropractic or therapy. Her care is especially helpful for chronic pain sufferers and those with long standing issues that have not responded to other treatments.

​

How does Dr. O determine whether an upper cervical misalignment is affecting my health?

Dr. O uses highly specific evaluations that focus on the top portion of the spine. This includes precise imaging, detailed neurological assessments, posture analysis, and functional movement testing. Her advanced training in Orthospinology and Cone Beam CT imaging allows her to evaluate the craniocervical junction with exceptional accuracy. This ensures that every adjustment is customized to the patient’s unique anatomy.

​

Is Dr. O a good fit for moms, working professionals, and people with busy schedules?

Yes. Dr. O has built her practice around caring for women and moms who often juggle demanding schedules and responsibilities. She understands the frustration of not having time to be in pain or constantly running to appointments. Her approach focuses on getting patients better with fewer visits by using gentle adjustments that create long lasting results. Many working professionals in Mandarin, San Jose, and Jacksonville choose her for this reason.

​

Do you help with migraines, vertigo, and other neurological conditions?

Neurological conditions are some of the most common reasons people in Jacksonville seek out Dr. O. Upper cervical misalignments can disrupt normal brainstem and vestibular function, often contributing to migraines, vertigo, dizziness, tinnitus, neuropathies, and Meniere’s disease. By restoring proper alignment at the top of the spine, many patients experience improvements in the frequency and intensity of their symptoms.

​

Can chiropractic help with recurring ear infections or sinus problems like the ones Dr. O experienced?

Yes. When the upper cervical spine is out of alignment, it can disrupt the drainage of the Eustachian tubes and sinus passages. This can create fluid buildup that leads to chronic ear infections, pressure, and congestion. Dr. O’s personal story is an example of how restoring proper alignment can improve drainage and reduce recurring infections. Many children and adults visit her for these specific issues.

​

Is San Jose Chiropractic convenient for people coming from Mandarin, San Jose, or other parts of Jacksonville?

Yes. The office is located in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville and is easily accessible from San Jose, Fruit Cove, Loretto, and surrounding neighborhoods. Many patients drive from across Jacksonville because Dr. O offers a very specific technique that is not widely available in the area.

​

How long does it take to see results with upper cervical chiropractic?

Many patients notice changes within a few visits, especially when their symptoms are directly related to the craniocervical junction. However, results vary based on the severity of the misalignment, how long the issue has been present, and lifestyle habits. Dr. O’s goal is always to help patients stabilize as quickly as possible so they can maintain their progress with fewer visits.

​

Is the care gentle enough for kids and teenagers?

Yes. Dr. O’s gentle approach makes her a great choice for children and teens dealing with ear infections, sinus issues, poor posture, headaches, sports injuries, and nervous system tension. Because she uses no twisting or popping, kids often feel very comfortable during their adjustments.

​

Do I need a referral to see Dr. O?

No referral is required. Patients can schedule directly with the office. Many people in Mandarin and Jacksonville choose San Jose Chiropractic because they want a doctor who provides individualized care instead of a high volume, quick visit style of chiropractic.
