Your initial visit
- When you come in to Upper Cervical Spine Center, you will meet with Dr. Tony for a case history and examination to determine if we can help you and if you are a good candidate for care.
- Through digital X-rays, guess work is eliminated with the goal of tailoring adjustments to each individual.
- We use computerized thermography at every office visit which results in a graph revealing any dysfunction in the nervous system.
- A specific chiropractic adjustment is delivered only when nervous system dysfunction is present as indicated by thermography.
What we promise you
- You are more than your symptoms. At UCSC, we recognize that each patient is a multidimensional human being and will treat you with the respect and consideration that you deserve.
- You will receive direct, honest communication. We will give you the information you need to make the best choice about your future care, whether you receive that care from Dr. Tony or someone else entirely.
- We will set realistic expectations. Many underlying health concerns can be resolved with proper spinal care, but we recognize that there are limitations to what upper cervical care can accomplish in isolation. We will communicate those limitations to you both at the outset and along the way of your wellness journey.
- We will use every available resource to restore health and hope to your daily life. We will not only do our utmost to bring you better health, but we will also empower you with knowledge about your condition and the principles of health and proper spinal function that will impact your day-to-day life at home and at work.

” I am a 58 year old female who has suffered from severe fibromyalgia for over 18 years which forced me to retire from my government job in 1997. Along the way I have also developed degenerative disc disease, depression, seizures, carpel tunnel, TMJ disfunction, urinary incontinence and digestive disorders such as IBS. In 2011 my lower back started hurting unbearably and my regular doctor referred me to pain management. They put me on steroids but the pain would return when the pill wore off. I was finally sent to a surgeon who requested an MRI and suggested we try shots before we talked about surgery. The shots did not help. In March 2011, when I met Dr. Giordani, I had been using a cane and a back brace. Since under Dr. Tony’s care (as I affectionately call him), I haven’t had to use either. I also cut down on my pain medications, have been able to take walks with my husband and our dogs and am enjoying my life once again. Thank you Dr. Tony for introducing me to this new world of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care. “ -Sharon (fibromyalgia)
” I was in a soccer accident that has challenged me in many ways. After many doctors and physical therapy, nothing helped. I suffered from migraines daily and could not manage to go to school and stay a whole day. My grades dropped and my daily activities were no more. I’m Caleb, 17 years old, and Dr. Tony helped me get my life back. I can now do anything and everything – I can play soccer everyday as I used to. Dr. Tony’s care has had a tremendous effect. “ -Caleb (migraines)
” I have been on an odyssey all of my adult life trying to eradicate migraines. While I’ve discovered some foods to avoid, that has not been the solution. A friend told me about Upper Cervical Chiropractic and how much it helped her. So I decided to look into it. I was amazed to see the x-ray and the misalignment of my atlas bone which I could trace back to a childhood accident. That explained my chronic neck pain and tension. Since being under Dr. Tony’s care, I am feeling neck relief, decreased headaches and am hopeful of eradicating them completely. In addition, my digestive system is working better than it has in recent years. Getting re-alignment is helping more than my head pain. Yay for Dr. Tony and Upper Cervical Spine Center! I have great hope for more energy and no head pain in the years ahead. “ –Cindy (migraines)
” I’ve spent the past few years researching and consulting various doctors and dentists about my TMJ. Most have talked me into prescription drugs that were costly and eventually proved to be ineffective. Others suggested costly medical procedures (in the range of $14,000-$40,000) that offered no real guarantee of improvement. If I’m ever asked in the future about the best treatment plan, I will recommend that they first consult with an Upper Cervical Chiropractor. I firmly believe that the procedures suggested by dentists and medical doctors are all too time consuming, costly, and sometimes irreversible. I have found that Chiropractic adjustments are essential to restoring structural balance and providing symptomatic relief. Thank you, Dr. Giordani for the improvements your treatments have made my TMJ and my life! -Charlotte (TMJ – Temporomandibular disorder)
After a 3-month program involving only a few adjustment treatments, both of these symptoms have subsided completely, and my posture is far better, it being much easier to stand up straight without forcing myself to do it. In fact my body now seems to remind me that it needs better posture, if ever I slouch. This was a very surprising and dramatic improvement which started soon after the very first adjustment. I wasn’t expecting the program to do this much good for me. I always felt good about undertaking the chiropractic program, given Dr. Giordani’s calm, professional demeanor and full explanations of the treatments – and the overall process which is to enable healing, allowing the body to grow back to a corrected status that is essentially permanent. This understanding of the gradual process made me a confident patient from the start. Dr. Giordani’s depth of knowledge, experience and training is indeed impressive. I would gladly recommend his chiropractic services to any interested person.”” -James (posture)
