Portsmouth Family Chiropractic

Portsmouth Family Chiropractic offers NUCCA chiropractic care, a upper-cervical approach that focuses on correcting the alignment of the atlas vertebra in the neck. Dr. Chris Dawson and his team say the goal is to relieve pain and dysfunction by addressing what they describe as the cause rather than symptoms. They treat patients of all ages, from infants onward, and many come in after trying other treatments.

New patient visits run 70 minutes and include a history review, a chiropractic exam and x-rays, with follow-up x-rays taken at the first visit. Adjustments are gentle and do not involve twisting or cracking the neck, and most patients return for a recheck within a week. Later visits are shorter, and the practice does not bill health insurance but provides receipts patients can submit for reimbursement. The office is at 875 Greenland Road in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
