What is Upper Cervical
Chiropractic?
A gentle, precise approach focused on what makes the rest of the body work right.
The Approach
Upper cervical chiropractic care is a gentle, precise approach focused on the alignment of the top two vertebrae of the spine, which play a critical role in protecting the brainstem and supporting proper nervous system function.
Why It Matters
By carefully correcting misalignments in this area, upper cervical care helps reduce interference between the brain and the body, allowing the nervous system to communicate more clearly and the body to better regulate, adapt, and heal.
Locate & Correct the Cause
Rather than treating symptoms like high blood pressure or chronic pain, upper cervical care focuses on locating and correcting the root cause — restoring the body's natural ability to heal as it was designed to.

Our Complementary
Services
Three complementary approaches to support your body's natural ability to heal.
Upper Cervical Chiropractic Adjustments
Our specialty. Upper Cervical Care is a rapidly growing form of natural health care that has helped millions of people regain and maintain optimal health.
As experts on the upper cervical spine, our doctors focus on the intimate relationship between the top two bones in the neck and a vital portion of the nervous system called the brainstem. This relationship is absolutely essential to the body's ability to restore and preserve health.
Massage Therapy
A hands-on approach to wellness that focuses on manipulating the body's soft tissues - including muscles, tendons, and connective tissue - to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and support overall physical function.
Regular massage can help relieve muscle stiffness, improve range of motion, reduce stress, support better sleep, and aid in recovery from injury.
Spinal Decompression
A gentle, non-invasive approach designed to reduce pressure on the spine and support proper spinal function. Using controlled, targeted movements, decompression therapy helps create space between the vertebrae and promotes improved circulation to the surrounding tissues.
Benefits may include reduced spinal tension, improved mobility, and support for healthier discs and joints.
Conditions Our Patients Find
Help With
Many of our patients seek upper cervical care for these chronic health concerns — though every body is unique and results vary.
Chiropractic care does not diagnose, treat, or cure disease. Every patient's results vary. A consultation with Dr. Dalliès is the best way to determine if upper cervical care is right for you.
MEET YOUR DOCTOR
Dr. Henri Dalliès, D.C.
"Since having his childhood migraines eliminated through chiropractic care, Dr. Henri has dedicated his life to helping improve people's health - without drugs or surgery."
Dr. Dalliès received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College in Marietta, Georgia in 1990. Early in his training, he recognized the critical importance of the cervical (neck) region in relation to a person's overall health.
He spent eight years working and learning under Dr. Michael U. Kale - one of the leading authorities in Upper Cervical Chiropractic care - across the Upstate of South Carolina and Western North Carolina.
In 1999, Dr. Dalliès opened The Apple Valley Clinic, which he has grown into a multi-doctor practice serving patients with conditions ranging from headaches and backaches to fibromyalgia, acid reflux, hypertension, asthma, neuropathy, ADHD, and many more.
Since 1991, Dr. Dalliès has taught the philosophy, art, and science of Knee-Chest Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic to students and doctors. He currently serves as an instructor for the KCUCS Certification series.
A native of France and proud U.S. citizen, Dr. Dalliès also volunteers his time on global mission work to deliver upper cervical care to areas where it isn't readily accessible. His travels have taken him to Eastern Europe, Central and South America, Africa, and India.
He lives in Hendersonville with his wife Roxana and their sons, Jean-Claude and Fabrice.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Patients
Say
Real stories from real patients, in their own words.
I had migraine headaches and pelvic congestion syndrome and after a few adjustments I was on a path of healing. I also had my daughter adjusted at 8 weeks old to relieve acid reflux caused by birth trauma — no meds, and I now have a healthy 13-year-old daughter! Thank you to Dr. Dalliès and staff for all that you do. God bless you all!
Dr. Dalliès keeps me in line and feeling great with his expert, painless adjustments. Several years ago I came to them with pain in my neck, shoulders, and right arm. With each adjustment my pain decreased until I can happily say I've been free of these pains for many years.
This has been a life-changing experience for me. I've lived with back pain and the fear of debilitating flare-ups with little or no warning for roughly 20 years. I'm no longer afraid to wake up.
HONEST ANSWERS
Frequently Asked
Questions
Honest answers to the questions we hear most often.
Is specific upper cervical chiropractic effective?
Yes. Specific Upper Cervical Chiropractic care is safe and effective. Over the past 20 years, many controlled and independent research studies have shown that chiropractic care is safe and effective for treating low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other conditions relating to the spine. Based on these studies, the consensus is that chiropractic care is the treatment of choice for most spinal problems.
Do many people see chiropractors?
Yes: the non-surgical, drug-free healing nature of chiropractic provides benefit to millions of people worldwide each year. Most chiropractic patients experience real relief and improved general well-being, and continue to make regular visits a part of their healthy lifestyle.
Why should I see a chiropractor?
Just as a dentist checks our teeth, an optometrist checks our eyes, and a doctor checks our blood pressure: your spine, a crucial component of your body, deserves regular checkups too. From professional athletes to homemakers, chiropractic care has helped people of all walks of life maintain peak health.
What is a chiropractic adjustment? Is it safe?
An adjustment is the main method of treatment used by your chiropractor: a specialized, controlled, and safe pressure applied to your spine to restore the proper motion and position of your vertebrae. It is a precise procedure your chiropractor has learned and perfected over years of training. Chiropractic adjustments are among the safest of all health care interventions because they are non-surgical, drug-free, and present extremely low risk.
What can I expect from my first visit?
Your chiropractor will conduct a thorough review of your specific problem, including relevant history and overall health. You'll perform physical tests and movements to help identify the issue. X-rays may be used to confirm findings. A diagnosis is made, treatment options are outlined, and a plan is communicated. Wellness, prevention, exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance may also be part of your care plan.
What results can I expect from treatment?
That depends on your condition: the length of time you've had it, your age, and the degree of your disability all affect the length of treatment. One of the main reasons people choose chiropractic is that they often get quick results. Your doctor should be able to give you an estimate of the relief you can expect and how long it should last.
How long do Doctors of Chiropractic go to school?
Today's graduating Doctors of Chiropractic have studied and trained for at least seven years post-secondary, including a minimum of 4,500 hours of intense academic study, clinical sciences, and internship training: comparable to medical or dental school.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No. Your chiropractor is a primary contact provider, just like your family physician, optometrist, or dentist. You do not need a referral from your medical doctor to schedule your visit.
