Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care can activate your body’s natural ability to heal itself through gentle safe adjustments. Come and see the upper cervical difference.

How long have you been suffering needlessly?

Take the first step to find out what is really going on. Come and see if the upper cervical difference is what you have been missing.

What is the upper cervical difference? 

Although most people think that all chiropractors use the same methods to treat their patients, there is truly a wide variety of chiropractic techniques available. At Awakening Life Chiropractic, we specialize in specific upper cervical treatment. It is extremely gentle, very precise and completely painless, with absolutely no cracking, twisting or popping of the neck. Though our first focus is making sure those two top bones are where you need them to be. We know and understand that the rest of the body needs attention to.

 That is why Upper Cervical care is a highly specialized system of locating and correcting nerve interference in the spine, caused by a misalignment of the two top bones in your neck at the very base of your skull, also known as a subluxation.  Upper cervical subluxations can be caused by bad posture, birth trauma, falls, whiplash, sports traumas, concussion, and head or neck injury

Is your head on straight? 

Many people think back pain is just from everyday wear and tear. What they don’t know is that pain is most commonly caused from their head being too far forward, or tilted to one side. This happens as the body compensates when you’ve been hurt or from everyday activities that stress the body. Your head weighs as much as a bowling ball, and when it’s not on straight, that weight can cause tightness, imbalance and pain throughout your body. Neck, back and joint pain can all indicate that your head isn’t on straight.

Pain is a symptom, and it won’t resolve until you treat the cause. Let us help you get your head on straight today.

Dr.Brian changed my life. I have had major food allergies my whole life and with TBM I was able to clear basically all of them! I feel so much freedom & excitement going into 2025 knowing I can pick up a food and not have a reaction. If you’re on the fence just do it it’s the best decision I’ve ever made!
Dr. Spackman, I can't express enough how thankful I am for your diligence, love, compassion, kindness, care, dedication and passion to follow your calling in Upper Cervical Care-you are annointed by God and He has gifted you!  "A Million Hugs and Million Thanks" 🫂~~~~~My journey of neck pain, stiffness, migranes, compressed nerves, etc. began because of a bad fall / accident where I had ~whiplash~concussion and herniated discs.  I had yearly chiropractic adjustments to help me with my neck and back pains.  In Dec 2021,  I  began to get severe neck & back pain and had brain fog, loss of energy, high anxiety, blurred~distorted vision, irritability, lightheaded,  dizziness, vertigo~ balance problems, tinitus, ear fullness, headaches, congestion and head pressure. The regular Chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy began to make me feel worse. I was very scared & my world collapsed.  Since my vision was getting so bad, I went to see my eye specialist for new contacts.  I have a condition in my eyes that only medically necessary contacts can help me see.  I went to my Keratoconus specialist, and we went through 6 months of fittings and prescription adjustments with no good results to give me the clarity and focus I needed.   Finally, my doctor gave up and said I had a "Neurological Problem" and referred me to a Neurologist.   I looked at him so sadly and said I didn't have a brain problem, I needed new contacts. Please note that he is a very well-known and respected  specialist in treating Keratoconus, but I did not want to believe him. I began to believe the lie that I had no hope.  I drew closer to my relationship with Jesus and He restored my Hope through Scriptures,  through messages from different Pastors I follow, by singing daily Songs of Praises to Him and felt His love and encouragement not to give up!  I listened to His still small voice, and He gave me peace.   I did not give up and continued my search and determination to get better.  With endless searches online,  God led me to Upper Cervical Care Treatment. I began my treatment in West Orange, NJ, in Nov 2022. In my evaluation, the result showed that my head was off the Atlas C1 and Axis C2 with issues from c3 to c7 and some back problems. Once I had my first Upper Cervical Treatment, my neck pain and stiffness went away!  I knew I was on my road to recovery.  In March 2024, for various reasons, I decided to move to South Carolina, it was very hard leaving my Upper Cervical Doctor, not knowing if I would be in good hands as I was with him.  So before making a move to South Carolina. I searched in the Upper Cervical Care website as well as the Blair Chiropractic website for A Doctor that I would trust.  It is there that I found Dr. Spackman.  I took a trip to visit and went by his office as it was the first and most important decision for my move.  When I went, he was busy, I silently stood outside the door and prayed. I felt God's presence and total peace. I left, but then I went back as I had a tug in my heart to go meet and speak with him.   Once I met him and discussed his plan of treatment, I was reassured in my heart that I was going to be in good hands.Today,  I can testify that as I have been going  through his plan of treatment I am "Awakened" truly a Miracle as the name of his practice states" Awakening Life"  I have been healed of so so so many of the symptoms I had.  I think clearer, I have a better quality of life! Indeed, it's been a long, rocky, jumpy, and scary road for me as I am still on my journey towards healing, I know that through his care and determination to see results, I will get there!Grace and Peace ~ May the Lord bless the work of your hands! ❤️

I have been a big believer in chripractic care since I was a child, after it helped me with a few issues. However - I found out about Dr. Spackman for his TBM treatments to help with allergies (among other things). I was very skeptical, but I heard good things and I was willing to try anything to keep from getting rid of my cats.I did about 3 months of TBM 2 years ago and the only allergy symtom I have with my cats is itchy eyes if I touch my face after petting them. Not only that, but it got rid of my seasonal allergies.While all of that is great and good, the biggest improvement in my health was one I didn't know would be solvable.... ever. I was extremely allergic to bees. If I got stung, I knew that I would be spending the rest of the day in the emergency room and paying for the following bill for months to come. It didn't even cross my mind that this was something that could go away. During the treatment, Dr. Spackman treated this allergy and said that most likely, the next time I got stung, my reactions would be much less severe.A few months after treatment, I got stung and didn't go into anaphylaxis. I broke out in hives and had them for several days, but I was able to take a couple benadryl and avoid the ER. I meant to write my review then, because I was so grateful and amazed at the success, but life got a hold of me and I forgot.Earlier today, I stepped on a honey bee and still felt anxious, not knowing what to expect or if the effects of the TBM would last, as it's been almost 2 years since I last visited the office. This time, I had zero adverse reactions - no hives, itching, swelling, and definitely - no anaphylactic shock. It is INCREDIBLE.I am all about holistic and alternative health, but was skeptical and unsure if TBM would work, or if the results would last, but I was desperate for relief and decided to give it a try. I am finally here to write this review because I could not recommend Dr. Spackman or TBM enough.I went from a severe, life or death, allergy to bee stings - to not being allergic at all in a few short months of treatment. And - the results are permanent. I am so grateful!

Five stars just aren't enough when talking about a LIFE change. Dr. Brackman's company name "Awakening Life Chiropractic" is perfect to me because I'm getting my life back and avoiding future surgeries as well! He is so patient and really looks into what's going on with me on many levels. I had been suffering for over a year with pain in my middle back that radiated to my ribs on both sides...and hip pain...and pain in other places, including my neck. I wasn't functioning at all....like couldn't do dishes or rake the yard. Dr. Brackman has a very scientific approach (different than any other chiropractor I've seen - and I've gone to chiro for 20+ years). I have followed the plan he recommended and am feeling so much better...so much so that I tend to sometimes overdo! The first x-rays compared to x-rays after months of care are AMAZING! I'm making such great improvement that I'll continue with him. It's totally worth the INVESTMENT because I'm taking care of myself and investing in my quality of life and future health. Photo attached is my neck before & after treatment thus far and shows the increase in spacing between vertebrae. This is alleviating nerve pressure and thus pain. If you are serious about finally getting resolution to your pain, I highly recommend giving Awakening Life Chiropractic a try.

Dr. Spackman has helped me tremendously. About 6 months ago I had a tightening under my right shoulder blade. After a few days of it getting worse & spreading down my right side into my back, hip & leg - I could barely move. It hurt to lay, sit, stand or walk. If I tried to move from one position to another it hurt so badly it would take my breath. I went to see Dr. Spackman & after one adjustment, I felt relief. The pain quickly came back but after the 2nd adjustment, I felt more relief. He worked me into his schedule multiple times those first couple of weeks to make sure he saw me enough to get some relief & get my body back to a tolerable condition so that I could begin to heal. I'm happy to say that 6 months later - I am much better. I went from barely able to move to being fully functional again, able to enjoy the things I love like taking our boat to the lake, doing fun things with family/friends, enjoying our pool and more.....but also being able to do the things we take for granted like getting out of bed without pain or driving my child to school. I have recently had updated x-rays & my issues are not fully resolved but they are so much better than they were. I still have some soreness from time to time but the exercises Dr. Spackman gave me, helps so much. I'm a true believer that Dr. Spackman wants to help people & restore them to a healthier way a living. I'll forever be grateful for how much he's helped me!

They’re what I never knew I always needed! I had been experiencing back pain/sensitivity for years and never gave chiropractic care any consideration because the typical thing I heard/saw looked insane with someone’s head being thrust seemingly violently to achieve “alignment.” When I learned about Dr. Spackman’s approach with a precision tool that targets the exact locations requiring adjustment and he completely controls the amount of force exerted by the tool, I decided to give it a try. It’s been a game changer for bringing me relief from pain, in a natural, safe way. I’m sooo very glad I gave it a try and am so thankful for the compassionate team at Awakening Life!

We cannot thank Dr. Spackman enough. Our 3 month old son has had a problem where his head and feet shudder randomly throughout the day. After treatment he is doing much better! Which is a huge relief because we were really worried about our little guy.
