Chiropractic maintains that the body possesses a unique innate wisdom that strives to maintain it in a state of good health. At the Alliance Chiropractic Wellness Center, our focus is on the upper cervical / upper neck region of the spine, which houses & protects the brain stem. When misaligned, this is the most serious kind of vertebral subluxation (misalignment).
Although the full spine is checked and adjusted as needed, the emphasis in our office is on the upper cervical region of the spine - the top two bones of the neck called the Atlas and the Axis. The reason for emphasizing the upper cervical spine is two-fold: One, because these bones are the most freely moving vertebrae in the spine and, thus, are most subject to misalignment.

Chiropractic's main area of interest is subluxation, a condition in which a vertebrae becomes slightly misaligned with an adjacent segment in such a way as to disturb nerve function. The objective of chiropractic is to locate, analyze, and correct subluxation. Chiropractic maintains that the body possesses a unique innate wisdom that strives to maintain it in a state of good health.
Simply put - because you deserve to have the best life possible! Chiropractic can help you perform at our best because your nerve system touches everything you do. Chiropractic is for the entire family because it makes sense to have the whole family - including children - enjoy all of these benefits.
The American Heritage Dictionary states that health is, "Optimal functioning with freedom from disease and abnormality." The two components of that definition - optimal functioning and freedom from disease and abnormality identify the two different approaches in heath care. Sick care is based upon a philosophy of health called mechanism.

Highly recommend Dr. Mazza! I've had chronic back/neck problems due to an accident when I was younger, and have a lot of different chiropractors as we moved around. Since moving to Central PA, I've been going to Dr Mazza, and as a result, have been experiencing such better chiropractic health than I have in years. I also really appreciate his simple/straightforward/extremely reasonable payment structure.

Dr. Mazza is the most gentle chiropractor I've been to. He has helped me tremendously. He explained my x-rays to me and I saw exactly where I needed help. I felt wonderful after he made a simpla adjustment of putting my C1 back where it should be. I've had less headaches and less SI joint point on a regular basis. I highly recommend him because he is just wonderful.

My Testimony
I started my journey to recovery in 2013. I pulled my back during work one night and didn't think too much of it. Come to find out a few days later I had a major back spasm at home while squatting down to get a pan from the cupboard. I was immobilized for days, unable to make the slightest move without excruciating pain and sheer agony. My sister and brother in law came over to see me and graciously pay for my initial visit with Dr. Mazza whom helped them with their own back issues. Dr. Mazza was able to help me out of the hole I dug myself in but I would gradually slip backward due
