Stop the Facial Shocks at Their Structural Source

Friends & Family Spinal Care ranks as the best chiropractor for trigeminal neuralgia in Boca Raton. Since 2008, our NUCCA doctors have corrected upper cervical misalignments that can irritate the trigeminal nerve where it exits the brainstem. Patients rate our care 4.8 stars across over 500 Google reviews.

Many patients come to us after carbamazepine reduced the electric-shock-like pain but did not stop it. Others arrive after having a root canal on a healthy tooth because the pain spread through the jaw. Dr. Justin Brown leads one of approximately 300 NUCCA-certified clinics worldwide. Before treatment, our doctors measure the atlas vertebra in three dimensions, then use those measurements to create a correction tailored to your anatomy.

Trace Your Facial Pain Back to the Atlas

Your trigeminal nerve exits the brainstem within inches of the atlas, the top vertebra of your spine. A shift in that vertebra tilts how your skull sits, tensions the tissue around the nerve root, and irritates the pathway carrying sensation across your cheek and jaw.

Our doctors measure that shift in degrees before recommending anything, then apply a calculated contact below your ear using pressure lighter than a handshake. Nothing twists or pops near a face that already hurts, and we re-measure afterward to confirm the correction held before you leave.

Compare Our Care Against Every Other Boca Raton Option

Boca Raton offers serious neurological expertise, including the Marcus Neuroscience Institute on Meadows Road, though structural measurement of the upper neck falls outside that workup. Here is how we answer the frustrations Boca Raton patients carry into our office.

Your Frustration How We Solve It How All Other Providers Handle It
My MRI came back clean and nobody could explain the pain We image your upper neck with cone beam CT and NUCCA-specific angles, then report your misalignment in degrees. They hunt for vascular compression on MRI and close the file when the scan reads normal.
The medication clouds my thinking We reduce nerve irritation structurally, so relief stops depending on a daily dose. They raise the dosage or add a nerve block once the prescription loses effect.
I cannot let anyone near my face or neck We contact one point below your ear with feather pressure and never rotate your head. They twist the neck by hand or drive a thrust that a patient mid-flare cannot tolerate.
Chiropractic already failed me once Our doctors work from your own measurements inside a protocol roughly 300 clinics worldwide hold. They repeat one general adjustment on every patient with head pain.
Relief never lasts more than a few days We re-measure your alignment every visit and show you the numbers. They ask how you feel and repeat the same adjustment each week.
I want every option explored before surgery We document structural results first, so you carry evidence into any gamma knife or decompression consult. They forward you to surgery without measuring the upper cervical spine.
My pain started after a crash on I-95 We correct the atlas displacement whiplash caused and open your file inside Florida’s 14-day PIP window. They treat the crash as old history and manage today’s symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a correction trigger an attack?

Our contact lands below your ear and never touches your face or jaw, so the correction rarely provokes a flare. Patients who arrive mid-episode usually tolerate it more comfortably than a routine dental exam.

How soon do patients notice a change?

Response varies with how long your misalignment has been present. Some patients report fewer episodes within the first weeks, while long-standing cases often need several months of stable alignment before the pattern shifts.

Can I stay on my medication during care?

Yes, and we never adjust your prescriptions. Your prescribing physician owns those decisions, and most patients revisit dosage only after attack frequency drops.

What if my diagnosis is atypical facial pain?

We still measure and correct upper cervical alignment, because constant burning facial pain travels the same nerve pathway. Your report of findings states plainly whether we see a structural factor worth correcting.

Do you coordinate with my neurologist or dentist?

We release your imaging and measurements to any provider you name. Your neurologist gains structural data no MRI captures, and your dentist learns why the pain outlived dental treatment.

How does payment work without insurance billing?

We accept HSA and FSA cards, and flexible payment plans are available for longer care schedules. Stepping outside insurance billing keeps our visit length and clinical decisions in our own hands.

You Have Been Adjusted a Hundred Times. Why Has It Never Held?

FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED A HUNDRED TIMES AND STILL HURT

Relief that lasts four days is not a correction. It is a rental. There is a structural reason your body keeps pulling back to the place that hurts, and until someone measures it, nothing changes.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Most people are aware of the pain-reducing advantages of this remarkable science. Here are other common benefits and specific conditions that we focus on at Friends & Family Spinal Care:

If You Are Reading This, You Have Probably Already Tried:

And somewhere in there, you started wondering if this is just your body now.

It is not.

Friends & Family

The Reason Relief Keeps Expiring

Things that hold have structure.

Every treatment you have tried worked on the symptom. The muscle that was tight. The joint that was stuck. The nerve that was screaming. And each one worked, right up until your body pulled back to the position it was in before you walked in.

Because the position never changed.

You have been treated by good people who never measured your structure, because measuring it takes an instrument almost no one owns and training almost no one has. Not their fault. It just means the actual question never got asked.

You cannot correct what nobody has measured. Everything else is maintenance.

Friends & Family

Your MRI Was Not Wrong. It Was Answering a Different Question.

An MRI is built to find disease. Tumors. Herniations. Ruptures. The things that need a surgeon.

When yours came back clean, it did its job perfectly. It told you that you do not have the thing it was designed to find.

But it was never built to measure how your head sits on top of your neck. By how many degrees. Or how that position interferes with the nerves running through it.

Different question. Different instruments. Different results.

What we measure

The One Thing Almost No One Measures

I am Dr. Justin Brown, founder of Atlinea.

Our doctors correct the alignment at the very top of your spine, and we do it with the specific precision required to return your body to the position it needs to be in to heal the way it was designed to.

That is the entire focus. Not a menu of services. One correction, measured and made properly.

Where This Actually Starts

It is called The Comprehensive. Sixty minutes, one on one with one of our doctors, and it runs in three parts.

01. We Listen

You talk. We listen. Your whole history, everything you have tried, what it has cost you, and what you have given up because of it. Not a five minute intake. An actual conversation about your specific problem.

02. We Learn

Then we measure what nobody has measured.

What is working. What is not. And why.

03. We Lead

You leave knowing the root cause, why this has never held, and exactly what correcting it would take. In plain language, with your own numbers in front of you.

Sixty minutes to finally get the answer that years of appointments never gave you.

This is what The Comprehensive actually looks like: a full structural exam, not a quick adjustment.

Friends & Family

If We Cannot Correct It, We Will Tell You On Day One

Here is our promise.

If our doctors do not find a structural cause that we can correct, they will tell you on day one, and we will not take you on as a patient.

No treatment plan. No package. No follow up call three days later.

You leave with the truth and a direction. Not a sales pitch.

We would rather lose the patient than sell you another rental.

What It Costs To Find Out

Before You Book

Is this just a chiropractor?

Our doctors correct one specific thing: the alignment at the top of your spine. That is a narrower and more measured discipline than general adjusting, and it starts with instruments rather than hands. If you have been adjusted before and it did not hold, this is the reason we start with a measurement instead of a table.

Because sixty minutes of a doctor’s time is real, and a free appointment is an appointment people do not show up for. The $45 reserves the slot. If you come in and decide not to move forward, you get it back.

Then we tell you on day one and we do not take you on as a patient. You leave with what we measured and a direction to take it.

That depends entirely on what we find, and anyone who quotes you a timeline before measuring you is guessing. You will get a specific answer at the end of your Comprehensive, based on your own numbers.

Possibly. If your Comprehensive points to a structural cause, imaging is the next step, and your $45 is credited toward it.
