SPECIALIZED UPPER CERVICAL CARE IN OAKLAND & THE EAST BAY

When Migraines And Vertigo Keep Returning, Check The Top Of The Neck

A small shift where the skull meets the spine can affect balance, nerve signaling and pain patterns, and it will keep affecting them until something corrects it. Dr. Marie Biek measures that alignment, adjusts it gently, and tracks the change on imaging.

Traditional chiropractic treatment helped me only up to a point and now Dr. Marie Biek has gotten me feeling really great. The gentle manipulation of the NUCCA treatment is incredible and my body feels great. I highly recommend NUCCA and Dr. Marie Biek!

Dr. Marie is a highly skilled NUCCA chiropractor. I started seeing Dr. Marie because of hip and back pain. Traditional chiropractic can be a bit scary, especially as someone with a history of back spasms and pain. Dr. Marie is very gentle, the NUCCA technique consists of just slight pressure. My back pain resolved very quickly, within a few sessions. But when my hip pain did not, and because she is excellent at what she does and a true professional, she knew that something else was likely going on. She took an x-ray and based on what she saw recommended I get seen by an orthopedist, who confirmed severe arthritis. I highly recommend Dr. Marie and Equilibrium Spinal Care!

I have been seeing Dr Marie for about one year aftermy daughter in law discovered her and was so pleased my son with back problems used her services as well as their five year old son after a fall. All felt much better and suggested I see her for my chronic back pain. At 81 I thought I was a goner or at least need some kind of back surgery. On a scale of one to ten i was consistenlt between eight and eleven, sometimes worse. It has taken a while but I am glad to say I am between a one and four at the most. I highly reccomend her services. Appointments are gentle quick and provided in positive manner. I give her a five star rating without hesitation.

Dr. Marie has been a game changer for me. She helped me regain mobility and minimize pain when other’s couldn’t. My post-Lyme body was rigid, achy and tightened up whenever I tried to exercise and build muscle. Her holistic approach created the opportunity for my body to heal further. My pain is minimal or non-existent, and I participate in a wide range of activities without worrying about “how my body is going to feel” the next day.

Dr Marie is a wonderful chiropractor. The range of issues her adjustments have helped me with is impressive. The adjustment she does is both gentle and profound in terms of impact. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with her. I’ve worked with other chiropractors. There’s no downside to the work Dr Marie does - this is the real deal.

I am the daughter of a Chiropractor so I had many chiropractic adjustments from a very young age. Dr Marie’s adjusting technique is nothing like I encountered before and it is miraculous: after the initial adjustments when I began seeing her, I have kept my alignment! Thanks to Dr Marie, I feel stronger, more grounded and aligned than I ever. If you are considering chiropractic care yet are uncomfortable with cracking and popping, don’t hesitate for a second, call Dr Marie right away!

I came here for migraine problems and haven’t had any headaches since. Apart from Marie’s thoroughness and professional attitude, she is extremely upbeat and friendly. I would highly recommend.

Why Upper Cervical Care?

Precise

Imaging taken prior to the first correction allows us to “see” the exact position of your spine. Careful analysis reveals a precise correction formula used to restore your spine to its proper alignment.

Gentle

NUCCA is a very gentle chiropractic technique that involves absolutely no “popping” or “twisting” of the neck or back. The precision of the adjustment allows us to work smarter, not harder. You’ll be amazed at how gentle and precise the adjustment is!

Effective

By correcting the entire spine and not just the problem areas, the body is able to stay corrected for longer periods of time, allowing for better recovery.
