Upper Cervical Chiropractor
Meet Dr. Michael DiNunzio
Dr. Michael DiNunzio is proud to serve the Asheville community, a place he has felt connected to since childhood through summers spent in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
After earning his degree in Anthropology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, Dr. DiNunzio became interested in why modern medicine is so effective at treating disease, yet often limited in preventing it. That question led him to explore more holistic approaches to health.
Dr. DiNunzio attended Sherman College of Chiropractic, where he focused on advanced chiropractic techniques, nervous system function, and approaches designed to reduce stress around the brainstem and upper cervical spine.

Dr DiNunzio is a wizard. He's very knowledgeable, and effective. I've been there several times for different issues. He blends modern technology with an all around approach to care. I've seen a lot of chiropractors, Western Carolina Chiropractic is different, and by far the best.

Understanding Starts with Answers
Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on the top two bones of the spine—the atlas and axis—which protect the brainstem and influence the entire nervous system. By gently correcting misalignments in this area, we help restore balance, improve function, and support the body’s natural healing process.
At NeckWise, we don’t use forceful twisting or cracking. Our doctors use state-of-the-art imaging and precise, customized techniques to deliver gentle, targeted corrections that get to the root of your symptoms—without guesswork or general adjustments.
Not at all. NeckWise uses light, controlled adjustments that are gentle and highly specific. Many patients are surprised at how subtle the adjustment feels and how powerful the results are.
Healing is different for everyone. Some patients feel immediate improvement, while others notice gradual changes over time. Our goal is not just short-term relief, but long-term results—guided by regular assessments and a care plan designed just for you.
Our focus is on the upper cervical spine because of its critical role in overall alignment and neurological function. By correcting this key area, the rest of the spine and body often realigns naturally—without the need for multiple full-spine adjustments.
Yes. Upper cervical care is extremely gentle and safe for patients of all ages, including infants, seniors, and those with complex health concerns. Each adjustment is carefully tailored to the individual, with your safety and comfort as top priorities.
