Specialized Upper Cervical Training

Dr. Zach Shaw
During his undergraduate studies, Dr. Zach Shaw experienced persistent lower back pain.

It was only after turning to chiropractic care that he found relief not just for his back pain, but unexpectedly, his acid reflux as well. This profound transformation steered his journey towards understanding the human body in-depth, ultimately leading him to a specialized education in chiropractic.
While attending Sherman College of Chiropractic, Dr. Shaw encountered the specialized area of upper cervical chiropractic.

By concentrating on this area, he discovered that he could facilitate faster recovery in patients, even from diverse conditions.

Dr. Brittany Zellar
Dr. Zellar’s personal journey into chiropractic care began young – she was 14 when an old film x-ray depicted her s-shaped spine caused by scoliosis. That along with grappling with debilitating migraines spurred Dr. Zellar to delve into the world of chiropractic. She pursued her BA at the University of Alabama and her advanced degree from the esteemed Palmer College of Chiropractic. While traditional full-spine methods proved ineffective, her life was transformed by upper cervical care, which successfully alleviated her migraines. This pivotal experience cemented Dr. Zellar’s commitment to upper cervical care. She honed her expertise in a pediatric setting during her preceptorship and later under the guidance of Dr. Drury.
Today, she has established her roots in the vibrant city of Nashville, TN, where she oversees a specialized chiropractic clinic. The clinic’s niche lies in addressing the crucial upper cervical area near the brain stem. With the aid of advanced techniques like detailed X-ray assessments and thermography scans, they craft bespoke adjustments tailored to each patient’s needs. Dr. Zellar’s personal journey and steadfast belief in Upper Cervical Care drives her passion to assist every patient in their health journey with dedication and warmth.
