Got into a motor vehicle accident a while ago and was laid up. Experienced neck pain and slight numbness in my right hand's fingers. While traveling I was convinced to see a chiropractor. A kind of "you deserve this" kind of convincing since I was on a vacation. After a quick search I decided to give them a shot. They took X-Rays of my neck and showed me I had some nerves being messed up by my neck due to the accident. Got set up for an appointment and I got to enjoy the rest of my vacation with full feeling in my fingers and no neck pain. The service provided gave me a unique renewal on life and showed me that a small investment can truly redefine how you feel; you're worth it! Can't thank them enough! I couldn't fall asleep on the airplane on the way down, but on the way back I was able to grab some sleep! Absolutely tremendous experience, the staff is beyond accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. I'd encourage anyone to consider them, local or not. read more

SCAM! I came into Dr. Drury's office with extreme lower back pain. I was assured that this was a simple problem that could be easily resolved BUT I had to pay $450 out of pocket for X-Rays before he would touch me. Was told to return the following day after he viewed the XRays for treatment where I was told I would not be helped at all unless I committed to 24 visits and roughly $2500 out of pocket. I have never been contractually required to return to a place meant to "help". Biggest scam I have ever seen and borders on malpractice. read more

The Upper Cervical Spine Center - Here is his joke of a book with a more fitting title. - Chiropractors Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was having issues with extreme Vertigo (Meniere's Disease) with my Medical Drs. offering 2 types of surgery which neither procedure had good results. So we decide to do some more research and found out about Upper Cervical. Called and set up a appointment and within a couple corrections NO more dizziness issues. Highly recommend this place of business. Dr. Drury is great along with the staff. Dale Allman read more

The Upper Cervical Spine Center - Reception desk - Chiropractors Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First, they don't wear masks. They said they have evidence to suggest that masks don't work. They will put one on if you want them to. Secondly, they won't touch you unless you commit to 6 months worth of treatment and pay nearly $4000 up front. They are "out of network" with most insurances so you have to pay out of pocket and get reimbursed by your insurance company. They won't do pay as you go and won't do a payment plan. I walked in there in a lot of pain. I had 2 visits and spent $450 on x rays. They made me watch videos and gave me a long sales pitch before telling me they won't treat me until I pay for 6 months up front. And even then you don't get treated right away. You have to attend a patient orientation first before you get treated. It's really sad because there are a lot of people who need help. This is no way to run a healthcare facility. read more

The Upper Cervical Spine Center - Chiropractors Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I recently answer than ad in the Charlotte Observer place by upper cervical spine Center for treatment of severe pain in my lower back and pain and stiffness of my neck my condition was diagnosed to severe arthritis by x-rays and traditional medications I did not respond positively to this orthopedic treatment the pain interfered with my activities of daily living living for years I was hopeful of finding a non-invasive treatment for my painful condition the ad contain many examples of people with muscular skeletal problems such as severe sciatica fibromyalgia who who responded very positively do a few upper cervical treatments I fell for this approach especially the part about a few treatments with outstanding outcomes and it's very affordable price. My experience was this after the first appointment for x-rays and evaluation another appointment was made to explain the correct of care plan imagine my surprise i've been asked to come up with us $3546 for a moments notice. I replied that I would have to move money to accounts before I could take on such an obligation I did pay half of that amount $1773.02 weeks later I would not regret recommend this chiropractic service to anyone I think they are after your money and not really able to do what they claim to do. My name is Maggie Joseph I live in University city area and Shads Landing I can be contacted there. read more

This place is a scam, period. No masks for covid, and they scoff at it if you wear one. They claim to be able to cure pretty much anything from pain to ADHD. It's kind of hilarious, but also maddening that people like this exist. Please look elsewhere if you have back pain. read more

I've been going to upper cervical in Charlotte for about three years and have enjoyed a warm and friendly atmosphere in the office. The doctors and staff have been great. However, in the last year or so, I have been disappointed in the music played in the reception area. It used to be pretty soothing music, which added to the nice atmosphere of the place. Now it is kind of pop music. Also, in the reclining room, the resting music of waves hitting the shore is fine but a little too loud for relaxing. read more

Beware! So first I would like to say that the staff were incredibly kind. However, I paid for the consultation and spent two days and 3 hours plus 2 hours of driving time being put through a very high pressure sales pitch. First they make you watch a video, even though I politely declined, they insisted. Then when discussing care it was a whole lot of "used car" type sales promises. Being offered care credit at least 4-5 times. I was told over and over how much he cared about me. I was given a book to read that the other Chiro wrote. All of these things are sales tactics. Then when he explained I needed to actually come back the next day he insisted that my husband must attend with me (here it comes- because they want your spouse to be ready to cough up the dough too). Ok fine I understand you need to review the X-rays etc and you need to stay late to do that. And I would like to say that I believe everything this guy says about the science of it and I believe the care would be beneficial and was totally willing to move forward BUT then when I come back the next day I have to watch another video sit through more and more sales to be hit with YOU HAVE TO PAY $3,000 UPFRONT for us to give you care. UM WHAT?! I offered to pay monthly- nope. They insisted on using care credit. His "reasoning"- because they would have to open an entire office and staff just to take credit cards. That is total BS, excuse me? The entire industry can run credit cards but this costs only your business that much money- NOPE. There is no reason they couldn't run at minimum a monthly payment, so then he tells me well we don't do one foot in and one foot out. Okay man I guess I'm two feet out which is so unfortunate considering you so called care so much. And by the way after alllllll of this I walk out not even getting an adjustment after two days! If you cared about patients you wouldn't treat them in this manner. I felt like I just left some sleazy time share sales pitch or MLM grind. Total SCAM. read more

Simply stated upper cervical works ! -I know because I was a patient here 15 years ago after a horrible accident and head injury they were able to get me back on track - sometimes years and years of abuse and accidents take a toll on your neck you cannot expect things to get better with one adjustment that is why you have to go through the program it sometimes takes awhile to get your neck back to where it should but beleive me you will feel much better -all the nerves and blood to your brain are stimulated in an upper cervical adjustment and it has been proven to lower blood pressure and relax people read more

Dr. Drury is one of the best at what he does and really knows how to tell the upper cervical story. He is a nationally recognized speaker and also teaches other upper cervical doctors at seminars around the country. read more

See all

Excellent care from an Excellent Chiropractor. Dr. Drury's care is amazing. As a future Chiropractor myself and current Chiropractic student, I drive an hour every week just to be checked by him. Life is better with a clear nervous system. The power that made the body heals the body. Upper Cervical Spine Center is THE place to trust for you and your families healthcare. read more

Dr. Drury is truly passionate about supporting his patients in getting results. He takes the time to make sure you understand what he is doing and why. In less than a month of treatment, I have minimal neck and shoulder pain that prior was present for years. The work is based on getting the body to function the way it is supposed to in a precise and gentle way. His website shows testimonial after testimonial that his work is making a difference. Every time I am in his office, everyone is smiling. To me, that speaks volumes; people are truly getting well! :) I highly recommend him and his staff! read more

This place is just a malpractice! They are scam! They charge you $250 for X-Ray and then they don't even do any adjustments without you paying 3k for packages! I have never seen anything like this! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Drury for several years and he is a great doctor. He treats the cause of the ailment, not the symptom. I've watched Ray successfully help people in far worse condition than I. People who had run out of options and were just plain tired of getting another sack of pills to poorly manage their condition. I take my young children to see him. Ray preaches, teaches and evokes wellness as opposed to the typical disease management you find from most "care" providers. Sometimes it isn't about getting well, sometimes it's about staying well. read more

Not sure if it's a good or bad place... I went for my first visit cost $170. Which I didn't mind.. 2nd visit was told I had to pay 3000. Up front before any adjustment would be done.. I said no I will pay for each visit as I go. They refused.... so not some place to go unless you have 3000. Up front read more

Dr. Drury is shockingly talented and humble doctor who's name you will one day see in lights. It is a rare occasion for patients to have access to a doctor of his caliber in a clinical environment. Between travel, managing his enterprise and teaching his true passion clearly still lies in bringing healing to patients. I have upper cervical subluxation which have created both nerve and metabolic issues. After seeing several highly qualified chiropractors I had little success and made the decision to move 400 miles for the opportunity to experience Dr. Drury's care. He accepted my case gladly. Charlotte - you are lucky! No gimmicks, no pressure, and no intimidating charges. Upper Cervical Centers of America is a first-class operation. read more

I had a horrible experience here. They are into the hard sell, promising miracles, and relief of symptoms, and pressuring you to pay $3600 up front. I did not get better, in fact I got worse. The doctors couldn't decide if they should be adjusting the left side or the right, so they went back and forth.My atlas and axis were being violently adjusted from one side and then the other. Naturally, I could never hold adjustments- how could I when they kept adjusting different bones from different sides. My symptoms got worse, not better. By the time I got in to see someone to help me, my entire spine was twisted way worse than it ever had been- I was completely twisted to the right. Some days I could barely move. I am so grateful to the chiropractor that was able to fix the mess they made, and get my "head on straight". read more

I was bedridden with debilitating vertigos (due to advanced Minieres desease). After 1 year sick and 8 months of not getting out of bed and Dr telling us for years that there is nothing they can do my husband found Dr Drury after seeing some Youtube videos he came across. We made appt and travel 45 min each way. I've seen Dr Drury since that week. It wasn't overnight improvement since I was so advanced and neglected by my conventional Drs. But, I'm happy to say I've been given back quality of life I didn't have before. Yes, you pay up front for tx, insurance reimbursed so no issues there. And nothing, I mean nothing is with overnight results like most people expect! There is no magic pill, it takes commitment to see results in anything. So, It makes me happy I was able to prove my other Drs wrong and be able to not feel sick all the time, No that's not normal! Thanks to Dr Drury, living my life is what's normal now! You get what you put in in anything in life! Thx Dr Drury. read more

While I am sure Dr. Drury knows what he's doing medically, he is running a money making scam with his business. I was rushed through two appointments with videos, diagrams, charts, x-rays, bad jokes, and then the grand finale of over a $2,300 bill for 6 months of an intensely scheduled treatment. There was no regard to my schedule or financial situation. He tells the same shpiel to everyone who walks through his door (I heard a convo with a patient right after me as I was "recovering" in the preschool nap room they have). I had to sit through personal stories and anecdotes that were dry and had nothing to do with me. Don't waste your money here. You will feel like a robot and a $ sign. I told them I couldn't follow their plan and didn't hear back for over a week, when they refused to see me on my own (more reasonable terms)!! I am now seeing Dr. Knutson at Mountain Island Chiropractic and he is much more personable and just wants to help you feel better, not worse. read more

After seeing countless Doctors and specialists the past 3 yrs for a seizure and migraine disorder my sister told me I needed to try one last thing before having a surgery on brain. Feeling frustrated and not wanting to travel hundreds of miles to go to a 'chiropractor', I gave in to appease my family. Upon arrival I saw a sign that says Expect Miracles, and giggled to myself thinking 'I have been waiting on one for years, how will this be different'? First off, I have to say his staff is not only kind and extremely friendly but they are also very helpful. His office is clean and simple. I could write step by step what the whole process was but that's to much to explain. What I know is that this is NOT a normal chiropractor, he is upper cervical... VERY different!! He is extremely educated, and answers all of your questions. Even after talking to him I still thought this makes complete sense, yet didn't know if it would work for me! This has ruled my lfe for 3yrs! Ok, ok, I'm trying to get to my point!! There is so much I could write about Dr.Drury being a man of integrity or faith and purpose but instead I guess I will just end with this... I have been seizure and headache free for the entire time I started going to him. This has not happened in 3yrs!! The months prior to seeing him so was having 2-4 seizures a week and everyday migraines!! IThis works, it absolutely works. It's the hidden secret of healthcare in my opinion and more people should be trying things like this than pretty medicine over and over in your body. I highly recommend trying this for any health issues you may be having. Call his staff and talk to them, that's the place to start!! And don't forget to Expect Miracles!!! read more

The cost is so much and they are not even good at doing there job it also hurts a lot and seems like they know nothing

We have really appreciated Dr. Drury and staff as we have worked thru multiple health issues: kidney, blood pressure, scoliosis, headaches that have resolved very well. Many speak of the cost~ we'd rather pay $$ for true health CARE, than co pays and meds and surgeries and feeling badly all the while! Well worth it at Upper Cervical!! read more

Was expecting a quick adjustment but instead this place appears to be a long, drawn out process that will cost $$$. I started to get uneasy when I was shown a video and a book from the doctor. I'm sure they get results but I'm looking for a greasy Chinese buffet and these guys are PF Changs. read more

I have never been to a doctor more caring or more invested in my life than the doctors at the UCSC. Everyone who works there is pleasant to be around and medically, I have received more answers and help than I ever have before. After dealing with leftover symptoms from Lyme disease, this office and treatment were just what I needed to recover. I will never stop going! read more

SCAM!!! I was so excited when my MD sent me to a place that might be able to help me with my headaches finally!!!! But, when I arrived I had a funny feeling. Before seeing the doctor I was placed in a room to watch a video, then talked with the doctor for a bit before he took some x-rays. All the while he was talking about a calling from God to help care for people and being able to help people become free from pain, and so on. This gave me hope! After the x-rays he gave me a book, asked me to read the first 4 chapters and come back tomorrow - no treatment or adjustment today, then he gave me a bill for $270! When I returned I was told he could help me with 36 treatments as long as I paid $2100 + IN ADVANCE before I even received a single treatment. I said, "like you expect me to buy a car without test driving it? How do I even know this will work"? He said, "Oh, so this is how this is going to be", and walked out of the room. QUACK QUACK QUACK I was so disappointed - I entered in pain and left in pain and $270 poorer. It is such a shame that these people tell such lies and give hope to people in need just to get their money. read more

I called them after reading a full page ad in the paper. This Dr. was so personable and the office staff exceptional. I had a consultation and x -rays and return appt. the next day. I was so excited to begin treatment for a neck problem. I saw the x-rays and was told they could help me. All good, right? Until the Dr. turns into a"used car salesman" and presents me with a treatment plan and an upfront cost of $2711. I was in shock. I have been in the healthcare field for many years and never experienced anyone asking for payment upfront. What if it doesn't work, what if I break my arm and can't get there or worse yet contact Covid. Well, you are out of luck, because they have your money. So deeply disappointed. I was already planning how I was going to work the appointments into my schedule. I have had chiropractic care before and I know they usually start you out at a few days a week. There is no choice, pay up or you are out. They may actually give good chiropractic care, but when money is the primary factor, it isn't a good start to a Dr. -patient relationship.This isn't about patient care, it is only about patient cash. read more

I have been getting adjustments from Dr. Drury for over 15 years and the results are incredible. His chiropractic services have reduced the frequency and severity of my migraines. I'm also very active and put a lot of stress on my body. Upper cervical adjustments alleviate my back pain, speed up my recovery and helps relieve muscle tension. I highly recommend giving Upper Cervical a try as a natural option to improve and maintain your health. read more

PATIENT BEWARE! Hold on to your wallet! When I called to make the appointment I asked the receptionist how much a consultation was. She asked if I had insurance. I said no I'm private pay. She said it was free. I asked her how much the adjustments were because I was worried about the price. She said "Oh don't worry we will work with you especially since you don't have insurance. We are here to help you." Well, after that comment I made my first appointment. At my first appointment I had extreme pain in my neck (my c3 pops out a lot causing severe headaches and pain into my left shoulder and back.) I was examined and told I would need to pay $200 now for X-rays and then he would develop an "action plan" just for me. If they know you need X-rays then they should have told me on the first phone call - right? He wanted his own also, not from another doctor. My medical doctor just took X-rays of the same area from complains of pain. He spent a total of 5 minutes with me and talked so fast I could barely understand him. He was in a big hurry. I just thought he was behind that day. 2nd visit - He did an adjustment on this visit, which is just pop the top 2 (c1-c2) in and said the rest would align itself over time. He was very rushed on this visit also. I spent maybe 5 minutes with him. I asked him then how much this would cost that I didn't have insurance. He said don't worry, when you come the next visit (scheduled 2 days later) I will give you my "action plan" for you. 3rd visit and last - He again was in a really big hurry - spent 5 mins with me and then had his receptionist come in and give me his "action plan". That plan was 24 visits - 3 visits a week for 4 weeks, 2 visits a week for 4 weeks and 1 visit week for 4 weeks. Total weeks (12) Cost $1640+$200 X-rays - total 12 week plan $1840.00! They wanted me to pay right then - upfront for the (12) week plan. The "plan" stated that if I came and didn't need an adjustment then of course he wouldn't give me one but yet I paid for it already, no refunds. Why not say, "you look fine today, no adjustment needed - then that cost roll over to another adjustment. That is what you would expect but NO not here - you pay upfront and if you don't use it you lose it. I told the reception I certainly could not afford to pay them $1640 for a service that was less than 50% going to work. She then charged be $120 for the (2) adjustments done. A total to his guy of $320 for x-rays I already had and 2 adjustments. Which we all know it takes more than that to fix a problem. Now does that sound like a fair deal to you? What a rip off - this guy is preying on innocent victims in desperate need of relieving pain. Who pays a Chiropractor $1840 upfront for services that last only 12 weeks and you get adjustments only when you need it - but already paid for it? Who can afford to get off of work all of those times? Why not just charge as the patient comes? What more proof does anyone need this guy is a TOTAL RIP OFF. How sick he must be to prey on innocent hurting people. He should have his license revoked. There are really good Chiropractors out there and guys like this make them all look bad. read more

first visit and follow up was totally free, which included x-rays and consultation. you can stop by and listen to a class for about an hour and you will be blown away. I have been going for about two years now and I my body feels awesome and I am no longer on pain meds. read more

A very efficient and friendly office staff AND experience! Dr. Drury's patient introduction provides easy-to-understand information in a comfortable setting. Even though he only sees patients 3 times a week, his opened times work well with most schedules. It is obvious that the patient is the main focus at this practice based on the way the staff takes care of them and in how willing Dr. Drury is to answer questions and provide knowledge that most other chiropractic businesses do not. read more

Be 100% sure you want to invest into this doctor and his treatment. After my consultation, Dr Drury informed me of what he said was the problem, the plan of action and the treatment to cure me of this terrible pain. After the initial treatment period, I wasn't feeling any relief and informed him of this. He asked I continue to make the 30 minute commute, three times a week and continue having adjustments. Nearing the end of my treatments I still had no relief and upon informing him at every session, he finally gave up on what he said would cure me, and now wanted to go a different route with treatments that were both radical, and somewhat unproven, only performing them a few times. Having already invested valuable time and money, I couldn't justify paying him again with my time and money to continue doing nothing to help me. When you go to someone with a problem, and they tell you they can fix it and then can't, you should NOT have to pay for services that did not fix what was promised. Now I'm thousands in debt, paying for something that did nothing for me. Worst decision I've ever made. read more

I believe in Upper Cervical and the treatment they offer. But the doctor needs to know what he is doing. I went to ses Dr. Drury after a car accident. I don't think he is the best at what he does. He is a good speaker but when it comes to fixing the alignment in your neck I would not recommend him. I went to see him for about 2 months and there was no improvement. When I started the treatment I took my parents for treatment as well. There was no improvement for them either. I paid for all the sessions in advance and when I decided not to go anymore because I didn't see any improvement, I couldn't get my money back for the rest of the sessions. It was a waste of money for me and my parents. Next time I need Upper Cervical I'll go to see a different doctor. My sister and her kids went to a different doctor and he did wonders for them. Unfortunately this doctor moved from the Charlotte area and when I needed treatment I went to see Dr. Drury. because he was the closest one. Next time I will drive 30 minutes or whatever it takes to see a different doctor. So, No I woudn't recommend Dr. Drury. read more
