Still living with headaches, dizziness, or neck pain—
even with "normal" scans?

At Keystone, we focus on the upper neck-brain connection most clinics skip,
using advanced imaging and neurovisual-vestibular testing to find what others miss.

​

Most of our patients have already tried multiple providers, medications, and therapies
before finding us.

If you're experiencing any of the following,
you're in the right place:

Head & Face

Dizziness & Balance

Neck & Jaw

Headaches & migraines

Occipital neuralgia

Trigeminal-type facial pain 

Brain fog, pressure, "heavy head"

Recurring vertigo

Persistent dizziness when moving

Rocking or floaty sensations

Visual motion sensitivity

Chronic neck pain or stiffness

Radiating arm pain or tingling

Post-concussion symptoms

Jaw/TMJ pain with neck issues

... Even if your MRI, CT, or X-rays were all called "normal."

What Makes Keystone Different

Precision

Diagnostics

Your evaluation includes high-resolution Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging and detailed neurological testing. 

Keystone is one of the few clinics in North Carolina with in-office CBCT dedicated to the upper neck, giving us the clarity many standard imaging machines simply can't provide.

A Boutique, One-on-One Partnership

You work directly with your Upper Cervical Chiropractor, Dr. Cameron Bearder,
in extended, one-on-one visits.
We see a select number of patients, so your plan is
built around your history, imaging, and goalsnot a generic, high-volume protocol. 

Keystone aims for clarity, stability, and measurable improvement — not high-volume treatment.

The Keystone Process

Step 1

Complimentary Discovery Call

We begin with a focused conversation about your history, symptoms, and prior evaluations/treatments to determine whether our approach aligns with your needs. This is done by phone, so you can speak from the comfort of your own environment.

​

Result: You'll know whether your case fits what we do—and we'll tell you honestly if it doesn't.

Step 2

Advanced Diagnostic Evaluation

If we move forward, we perform detailed assessments including CBCT imaging, neuro-visual evaluations, and balance testing. This provides a clear picture of what's going on and how far-reaching the issue may be.

​

Result: You'll finally get a clear, visual explanation of what's going on in your upper neck and related systems.

Step 3

Precision Treatment with an Intensive Approach

We use gentle, instrument-based upper cervical corrections plus targeted visual, balance, and neurological therapies tailored to your unique findings.

​

Result: Treatment focuses on the actual drivers of your symptomsnot just chasing flare-ups.

Step 4

Health Independence

We monitor your progress, adjust the plan as you improve, and gradually reduce visit frequency as you stabilize.

​

Result: The goal is long-term stability and self-reliance, not ongoing dependence on in-clinic treatment.

until someone finally looked at their upper neck.
