Makati Chiropractor — N8 Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Each method examines the atlas and axis — the first two vertebrae beneath the skull — to see whether a misalignment there could be feeding a patient’s ongoing symptoms. At the Makati branch in the middle of the financial district, the doctors match the method to what each person’s examination shows.

How to Find Our Makati City Chiropractic Office

N8 Upper Cervical Chiropractic is on the 2nd Floor of the Saville Building at 8728 Paseo de Roxas, right at the corner of Buendia Avenue (Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue) — one of the most recognizable intersections in the Makati CBD. The office is straight up from the ground-floor lobby by stairs or elevator.

From Ayala Center (Glorietta / Greenbelt)

About an 8-minute drive (roughly 1.7 km). Head northwest down Makati Avenue, continue past the Ayala Avenue intersection, then turn left onto Paseo de Roxas near the edge of Ayala Triangle Gardens. Drive straight down Paseo de Roxas toward the edge of the business district; the Saville Building is at the corner just before the main Buendia Avenue intersection.

From Makati Medical Center 

About a 13-minute drive (roughly 2.4 km). Merge onto Ayala Avenue heading southeast toward the center of the CBD, then turn left onto Paseo de Roxas. Continue straight, passing the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) and the surrounding high-rises, until the road meets Buendia Avenue. The Saville Building sits right on that corner.

Commuting 

The office sits on a major perimeter avenue of the CBD, so it’s well served by public transport. From the One Ayala terminal or MRT-3 Ayala Station, ride a Makati Loop bus or a jeepney along Ayala Avenue and alight near Paseo de Roxas, then walk toward the Buendia corner; any jeepney marked “Bel-Air” or “Washington” along Buendia Avenue drops passengers right at the Saville Building corner. From Makati Medical Center, walk out to Buendia Avenue and board any eastbound jeepney or bus (signed Bel-Air, MRT, or Guadalupe) — these pass directly in front of the building, usually under 10 minutes.

Helpful Tips for Your First Visit

• The Building: Saville Building is an established commercial building; the clinic is on the 2nd Floor, reachable by stairs or elevator from the ground lobby.
• Getting Across the Intersection: The Paseo de Roxas and Buendia corner is heavily regulated for foot traffic — if you’re walking, use the official crosswalks or nearby pedestrian underpasses, as enforcement here is strict.

Makati is the country’s primary financial center, and the people who move through it each day — professionals, residents, commuters — spend long stretches at desks, in meetings, and in traffic. Sitting at the Paseo de Roxas and Buendia corner, the clinic is easy to reach from across the CBD and the districts around it.

Why Makati City Residents Choose N8 Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Days in the Makati CBD tend to be spent seated, screen-lit, and stuck in traffic — a routine that quietly loads the neck and upper spine. Patients across Makati and the surrounding districts come to N8 Upper Cervical Chiropractic for:

• An upper cervical focus, delivered through the NUCCA and Toggle Recoil techniques
• A thorough assessment before any adjustment is made
• Light, low-force corrections rather than forceful movements
• A care plan shaped around each patient’s own structural findings
• Four doctors working as a team

Instead of treating symptoms on their own, the doctors look at whether the alignment of the upper neck may be part of the picture.

Understanding Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Makati City

All four doctors at N8 work within the upper cervical field, using two related methods: NUCCA and Toggle Recoil. Both concentrate on the atlas and axis at the very top of the spine — a small but important area tied to posture, balance, and the signaling between brain and body. By studying this region closely, the doctors can judge whether a shift in alignment is contributing to what a patient is feeling.

The NUCCA technique, which Dr. Miguel P. Flores, D.C. practices, relies on a light, sustained contact that eases the upper cervical vertebrae back toward their intended position, without any abrupt motion.

Toggle Recoil — the method used by Dr. Gabriel P. Flores, D.C., Dr. Hugo Jay D.C., and Dr. Deidre Chetty D.C.— applies a brief, precise contact at the atlas followed by a controlled release, the “recoil” the technique is named for. It is a targeted, low-force adjustment aimed at the same part of the upper neck.

Care at our Makati chiropractic clinic tends to center on:

• A close look at the upper neck before anything is adjusted
• Corrections matched to each patient’s structural findings
• Gentle methods chosen to keep unnecessary force to a minimum
• Giving the body room to settle after a correction

Since no two patients present the same way, the doctors decide between NUCCA, Toggle Recoil, or another route based on what the individual exam reveals.

Conditions Commonly Addressed

People usually come to N8 when something has started to interfere with how they feel day to day — their balance, their comfort, or how freely they can move — often a problem that has lingered despite other attempts at relief. The doctors regularly see patients dealing with:

• Migraine and recurring headaches
• Episodes of vertigo or dizziness
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Pinched nerves
• Stiffness or lingering discomfort in the neck
• Lower back discomfort linked to spinal imbalance

When alignment at the top of the neck is involved, even small changes there can affect how the rest of the body copes with stress. An initial assessment checks the upper neck for cervical subluxation and helps point to the right approach.
