The Patient (You Are the Hero of Your Recovery)When chronic spinal tension, neurological symptoms, or unanswered health struggles keep interrupting your work, sleep, and family life, it is frustrating to be told your only option is temporary symptom management.
At Hope Upper Cervical Spine Center in Southlake, we understand how exhausting it is to search for real answers when you just want to feel like yourself again.
"He who has overcome his fears will truly be free." — Aristotle.
I just came off of a two weeks vacation (staycation because I am cool like that).
During that time I spent a lot of time in reflection that pushed me to create more.
However, for the longest time I have been afraid of creating...
What if my patients don't like what I create?
What if I offend someone?
What if what I create sucks?
What if...
And you know what I learned over the break.
Everyone who creates sucked at one time.
Everyone who creates experiences fear.
Everyone who creates continues to create because they know they have something to offer the world and if they stopped creating, who would fill that void?
So, here it goes.
I am a Catholic. I believe in God and I believe in the Holy Spirit.
I experience him daily in adoration and I find that the more time I spend with Christ the better I can create for you.
With that being said, the most quoted statement in the bible is "fear not".
How many of us on a daily basis encounter fear?
I'll be the first to raise my hand!
For the entire year of 2016 till 2018, I lived in a constant state of fear.
Would my business survive?
Would we go bankrupt?
Did I pick the right profession?
How do I pay my bills?
How do I get sick people well?
What if my adjustment's don't work?
Well...I put that bullshit to rest in 2019, only to discover a different level of fear — the fear of sharing my true thoughts about health and wellness.
So, I decided to kick that in the balls in 2020.
The two commitments I made for getting rid of fear of creativity this year are

Common Patient Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the message in "Fear Not" connect to physical healing and nervous system health?
At Hope Upper Cervical Spine Center, we see every day that lasting recovery requires both structural alignment and daily personal stewardship. When your nervous system is free of upper cervical interference and your daily habits are grounded in discipline and consistency, your body has the foundation it needs to heal and thrive.
Why does consistency matter so much when restoring long-term spinal and neurological health?
Just like building mental resilience or physical strength, stabilizing ligaments and retraining chronic neurological patterns takes intentional consistency. In Upper Cervical Care, "Holding is Healing"—each week your spine holds its alignment builds cumulative momentum toward lasting relief.
How is Upper Cervical Care at Hope Southlake different from quick-fix symptom management?
Rather than chasing temporary symptom relief with medications or generalized spinal popping, Dr. Joey Kramer uses 3D imaging and paraspinal thermography to correct the root structural misalignment at the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) with zero twisting or cracking.
