401-828-3030Welcome to DeCubellis Family Chiropractic, your trusted source for Orthospinology and Upper Cervical Chiropractic care in Coventry, RI. For over 25 years, Dr. Douglas DeCubellis has dedicated his practice to providing precise, gentle, and effective care, focusing on the critical relationship between the upper neck and the entire nervous system. If you are searching for a specialized approach to chronic conditions like migraines, vertigo, or persistent neck pain, you have found the leading expert in the Coventry and greater Rhode Island area.
We understand that you may have tried traditional chiropractic or other medical interventions without finding lasting relief. Our commitment is to offer a higher level of precision through the Orthospinology technique, supported by advanced CBCT Imaging, ensuring that your care is not based on guesswork, but on objective, measurable data. We are here to help you find the lasting health and wellness you deserve.

In the world of chiropractic, the term “Upper Cervical” refers to a group of techniques that focus exclusively on the top two vertebrae of the spine: the Atlas (C1) and the Axis (C2). These two bones are the most mobile and vulnerable in the entire spine, and their proper alignment is crucial because they house and protect the brainstem—the central switchboard for your entire body.
Orthospinology is a highly refined, low-force, and non-invasive form of Upper Cervical Care. It stands apart from general chiropractic adjustments by eliminating the twisting, cracking, or popping motions often associated with traditional adjustments. Instead, it relies on mathematical precision and advanced imaging to deliver a correction that is both gentle and profoundly effective.



At DeCubellis Family Chiropractic in Coventry, we believe that precision care requires precision diagnostics. This is why we utilize Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Imaging—a technology that sets us apart from many general chiropractic offices and is a key component of our Orthospinology practice.

The disruption of the brainstem caused by an upper cervical misalignment can lead to a surprising variety of chronic health issues. Orthospinology is not a treatment for symptoms; it is a correction of the underlying structural cause, which allows the body to heal itself.


These conditions are directly related to trauma or chronic stress on the cervical spine. Whiplash, in particular, is a common cause of upper cervical misalignment.

When you choose DeCubellis Family Chiropractic, you are choosing a level of specialized care that is rare in the Coventry, RI area. We combine decades of experience with a patient-first philosophy.

No. The Orthospinology adjustment is extremely gentle and low-force. There is no twisting, cracking, or popping. Most patients feel only a light touch or tap behind the ear.
While every patient is unique, many report immediate relief from symptoms like dizziness or severe headaches. Because the correction is so precise, the body begins to heal immediately. Long-term results depend on the chronicity of the condition and consistency with the care plan.
Yes. While we specialize in the upper neck, correcting the Atlas and Axis restores proper communication to the entire nervous system, which can positively impact conditions throughout the body, including lower back pain, sciatica, and posture issues. We also offer traditional full-spine adjustments and advanced therapies like Hill Flexion Distraction.
Orthospinology, NUCCA, and Blair are all highly effective forms of Upper Cervical Chiropractic. They share the same goal—correcting the C1/C2 misalignment—but use slightly different analytical and adjusting procedures. Orthospinology is a highly refined, instrument-assisted technique that relies heavily on precise X-ray or CBCT analysis for its adjustment calculation.
