Arete Chiropractic

Arete Chiropractic is a chiropractor in Portsmouth, NH, serving the Seacoast and Portsmouth area with upper cervical care. The practice uses the Blair Chiropractic Technique to adjust the upper cervical spine, a gentle approach that does not rely on physical manipulation. Care begins with measurements taken from a 3-D image of where the skull meets the neck, so each adjustment is matched to the individual's structure and delivered with minimal force. Patients most often come in for headaches, neck pain, head and neck trauma, and postural problems, and the practice also assesses other spinal-related issues. Progress is tracked: body balance is tested at each visit, and ranges of motion, posture, and muscle tone are re-tested at re-evaluations. The stated goal is for patients to hold their spinal alignment and be seen as few times as possible after the initial phase of care. The practice holds a 4.90 rating from its reviewers.

Dr. Mychal Beebe, DC, DCCJP, is co-owner of the practice and specializes in Blair upper cervical care to stabilize the spine, with a focus on headaches and head and neck injury. She was awarded a Diplomate in Craniocervical Junction Procedures through the International Chiropractic Association in 2015, and she serves as Vice President of the Council on Upper Cervical Care and as director of research on the Board of Directors for the Blair Upper Cervical Society. In 2019 she was named Blair Chiropractor of the Year by the Blair Society, and the clinic was named Innate Clinic of the Year by the CUCC. In 2020, Arete Chiropractic was recognized as Best of the Seacoast - Chiropractic by Seacoast Media Group. Dr. Beebe co-founded the Craniocervical Foundation in 2017, a non-profit that subsidizes upper cervical chiropractic care for veterans, active duty military, and people in extreme financial need. Her stated approach to patient care centers on the connection between body, mind, nutrition, and exercise, and on working with patients who take an active role in their health.

The office is on Greenland Road in Portsmouth, about a tenth of a mile from Robert J. Lister Academy and a short distance from the Blue Star Turnpike. Pannaway Park is roughly three tenths of a mile away.
