I truly don’t know how to adequately express what Refuge Upper Cervical has done for me. Saying they changed my life doesn’t feel like an exaggeration—it is simply the truth of my experience.For more than 20 years, I lived with chronic illness and spent thousands upon thousands of dollars seeing specialists throughout the state, trying to find answers and some way to feel better. I have several complicated health issues, and for years, at least two weeks out of every month I would feel miserable. At least one of those weeks would often be spent almost completely in bed, unable to function normally.Then this year, things became dramatically worse when I developed vestibular neuritis. I was completely debilitated. Simple things like cooking dinner for my family and doing the dishes could take me hours. We seriously began discussing whether I needed to apply for disability because I could no longer imagine being able to live a normal, productive life.There was even one particularly dark week when I felt so hopeless and physically miserable that I contemplated ending my life. That is how low I had gotten and how completely illness had taken over my life.Then I stumbled across a video on Instagram discussing upper cervical care and symptoms that sounded remarkably similar to some of what I was experiencing. That led me to Refuge Upper Cervical. As a person of faith, I genuinely believe God led me there at exactly the time I needed them.From my very first visit, I felt that I had finally found people who were truly listening to me. They gave me answers. They gave me hope. And most importantly, they treated me like a human being—not a number, not a diagnosis, and not just another patient walking through the door. The care I have received has been incredibly professional, compassionate, friendly, and genuinely loving.I began noticing positive changes very early in my care, and over time, the difference in my quality of life has been extraordinary.Today, instead of being the person who thought her life was essentially over and was considering disability, I have been able to start my own business from home. I am living again.Do I still have days when I don’t feel well? Absolutely. I still have health conditions and things that are outside of my control. But the difference is enormous. Instead of reaching a level 10 where I am crying in bed, unable to function and wishing desperately for a different life, a bad day now is often simply a day when I don’t feel very good—and I can still get up, do the things I need to do, and often the things I want to do.That may sound like a small distinction to someone who has never lived with debilitating chronic illness. To me, it is everything.I had no idea how much the issues they identified in my neck could potentially be contributing to what I was experiencing. The changes I have personally experienced since beginning care at Refuge have felt nothing short of miraculous.I only wish I had found them sooner.If you are struggling and wondering whether upper cervical care might be worth exploring, I would absolutely encourage you to make an appointment and learn more. I can’t promise anyone else will have the same experience I have had, but I can say without hesitation that going through their doors changed the course of my life.I will forever be grateful to the entire team at Refuge Upper Cervical for giving me something I had nearly lost completely: hope—and the ability to live my life again. ❤️

They have helped me so much! I believe I had pots, I can’t get into a doctor for two years to get it diagnosed, but I had all the symptoms. But now my headaches are gone, energy is up and my brain fog has decreased. I do not have any information, and I feel better than I have in six years. I can’t thank them enough! They are so kind and helpful.

2026-05-19T15:59:43.285Z

Dr. LoPorto and Dr. Lane are the kindest doctors I’ve ever met! They were incredibly kind and compassionate to my situation. Most visits I was moved to tears by their genuine kindness and concern for my wellbeing. I have POTS and have a misalignment in my neck. When I first came to them I was incredibly unstable and unable to hardly walk due to lightheadedness. Now a month later I am getting stronger and can feel the improvement of blood flow to my brain. I feel stronger while walking and have been able to walk for longer periods of time each week. It’s slow work but good work! I was on the fence about getting chiropractic care because I’ve never actually received it before but this has truly been helpful in my recovery and I would absolutely recommend them to anybody.

2026-03-18T17:20:02.361Z

I highly recommend Refuge Upper Cervical Chiropractic for anyone seeking a proactive approach to health. Drs. Lane and LoPorto are clearly lifelong students of their craft, and it shows. They don't just rely on 'how things have always been done'—they are constantly refining their techniques through ongoing education to ensure their patients get the best outcomes. It’s a level of professionalism and dedication that is hard to find.

2026-03-10T21:15:04.232Z

I was experiencing headaches and migraines frequently and then later found out about some other ear and neck issues. Since getting consistent care here I have noticed an improvement in my symptoms and quality of life.

2026-03-03T05:11:01.303Z

If you suffer from neck pain and /or migraines you need to check out Refuge Upper Cervical Chiropractic. I have suffered with neck pain and chronic migraines for decades and after one month my pain has decreased significantly. I’m also having fewer migraine episodes. I wish I would have found them sooner. Sharing now so others make an appointment and go. I can’t wait to share their information with my neurologist.

2026-02-16T20:22:32.710Z

I've never been happier with my outcome from anywhere else.I started coming in 1 month ago, with 3-4 migraines a week 😫 Having the worst pain and taking days off work because I couldn't stand getting out of bed.I know now get 1 migraine every 3 weeks and they aren't nearly as bad as they used to be. Dr.Lane has seriously helped me look at brighter days. He also has been the only doc that can answer my question. I never walk away with question.Dr. Lane is amazing and I've never been more grateful 🙏🏼

2025-12-05T17:41:12.830Z

I have been dealing with debilitating neck and throat pain for close to a year now. I have seencountless doctors and specialists only to be told I am fine and nothing is wrong. In the few weeks I have seen Dr. Lane, I am almost back to 100% normal! He has been patient, taking time to listen to my concerns and has been gentle and honest with my care. If you are experiencing any pain in your head or neck, this is where you need to go! He is the absolute best of the best!

2025-12-03T03:55:59.699Z

I’ve had neck pain and cervical headaches for going on 2 years now but 6 months ago it became unbearable to the point I couldn’t work anymore. After a month of weekly appointments I'm doing better than I have in such a long time and I’m finally able to enjoy my life without being in pain constantly. Im very grateful that I found Refuge Upper Cervical Chiropractic and I would highly recommend coming here to anyone experiencing similar pain. (:

2025-11-13T20:02:40.872Z

I can wholeheartedly recommend 10/10! I am so impressed with how much care, time, and attention to detail Dr. Jacob Lane gave me during my initial evaluation and how quickly and successfully he adjusts me after that. The 3D imaging is fascinating and this clinic employs a very holistic mindset, looking at all angles of health to help treat underlying causes. He gave me more care and than most doctors of any discipline! And he is very knowledgeable in his craft and in how the body functions. In one visit, I was already feeling better! As someone who has seen various chiropractors over the years, I couldn’t recommend more highly!

2025-10-23T21:07:51.710Z

I want to start off by saying Dr. Jacob and Dr. Kylie are amazing! I have been seeing Dr. Jacob since June and have seen and noticed improvement not only physically but mentally as well. They both are extremely dedicated to finding ways to help you personally and get you back to what you love to do. I have been struggling with my neck for years which caused vertigo, migraines/headaches, passing out, poor blood circulation, etc. I have seen significant improvement within these past 4 months and a lot of my symptoms have lessened. Lastly, they go above and beyond for their patients and they don’t make you feel like it’s all in your head. They are amazing doctors and amazing humans! I can recommend them enough!

2025-10-15T04:52:12.919Z

These guys are great and helped both me and my wife. My wife had to try 3 different chiropractors before finally coming here and they helped her in less visits than the rest. I had less visits but still had some good improvement and will come back here if I get the chance.

2025-10-14T18:02:32.521Z

I have to start by saying how amazing and caring Dr. Kylie and Dr. Lane are. I started seeing them for some TMJ issues that turned into horrible neck pain and the worst headaches. My healing journey was slow and steady with set backs along the way. But they never gave up on me. We eventually were able to manage my symptoms and move past the constant pain. What I loved most is that they provided a holistic approach to my recovery and looked beyond the physical issues I was experiencing. I have truly felt like they genuinely care for me and my well being. I highly recommend these wonderful humans to guide you on your healing journey.

2025-10-13T23:04:13.305Z

I have been going here for nearly a year. They are very kind and knowledgeable and are always happy to answer my question and concerns.

2025-10-13T22:57:14.453Z

My symptoms started back in 2014 and I tried every avenue possible from physical therapy to chiropractic and even went down a Lyme disease path for years. The dizziness from the dysautonomia or POTS, which was diagnosed in 2016, was miserable most days. I never knew how I’d feel waking up or if it would hit just hours afterwords. It’s difficult when you can’t depend on your own body to do the basics of being a mom. During the summer I came across a TikTok from Dr. Lane and discovered I’m within driving distance from Refuge Chiropractic. I began treatment July 31st of 2025 and have seen amazing progress already! The headaches and dizziness have decreased significantly. I would highly recommend Refuge Chiropractic for anyone struggling with dysautonomia.

2025-10-13T22:53:22.928Z

Refuge has been great for relieving chronic pain in my neck with a straightforward. They are very responsive and easy to schedule a visit with. Thanks for making life less of a pain in the neck on all fronts!!!

2025-09-18T15:51:58.261Z

Dr. LoPorto and Dr. Lane have helped me with my lower back pain. When I started having babies my lower back pain started. I have had it for almost 5 years. Constantly locking up when I would lay flat on my back and it would be difficult for me to get up. My range of motion was very limited and I couldn’t walk for long periods of time. After being treated by Dr. LoPorto and Dr. Lane, my lower back pain is basically gone. I have not locked up in months and I have actually started working out several days a week doing weight training and conditioning. I will forever be grateful to Dr. LoPorto and Dr. Lane for all of their help and for helping me at the root of my pain. Highly recommend and will continue to go back to them for my husband and kids and for maintenance for me!

One day I woke up and immediately hit my wall. There was no rhyme or reason but I had severe vertigo. I visited the ER, ENT, and went to balance specialists hoping for an answer when I came across Refuge Upper Cervical Chiropractic online. I was very excited to have my initial consultation and hear that they could help me! Every visit I truly feel heard and seen about the problems I’m facing and that’s a rarity now days. I am so grateful for the work they’ve done on my neck and for the progress I’ve made. I feel significantly better and hope to just keep that trajectory! I highly recommend coming here if you have neck problems, dizziness, vertigo…you’ll be glad you did. My symptoms continue to lessen and I’ve never been more grateful!

2025-08-11T17:15:05.653Z

Dr. Lane has been so helpful in my health journey! I had experienced anxiety and an array of health symptoms that I never got complete clarity on until I started seeing Dr. Lane. Between having a concussion and recent POTS diagnosis I was overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate the health symptoms and issues I was experiencing daily. Dr. Lane found out that I had a head tilt that was throwing off my vestibular function, and with the adjustments that we’ve been doing my symptoms have drastically improved, and I feel more balanced overall. He also has great doctor recommendations and really takes the time to listen to all concerns. He truthfully cares about his patients and is one of the best here in Utah!

2025-08-07T21:52:32.869Z

These are the first chiropractors I have been to who provide whole-body care, treatment and guidance. I'm beyond grateful for them, and I am seeing improvement after just a few visits.

2025-07-22T20:24:24.682Z

Was having some pain and abnormal popping when I turned my head any direction. Dr Lane helped me get my neck back into a better alignment for the pain and popping to stop.

2025-07-08T14:31:14.275Z

I truly cannot rave enough about Dr. LoPorto and Dr. Lane. I have dealt with migraines for a good portion of my life.. having seen neurologists, massage therapists, standard chiropractic care, bloodwork.. etc with no answers.I came across Refuge Upper Cervical and felt pulled towards giving them a chance and I am beyond grateful I did. They have been an answered prayer for me in more than one way. Since being under their care, I have got my quality of life back. I have been able to function day to day in a way I haven’t been able to in years.Their quality of care is top tier. They provide personalized one on one care per each patient and truly believe in getting your body aligned back to long term functionality. If you’re on the fence wondering if they can help you, this is your sign to book the appointment and allow them to also help change your life… I know I’m glad I did.

I have MCTD, POTS, and Fibromyalgia. I have seen so many doctors, tried so many diets, attempted some pretty weird remedies, and taken so many different pills that it makes my head spin! I've spent the last 10 years in chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, headaches, dysautonomia, dizziness, and stuck in bed thinking that my body was just broken and that I needed to come to terms with that.I've been to several general chiropractors, and while those adjustments gave me a few hours of relief, nothing ever lasted. That all changed when I started seeing Dr. Jacob Lane. I'm only three sessions in, and I already feel like a completely different person.He is clearly passionate about his work and stands behind his work. He's willing to answer all my questions including, "Why does this work better than anything else I've ever tried over the past decade?!". After each adjustment, my body responds in the most profound way—full body chills, deep yawns, and an overwhelming calm that usually sends me straight into a nap. It’s like my nervous system finally knows how to exhale.The results have been undeniable. I can function better throughout the day, I'm getting more work done, and most importantly, I’m able to take better care of myself because I feel better. For the first time in a long time, I’m not constantly chasing temporary relief. Instead, I feel supported, aligned, and more connected to my body.If you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to last, this is the place. I cannot recommend Dr. Lane and Dr. LoPorto enough. They're giving me my life back, one adjustment at a time. ❤️

2025-06-24T14:17:45.736Z

Dr. LoPorto is amazing. She is very attentive and remembers details. She went out of her way to resolve my complex situation, always making recommendations for me to look into. Last week she told me about another practitioner who deals with more involved cases. She is always upbeat and personable. And of course my neck, head and back feel so much better. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

2025-05-23T15:59:04.269Z

10/10!! I’ve struggled with Ehlers-Danlos since I was 5 years old and I tried numerous locations in Salt Lake and Refuge Upper Cervical was the best by far. Kylie and Jacob truly care about your well being and finding the best treatment without asking for thousands of dollars. I highly recommend them!

2025-05-14T17:52:41.985Z

I have suffered from tension and migraine headaches and chronic neck pain for most of my adult life. I routinely took Nurtec, ibuprofen, Tylenol, and muscle relaxers, along with countless visits to Dr’s and chiropractors to deal with the constant pain. The Dr’s at Refuge don’t just treat everyone for the sake of making money. They believe in what they do (so do I), they are thorough, and detailed and want to know as many aspects of your life and concerns so they can tailor a treatment plan to you. They use advanced technology to help you and them, visualize what is going on with you. They take into account EVERYTHING that could be contributing to your condition. They are very sensible in their approach to treatment and understand that people will be people and not have you on some crazy restrictive treatment. I’ve been fortunate to be able to have 3 adjustments so far. The first week I noticed I didn’t have to take migraine medicine or headache medicine, the second week the same and my neck pain was lessening, third week still no meds and no pain. I can move my once restricted neck both directions equally without binding or pain.This is my story, but the Dr’s at Refuge can help so many more issues. If you dealing with pain, do yourself a favor and get a consultation with them.I’m not paid for my review nor do I receive any discounts, I just believe in this treatment and would highly recommend it to anyone suffering from pain.

2025-04-28T17:52:01.273Z

I been going to Refuge Upper Cervical Chiropractor, seance they open for business. The main cause issue that I have is my lower back. To the extent that is painful to walk, stand, sit even do evry day movements. For me the adjustments help were I'm able to move comfortably. Deepening on the damage I made on my back, relief of pain is immediately. It may take a couple of more adjustments to be where I could run. The work that Dr. Jacob has done for my back it has been incredibly amazing 👏.

2025-04-12T15:23:50.798Z

When I first started having issues with my Ménière’s Disease I looked up board certified upper cervical chiropractors near me and found Dr. Kylie LoPorto. From the first initial phone call I knew I was in the correct place. I live 3 hours away so they wanted to make sure they could help me before I made the trip. I felt like a v.i.p. Customer from that first phone call and it’s continued since. After my sessions I no longer am suffering from my symptoms. I’ve had no vertigo or dizziness and even my migraines I’ve had for years have gone. I have so much more energy and no more brain fog. My husband was so impressed he decided to start therapy as well and he had also already seen dramatic improvement.

2025-04-09T19:58:25.069Z

I’ve been seeing Dr. Jacob Lane for a while now to help with migraines, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without him. Every week I seem to show up with a million new things going on in my body, and he never makes me feel rushed or like I’m “too much.” He really takes the time to listen and always looks at the big picture — not just my migraines, but how everything is connected.Living with chronic illness means I have a lot of complicated issues, and it’s rare to find a provider who truly gets that. Dr. Lane is incredibly supportive and thorough in his care. Since seeing him regularly, I’ve had a noticeable decrease in migraines, more energy, and I just feel better overall after adjustments. It really makes a difference in how I’m able to function day to day.
