The NUCCA technique is a specific type of chiropractic care using the first bone at the top of your neck to align the entire spine with no forceful manipulations. In fact, most patients say they don’t even feel the adjustment, but they do feel the results, often after only one visit.

NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) treatments are gentle, non-invasive, and help to restore body balance and optimal overall health. This precision technique is based on the upper cervical spine and its influence on the central nervous system and brain stem function, which together are responsible for the function of your whole body.

This unique, specific form of chiropractic care uses a precise, painless procedure focused on correcting the Atlas Subluxation Complex, a condition caused by a small misalignment of the bone structure connecting the neck and head. Keeping this area in proper alignment restores balance to the entire spinal column, and can significantly relieve pain and stress throughout your entire body.

Each spinal correction and healing time is different; you will be monitored closely with follow-up visits. These visits help ensure the spinal correction is maintained for as long as possible during the healing process.

Results continue as long as spinal balance is maintained. You are measured at every visit; additional adjustments are only given when the body shows misalignment. Although you may feel much better after your first treatment, it is important to follow up with your NUCCA practitioner; healing is always a process.
