NUCCA Chiropractic Care
NUCCA is a sophisticated procedure that specializes in spinal correction without surgery. It expands on the theory of upper cervical chiropractic & words to reduce the number of treatments for patients. This procedure makes corrections only from the atlas or top of the spine. It can be best described in an analogy of a flexible green stick. If you were to bend the stick, where would you put the stress? The stress would be on the ends and it would bend in the middle. This is much like the spine. Instead of treating the pain in the middle of the spine, the NUCCA system corrects the cause of the pain where the pressure is created, at the top of the spine. The procedure involves x-rays before and after the correction, showing immediate improvements.

What is a Mis-Aligned Spine?
An initial injury tears loose the connective tissue holding the spine together. This allows the head and neck to move off center. When this occurs, it changes the biomechanics of the spine and produces wear and tear on the joints. As a result, the movement of the spine requires more energy and the body does not function at 
full capacity. This decreases the patient’s quality of life.
Once the spine is misaligned, the muscles located in the lower spine tighten and pull the hips out of balance. At the same time, the head and neck return to center. This makes the spine twist and contort. The twisting of the mis-alignment stresses the spine at numerous points along its length and causes pain.
How Does NUCCA Correct a Mis-Aligned Spine?
The NUCCA procedure acknowledges the mis-alignment of the entire spine. The correction is done at the top of the spine, at the level of the atlas. This transmits a force throughout the spine, removes the stress points, and allows the body to come back to a neutral, balanced position.
