What is NUCCA?
Our Approach
The human body is very complex; nerve/neurological pathways need to be clear of interference in order for all of your systems to work properly. Nerve interference can cause muscle and joint stress, migraines, and chronic neck pain just to name a few.
NUCCA is a gentle and precise procedure focused on optimal biomechanical alignment of the head and neck, relieving stress throughout other areas of the body.
Optimizing Posture
Poor posture can lead to increased wear and tear on soft tissue structures such as muscles and ligaments and is one of the leading causes of chronic neck problems.
Similarly, issues in one part of our spine can contribute to pain throughout the body, not just that one specific area. Therefore, if you experience neck and posture issues, you’re likely going to experience issues in other areas. This includes pain in the head, jaw arms, and even the lower back.
Using a spinal adjustment that feels like having your pulse taken, the NUCCA procedure rebalances posture quickly and effectively.
The average patient in a NUCCA office sees a greater than 50% reduction in postural distortion within 2-3 days of the initial visit, and the procedure itself is as gentle as having your pulse taken. Posture is not only important to how you feel, but it also projects a healthy image to the rest of the world.
3D CBCT Imaging
The technique is very precise; our doctors use detailed 3D CBCT imaging to determine the specific adjusting angle for your misalignment as well as follow-up imaging to ensure optimal correction was achieved.
By using precise and objective 3D CBCT Imaging of the head and neck, along with mathematical measurement analysis, NUCCA doctors are able to establish a misalignment pattern unique to every person.
Once the misalignment is understood by the doctor, there is no need for further 3D CBCT Imaging because correlating the relationship between posture and upper cervical misalignment allows posture to then be used thereafter to judge alignment.
Additionally, there is often less need for repeated corrections because of the specific 3D CBCT Imaging measurements.
Unique Benefits of NUCCA
Less Adjustments
We almost never see people 3x/week.
Long lasting correction
Our goal is to get people back to life, not back to our office.
Effective for complex neurological conditions
We take pride in taking care of difficult to treat neurological conditions.
Feel and see results
Not only can patients feel better, but they will see pre- and post- 3D CBCT Imaging showing that your spine is improving over time.
