Introduction to NUCCA
Discover one of today’s best-kept secrets in healthcare—Upper Cervical Care. The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) has developed a system of precise analysis to transfer the exact corrective force needed to realign the head, neck, and atlas (C-1) spine. This advanced procedure allows us to adjust this complex area of the spine using minimal force, without twisting or cracking.

What is NUCCA?
The goal is to restore body balance and nerve functions by precisely correcting the head and neck spinal misalignment, so the body can heal better.
NUCCA procedure provides unique solution to complex health problems related to brain and spine disorders. The goal is to restore body balance and nerve functions by precisely correcting the head and neck spinal misalignment. By fine-turning the head and neck spinal alignment, we can restore the body balance and posture to a more central position. As a result, the body weight distributes more evenly as body adapts to a better balanced position.

Unique Benefits
Where Precision Meets Results.
NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) chiropractic focuses on precise and gentle corrections of the upper cervical spine, which results in steady return toward good health over time.
A gentle correction that lasts
A minimal, low force spinal adjustment
Precise adjustment with objective results
A natural, holistic approach to restore balance and posture
Precise and Gentle Correction That Lasts
NUCCA chiropractor utilizes a holistic approach to plan out restorative program for restore nervous system functions. Some of the assessments include weight distribution assessment, visual and proprioceptive balance assessment, cervical spine joint proprioceptive assessment, and etc. We aim to maintain the correction and to build stability over time.
When there’s a misalignment in the upper neck (craniocervical junction), this will interfere with the nervous system function, and this can translate into posture distortion and chronic pain.

NUCCA Discovery Health: Tony Schumacher
Discovery Health recently featured racecar driver Tony Schumacher who crashed at 320 mph and was unable to recover from his injuries until receiving the NUCCA procedure.
Accidents and Injuries
A car accident or a sports injury can be one of the many things that cause the atlas (c-1) spine to misalign. If someone has ever experienced a significant impact to the body such as a car accident, a sports injury, a fall or a bump to the head, then a force to your neck cannot be avoidable. Sometimes, an injury to the head and/or neck can cause damage to the tissues surrounding the upper neck joint. This results in spinal instability that can result in twisted body posture that remains locked causing further weakness and deterioration in the spine.
The upper neck misalignment can result in:
(1) posture distortion (body twist, poor posture)
(2) shifted body weight distribution (pelvic tilt, posture swaying)
(3) a short leg on one side (muscle tone imbalance)
(4) balance and coordination dysfunctions (vestibular problem)
(5) autonomic nervous system dysfunction (brainstem compression)
(6) disrupted brain blood/CSF flow (circulation problem)
