NUCCA stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association.
With over five decades of research and development, NUCCA is a highly specific chiropractic procedure that use biomechanics, physics, and mathematics to calculate and correct upper cervical (upper neck) misalignment patterns.
NUCCA chiropractors specialize in assessing and correcting how the head and neck are balanced.
Although the work is done primarily in the upper neck, the correction affects the entire body. This is because the correction subtly affects one of the highest controlled centers of body balance –the brainstem and the central nervous system.
As a result of restoring the balance of the head and neck, the body balance is also restored, effectively relieving stresses throughout the body, alleviating pain and tension.
Gentle, Specific and Lasting Effects
The NUCCA procedure is very gentle and is highly specific to each patient. The adjustment is done manually, thus placing the head and the upper neck in alignment while lying in side posture. The pressure felt during the correction is very light, without any twisting of the neck or audible crack.
The NUCCA procedure creates lasting effects on the body. With fewer interventions needed as the imbalance and postural distortions unwind and maintain for a longer period of time, the dependency for frequent check-ups diminish, so you can enjoy living with improved quality of life!
