WHAT IS THE NUCCA CHIROPRACTIC METHOD?
The NUCCA Chiropractic Method is a type of Upper Cervical Care. Upper Cervical Care is a specific type of chiropractic care that focuses on the alignment of the top bones in the spine, specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). The NUCCA method uses a gentle, non-invasive approach to aligning the spine and restoring balance to the body.
The goal of Upper Cervical Care is to restore proper function to the nervous system by correcting any misalignments in the spine. When these bones are out of alignment, it can put pressure on the brainstem and cause a variety of problems throughout the body. Upper Cervical Care can help to relieve many different types of health problems, including headaches, migraines, neck pain, back pain, fatigue, and more.
The NUCCA Method is a gentle and effective way to improve your health and well-being. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional methods of healthcare, Upper Cervical Care may be right for you.
NUCCA CHIROPRACTIC CARE VS TRADITIONAL CHIROPRACTIC METHODS
The NUCCA adjustment is different than a traditional “neck crack” because it is a gentle adjustment that does not require any twisting, popping, or cracking. The adjustment is so gentle that many infants and children can receive them.
NUCCA Doctors use precision instruments to measure the misalignment in your spine and then a gentle adjustment is made to correct the misalignment.
THRUST TECHNIQUE
Traditional chiropractic care that many people are familiar with involves quick twisting, popping, or cracking of the spine, neck, or joint areas. These types of adjustments are safe and effective, but appear to be more “aggressive” in their style.
NON-THRUST TECHNIQUE
A non-thrust technique is one in which no quick movement is used to make the adjustment. NUCCA is an Upper Cervical Specific, non-thrust technique. The NUCCA doctor uses a precision instrument to measure the misalignment and then a gentle adjustment is made to correct it.
