The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) technique is a very gentle and effective method to detect and correct one of the most devastating health conditions that humans can experience...the spinal misalignment!
The following text describes some of the unique characteristics of NUCCA that distinguishes it from other types of healthcare that are available today. The NUCCA protocol utilizes scientifiic principles of mathematics, physics and biomechanics and applies the application of these principles to a living biological system (the human body) to maximize a person's ability to grow, develop and heal completely. Please invest some time and effort into understanding this unique yet very profound type of healthcare.
"There are several unique features of NUCCA that our patients find very attractive."
1. We begin your care with a thorough health history and a detailed spinal examination to determine specifically if your spine is not in proper alignment. The doctor uses a supine leg length exam, a posture exam, cervical spine range of motion, cervical spine palpation, and a surface Electromyography (sEMG) exam. The doctor is trying to identify several indicators that your spine is not in proper alignment. If the doctor determines that your spine is misaligned, then he/she will recommend proceeding with the cervical x-rays to measure your specific misalignment.
2. NUCCA care uses a very specific 3-dimensional cervical x-ray series to measure and calculate your specific spinal misalignment. The doctor will perform three very specific x-rays of your neck; one from the side (lateral), one from the top (vertex), and one from the front (nasium). The doctor uses these x-rays to determine your specific misalignment...it is as individual to you as your fingerprint! After the doctor has accurate x-rays, the doctor will then use them to perform a detailed analysis to determine which direction and how far your spine has displaced. This is necessary information to successfully correct your spine on your next visit!
3. During your first NUCCA spinal correction, the doctor will have you lie on your side on a very specialized table. Your head will be supported in a very specific fashion and you should be fairly comfortable during the adjustment process. The doctor then stands in a very specific position to properly correct your spine. You will feel a very gentle touch or light pressure from the doctors hand on the side of your neck during the adjustment. The doctor will inform you when the correction is complete.
4. When the doctor has determined that a favorable adjustment has been accomplished, he/she will then perform a series of post-adjustment x-rays to verify that a complete spinal correction has been successful. After the correction, the doctor will perform a detailed analysis to be certain that the spine is successfully corrected.
5. While the doctor is finishing the x-ray analysis, you will be resting in the Restoration Room. It is strongly encouraged to rest after the correction...this allows your body to adapt to the changes and your spine to stabilize in its newly corrected postion. Most people begin to experience changes immediately after their first correction. You can expect your body to feel better and function better because your spine is in proper alignment and your nervous system is no longer being irritated. Most people experience pain relief and recovery, more restful sleep, more energy, stronger immune system , proper organ function, increased performance and mental clarity, and a strong feeling of vitality after their first spinal correction!
