As we go through life, we experience accidents and traumas that cause our heads to be knocked off the vertical axis which causes the rest of our spine to shift and buckle under the weight of our head. This causes irregular changes in the posture and musculature of the body and then eventually degenerative changes in the overall body structure and bone results. My job as a NUCCA Chiropractor is to put your head on straight, literally, to help relieve the abnormal stress that is being put on the rest of your body.
The NUCCA Chiropractic technique is an upper cervical specific technique that is very gentle. It includes very specific X-rays of the head and neck (cervical vertebrae).
The top vertebrae in the spine is called the Atlas, this is the bone that surrounds the brain stem and also the bone on which the skull sits. If this bone is not in the correct position, messages aren't going to travel properly from the brain to the rest of the body, or from the body back up to the brain. This phenomenon is known as nerve interference and it can show up in many different ways throughout our bodies.
When this gentle adjustment is made, body imbalance will be restored. Stress, tension and pressure is relieved at the level of the brain stem and messages are able to be reactivated to the affected part of the body, thus the healing process can begin.
Some conditions that can be helped by this type of Chiropractic care are:

Kid Care - Today, as in the past, many individuals are able to understand the need for specific spinal care in
adults. They can see how the structure of the body can effect the function of the body. However,
their ability to relate the same concept to infants and children is often far more limited or
completely absent.
