The doctor analyzes your films using precise calculations developed by the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association to determine the specific reduction pathway and corrective force needed to gently bring your head, neck and atlas back into alignment. These highly sophisticated calculations allow us to correct this complex and delicate region of the spine with very little force, and no “cracking,” “twisting”, or “popping”. This resulting alignment relieves the stress on posture nerves that feed your brain stem, the communicator between your brain and all the functions of your body, thus allowing the body to heal itself. The NUCCA correction has been called a whole body adjustment, because people with health problems in the lower parts of the body also respond well to the NUCCA correction.
