What makes NUCCA different?

No twisting of the spine
Completely gentle and painless procedure
90% fewer adjustments
More advanced healing
Greater consistency

NUCCA is an acronym for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. The procedure is redefining how chiropractic is being practiced. The traditional methodology of twisting, bending, cracking, popping, or snapping the spine back into place is slowly being replaced by methods that painlessly and gently realign the entire spine and pelvic region without any popping or twisting.

NUCCA has the uncanny ability to make people well for a lifetime. The procedure is soundly grounded on engineering principles of mathematics, physics, and biomechanics that enable the doctor to precisely, gently, and painlessly restore balance to the upper cervical (neck) spine which translates into whole body balance and improved nerve function.

 

The procedure is breaking down barriers that have kept millions of men, women, and children from utilizing chiropractic care. Many people were concerned that the popping and twisting could cause them harm, others had the concern about the frequency of spinal adjustments, and others truly believed that it was not effective. The NUCCA procedure removes all these fears and concerns. The procedure requires no twisting of the spine, the adjustment is gentle and painless, the precision of the spinal correction allows for greater spinal stability which translates into 90% few spinal adjustments, and finally the procedure tends to alleviate nerve stress throughout the body at a higher success rate than other procedures resulting in more consistent and reproducible health benefits.

How is NUCCA experienced by members of Keystone Spinal Care?

1. The doctor takes 3 pre X-rays of the upper cervical spine to calculate the 3-dimensional misalignment of the neck and skull. 

2.  Positioning for the spinal correction requires a person to lay on his/her right or
 left side without any turning of the head or neck.

3.  All corrections utitize a hand contact directed to the top bone in the spine called
the atlas. This corrects the entire spine (neck, mid-back, low-back, and hips.)

4.  During the correction, the patient feels a light touch behind the lower tip of the  
right or left ear.

5. Post x-rays immediately following the correction validates its accuracy

6. To ensure proper relaxation a 10-15 minute rest in our recliner is encouraged
to help stabilize the spine in it's new (corrected) position

This new corrected position of the neck, spine, and hips encourages proper body balance and brain to body nerve communication. This improved nerve flow allows the body to start healing itself from the inside out.
