Our approach
Realign, Restore, Rebalance, and Rejuvenate.
Upper cervical chiropractic is specifically focused on the first two bones at the top of the neck near the base of the head. Among the conditions upper cervical chiropractic addresses, neck and back pain as well as migraines and headaches are largely reduced by treating postural misalignments.
We do it with an upper cervical technique, called NUCCA, which stands for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. With nearly 60 years since this technique was perfected, NUCCA is one of the gentlest forms of chiropractic that will never cracks, pops, or twists the neck.
Regardless of your circumstances, we believe that NUCCA can help fast track your path to healing by removing misalignments (i.e. subluxations) and reducing inflammation on your central nervous system. The nervous system affects every human function and when inhibited, varying conditions or problems may result. With proper NUCCA care, misalignments can be corrected and lead to optimal health and well-being.
reduced pain
When the spine is misaligned due to accidents and injuries, pain frequently develops. Research tells us that Chiropractic adjustments are effective for helping people with pain.
increased energy
After a few visits patient’s begin to notice some of the positive side benefits of chiropractic, including more energy and less fatigue.
improved sleep
Chiropractic has been shown to improve sleep, both in adults and children.
symptom relief
Stability to the spine has been shown to improve, and in some cases reverse disease progression.
our focus
Re-Align the Spine
NUCCA is a chiropractic technique that is precise, specific, non-invasive, and gentle. Using this methodology of formulas and measurements, we are able to diagnose and treat your unique misalignment by focusing on the “root”—the first cervical vertebra, otherwise known as the atlas bone. Learn more about NUCCA.
what you can expect
Rebalance
A properly positioned Atlas restores balance to the spine and has a positive domino effect on all bodily systems. This intricate relationship between the alignment of the Atlas (C1- the first vertebra of the spine) along with the Axis, (C-2) and the skull, profoundly impacts the function of the brain and spinal cord. This all starts at the brainstem that sits right above the Atlas and essentially acts as the main breaker switch for all brain to body communication. By focusing on the positioning of the atlas, we treat the root of the patient’s imbalance. In turn, patients report a decrease in disease symptoms, elimination of pain and inflammation, greater hormone balance, absence of headaches, and much more.
