About NUCCA
 

What Is NUCCA?


NUCCA

 
 
NUCCA stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. NUCCA is a sophisticated, advanced specialized technique in Chiropractic. With no cracking, popping or manipulating, the method focuses on properly aligning the body using a precise yet gentle correction to the upper neck.

 

The Upper Neck


 The Upper Neck is the gateway to messages to and from the brain.
 These messages are carried via the Nervous System that controls            
 and coordinates all functions of the body, from the most basic to
 the most complex. It is no wonder the Nervous System is called, the
 body's Master Control system.







Pressure of the Atlas on the brainstem causes an interference to nerve
flow to and from the brain. The upper neck is a sensitive location that
when messages are interrupted due to a misalignment in that area,
the body loses its optimum function and sets the stage for serious
health problems for all parts of the body to arise.








Body Balance 
 

When the body is balanced, there
is no stress or tension on the brain stem. This allows communications between the brain and body to travel back and forth unimpeded, promoting maximum health and healing.

 
Body Imbalance  
 

  
When pressure of the atlas on the
brainstem develops and the body becomes imbalanced, the
brainstem is compressed, restricting
the flow of communication between
the brain and body.
