Our Approach

N.U.C.C.A.

The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (N.U.C.C.A.) has developed a highly advanced procedure that is an extremely precise and gentle technique unlike any other kind of care.

Each adjustment experience and healing response is unique to the individual. One thing is universal, the light touch of the adjustment will set your body in the direction for achieving optimum health. A gentle correction A gentle touch and controlled contact on the first vertebrae in the neck is designed to restore balance to the spine.

Even though the primary focus is the neck, the effects of the correction influences the whole spine and all body systems. This is because the N.U.C.C.A. procedure influences one of the highest control centers over body balance, the brain stem and central nervous system.   read more»

In our office we use Bio Cranial to support the NUCCA procedure.

The Bio Cranial System addresses a primary level of dysfunction that can affect structure, biochemistry and emotional balance, by correcting distortions in the covering around the brain, spinal cord and nerves. If 80% of our nervous system resides inside the skull, any imbalances in that structure will adversely affect the function of the nervous system in either its ability for the brain to communicate with the rest of the body (think organ function, muscle strength or tissue repair) or for the brain to receive input from the rest of the body (think sensation, balance and general muscle tone).

Surrounding the brain, spinal cord and every nerve in your body is a tough protective layer of connective tissue called the Dura Mater. Inside the skull the Dura Mater is refered to as The Falx Cerebri and The tentorium Cerebelli. This Dura Mater covers the brain, attaches to the inner surface of the skull, surrounds the spinal cord, attaches to the first two to three cervical vertebrae, is loosely attached to the vertebrae by ligaments throughout the rest of the spine, attaching firmly again at the level of the sacrum. Because the tissue covering every nerve in your body is continuous with and made of the same substance as the dura, any distortion in the dura at the level of the cranium may have an impact anywhere in the body. People with cranial-level distortions may be experiencing organ or hormonal imbalances, pain, fatigue, depression, lack of coordination and many other symptoms of nervous system dysfunction.

Tension on the dura is caused by uncorrected trauma to or distortion of the cranial bones, which occurred either during the birth process (whether natural or Caesarian), trauma to the head, or during periods of excessive stress.

The Bio Cranial System releases the tension on the dura by bringing the cranial bones into optimal expansion and motion. When the dura is free of distortion, the nervous system can restore its optimal two-way communication function and your body can once again heal itself.
