Learn About NUCCA Chiropractic Care

What is NUCCA?

NUCCA stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. The term NUCCA is used both to describe the organization and the technique protocol that was established over a half century ago. 

NUCCA protocol is aimed at producing the most precise correction of the Subluxation possible rendering the maximum benefit from Chiropractic care.  

Why is NUCCA Treatment Important?

It’s not only important, it’s essential for optimal health. Accidents and falls can cause injuries to the muscles and ligaments that hold our head straight on top of our neck. This injury must be treated correctly or the consequences to your overall health could be significant. The injury if left untreated causes issues on 3 major levels: 1) Neurological 2) Cerebral Spinal Fluid flow, and 3) Venous Drainage from the skull. 

This can cause a huge array of symptoms because all the communication to every part of your body goes through this area at the top of your neck where it meets the head. This could very likely be the cause of the health issues you are suffering from.

What are Primary Conditions?

A Primary Condition is the “Cause” in the Cause and Effect equation. An example of a Primary Condition is a dehydration, which in its early stages can disrupt normal body processes. The Primary Condition we deal with is a Subluxation or head/neck misalignment, which can lead to an issue anywhere in the body because of the location of where it happens.

What are Secondary Conditions?

A Secondary Condition is the “Effect” in the Cause and Effect equation. The Secondary Conditions of the Primary Condition of dehydration, are thirst, dizziness and disruption of normal processes in the body. The Secondary Conditions of the Primary Condition of Subluxation, are in the hundreds or even thousands. Some of which are listed below.

What are your options?

  1. Treat it medically with a pharmaceutical drug. An example would be to take a pill to cover up the pain of a headache.
  2. Treat it naturally with an herb, supplement, vitamin or something else naturally occurring in nature. An example would be taking extra Vitamin B to try and help increase energy.
  3. Find and fix the underlying cause of the condition. An example would be to remove a Subluxation to restore normal body function.
