N.U.C.C.A. is an acronym for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. It is an advanced chiropractic procedure that has developed a bio mechanical model for the skull, atlas, axis and their relationship to the lower cervical spine.
Which means that there is a gentle way to correct head, neck, brain stem and upper spinal chord problems. It is not a therapy or quick fix, it is the process of returning the spine to normal function. There is NO rotational movement or quick jerks. It is gentle and safe. Most people who receive a NUCCA adjustment only feel the warmth of the doctors hand and a light pressure underneath their ear.
NUCCA has received media attention for it's positive effects on blood pressure. A scientific testament that the specific adjustment effects the body's regulatory mechanisms. For more information about NUCCA and the blood pressure study, visit our "links" section of the site.
