Understanding NUCCA Chiropractic

NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) chiropractic is a specialized form of upper cervical care focused on correcting misalignments in the top vertebrae of the spine—the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). Unlike traditional chiropractic methods that may involve twisting, cracking, or popping, NUCCA adjustments are exceptionally gentle and precise.

How Does NUCCA Work?

Using detailed X-rays and biomechanical analysis, a NUCCA chiropractor determines the exact degree of misalignment. The adjustment is performed using light, controlled pressure directed at the neck’s top vertebrae. This restores proper alignment and helps the nervous system function optimally.

Benefits of NUCCA Chiropractic

• Relieves headaches, migraines, and neck pain
• Improves balance and reduces dizziness
• Restores normal nerve communication and promotes natural healing
• Gentle and safe—no popping, cracking, or twisting

Who Can Benefit from NUCCA?

NUCCA chiropractic is suitable for individuals of all ages, including children and seniors. It's especially helpful for people experiencing chronic pain, vertigo, whiplash, or postural imbalances.
