Expertise in NUCCA
Services
NUCCA Chiropractic
The NUCCA technique corrects upper cervical spine misalignments using gentle, low-force adjustments. By focusing on the atlas vertebra, this method restores spinal balance, alleviating chronic pain, headaches, and mobility issues. Patients experience improved posture and long-term relief as the body maintains proper alignment.
Initial Consultation
A comprehensive evaluation includes health history review, physical exams, and diagnostic imaging. Dr. Lee identifies spinal misalignments and develops personalized care plans. This session educates patients on NUCCA benefits and outlines treatment timelines and costs.
Spinal Adjustments
Precise adjustments target the upper cervical spine using light pressure akin to a pulse. This non-invasive technique corrects misalignments, reducing nerve interference and promoting natural healing. Patients often require fewer visits as their bodies sustain proper alignment.
