What is the NUCCA upper cervical technique?

The NUCCA chiropractic technique involves aligning the C1 vertebra also known as the Atlas. It is a small donut-like shaped bone located at the top of the spine and the base of the skull that surrounds the brain stem.

When the spine is subjected to stress it can become misaligned, known as the Atlas Subluxation Complex Syndrome (ASC) or the ASC Syndrome.

The NUCCA procedure influences one of the highest control centres over body balance, the brain stem and the central nervous system.

Nerves are responsible for four primary functions:
1. Control and regulate all vital functions including circulation, breathing and digestion.
2. Activate muscles allowing us to move.
3. Allow us to sense, perceive and feel.
4. Relate us to the world outside ourselves including learning, experiencing and behaviour.

A gentle touch and controlled contact on the first vertebrae in the neck is designed to restore balance to the spine. It is a highly advanced procedure that is an extremely precise and gentle technique unlike any other kind of chiropractic treatment.

It corrects the body's posture and to allow the rest of the spine and nervous system to function at its optimal potential.
