What is the NUCCA, upper cervical technique?
NUCCA is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. A gentle touch and controlled contact on the first vertebrae in the neck, C-1, is designed to restore balance to the spine. Even though the primary focus is the neck, the effect of the correction influences the whole spine and all the body systems. This is because the NUCCA procedure influences one of the highest control centers over body balance, the brain stem and central nervous system. When the spine is subjected to stress it can become misaligned. This phenomenon is known as the Atlas Subluxation Complex Syndrome.
