What To Expect

Step One
The first step in our NUCCA chiropractic in Sacramento is a detailed consultation, which is conducted to understand the history of each individual. Next, a postural examination is performed using a digital Anatometer to understand the three dimensional posture of an individual.

Step Two
If it has been determined that a postural distortion (spinal misalignment) is present, very specific NUCCA three dimensional X-ray films are taken. The analysis of these films calculates a precise, customized adjustment that will impact the whole spine.

Step Three
The NUCCA adjustment itself is performed to the upper neck and typically feels completely under-whelming and painless. The amount of pressure is just enough to slightly dimple the skin. There is NO cracking or twisting of the neck or spine in the NUCCA upper cervical adjustment.

Once the initial adjustment is made, follow up X-ray films are taken to determine if the adjustment is complete. The post X-ray analysis is used to determine if the atlas was properly returned to its neutral position directly underneath the center of the skull. Also, measurement of the neck is calculated to determine if the head and atlas are balanced appropriately.

Further adjusting will be necessary if proper structural balance was not achieved. This is verified by the post X-ray film analysis.

Since each individual has a unique history and postural imbalance, follow-up care will be discussed on the visit to our NUCCA chiropractor in Sacramento following the initial adjustment. This specific, gentle Upper Cervical Chiropractic approach has helped numerous people with various conditions. At Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Sacramento we do not treat a specific disease or condition. By restoring proper body balance, the body itself minimizes or heals the disease or condition.
