Experience gentle, precise spinal care without twisting or cracking. Our NUCCA technique delivers measurable results through scientific, reproducible principles trusted for over 31 years.
The NUCCA technique represents a significant advancement in chiropractic care. Unlike traditional methods, our approach does not involve "twisting" or "cracking" of the neck—making it comfortable for patients of all ages.
Using true plane spinography X-rays, we precisely measure the exact degree of your atlas misalignment. This allows us to deliver targeted corrections that address the single most important component of your neurological and spinal function.

Unlike traditional chiropractic, NUCCA focuses on precise correction that holds—meaning fewer visits and longer-lasting results.
Step 1
Comprehensive exam with neurological assessment and precision X-rays to measure your exact atlas misalignment down to fractions of a degree.
Step 2
A gentle, precise NUCCA adjustment—no twisting or cracking. Post-correction X-rays verify the adjustment was successful.
Step 3
Follow-up visits monitor if your correction is holding. You're only adjusted when needed—not every visit like traditional chiropractic.
Step 4
Once stable, periodic check-ups ensure lasting alignment. Many patients need far fewer visits than with traditional chiropractic care.
