At Precision Chiropractic I use the NUCCA chiropractic system to realign the spine. A NUCCA doctor takes precise x-ray images before and after the first adjustment. The doctor uses the post x-ray measurements to refine the adjustment and reduce the misalignment as much as possible. This adjustment is extremely light, just one ounce of force is felt on the neck. A NUCCA doctor is listed on the NUCCA.org website under "Locate a Doctor".
NUCCA stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. The NUCCA adjustment is extraordinarily effective.
Half of my patients only need a few adjustments, plus an occasional measurement check. The other half receives a varying number of adjustments. Perhaps one in twenty needs to come in weekly for several months, and these are usually auto accident victims.
The goal of the NUCCA chiropractic system is to allow your spine to maintain its correct alignment for the rest of your life, with as few adjustments as possible.
