Conditions Treated at Upper Cervical Chiropractic, White Plains

Subluxation is the misalignment of the vertebrae in the spine. These misalignments can happen over time due to genetics, chronic bad posture, or gradually from other injuries that force one side of the body to subtly overcompensate. It can also happen from acute injuries in sports, vehicle collisions, or accidents.

When subluxation occurs, a variety of symptoms can arise from the pressure put on the body and nervous system. Pinched nerves, numbness, and pain only scratch the surface of what Subluxation can do to the body.

The NUCCA technique can help resolve subluxation and the symptoms associated with it. Below is a non-exhaustive list of health conditions that we treat with NUCCA chiropractic treatment.
