What Is an Upper Cervical Chiropractor?
An upper cervical chiropractor has training from the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA). NUCCA has developed a procedure to adjust the subluxation (misalignment) of the atlas vertebra, the top bone in the spinal column. An adjustment of this bone can rebalance the entire spinal column. Upper cervical chiropractors perform a highly specialized service. Only a few hundred chiropractors have the necessary training and expertise to perform the NUCCA procedure.
The Adjustment Procedure
If you pursue upper cervical chiropractic care, your first step is an initial appointment. During your first appointment, your upper cervical chiropractor assesses your current condition and discusses your goals for treatment. After this conversation, your chiropractor can examine your reflexes, range of motion and other physical traits. A chiropractor may also use tools to diagnose your spinal health, including: — Paraspinal digital infrared imaging: A small device measures skin temperature near the spine to identify nervous system imbalances. — Paraspinal EMG scanning: A chiropractor measures muscular electrical signals to evaluate muscle groups. — Precision laser-aligned X-ray: A precise X-ray machine takes images to identify subluxations in the spine. With the data collected during your initial appointment, a chiropractor can report the imbalances you face and the necessary procedures to adjust your spine for a solution to your pain and other medical issues. With a treatment procedure tailored to your needs, you can begin to see relief.
What Conditions Benefit From Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care?
Upper cervical care can address thousands of conditions, from neck and back pain to conditions that might seem unrelated to your spinal health. Proper spinal balance is critical to good health. When your spine is out of alignment, it can cause far-reaching effects across the entire body. By addressing the root cause of pain and discomfort, your chiropractor can spread healing to the rest of the body.
Subluxation is the root cause of many medical issues. Misalignments might occur over time due to genetics, posture or previous injury that causes the body to compensate by tensing the muscles around the spine. NUCCA treatment addresses many conditions, including:
