Our Chiropractic Services
At Bellingham Spinal Care, we offer NUCCA chiropractic care. National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) care, is a specialized form of chiropractic treatment that focuses on the precise alignment of the upper cervical spine—specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae. Unlike traditional chiropractic methods that may involve broad spinal adjustments, NUCCA takes a gentle, non-invasive approach, emphasizing the critical relationship between the upper neck and the body’s overall structural and neurological balance.
The philosophy behind NUCCA is rooted in the idea that misalignments in the upper cervical region can disrupt the brainstem and spinal cord’s function, leading to a cascade of issues throughout the body, including pain, poor posture, and even systemic health challenges. By using detailed measurements, aided by X-rays and a light, controlled adjustment technique, NUCCA practitioners aim to restore proper alignment with minimal force, avoiding the “cracking” or “popping” commonly associated with other chiropractic styles.
Patients often seek NUCCA care for conditions like migraines, neck pain, vertigo, or chronic fatigue, drawn by its reputation for addressing root causes rather than just symptoms. The process begins with a thorough assessment, followed by a tailored adjustment, after which the body is
believed to naturally recalibrate over time. While scientific studies on NUCCA are still emerging, its advocates praise its precision and subtlety, positioning it as a compelling choice for those seeking a less invasive path to wellness within the chiropractic field.
