NUCCA is a unique form of Chiropractic spinal health care that uses a specific
procedure focused on correcting a small misalignment of the upper neck known
as the Atlas Subluxation Complex. This subtle correction ultimately restores
optimal balance to the entire spinal column. Because the spinal column protects
the central nervous system that controls and coordinates all body functions, good
spinal balance is critical to good health.
Listed below are some of the reactions and changes that are possible during the
stabilization and healing period, as the body is at work restoring health:
* Alleviation of symptoms
* Tired and/or relaxed feeling
* Light-headedness – possible headaches
* Cold-like symptoms, i.e. Runny nose, as the body goes through a cleansing
process
* Muscle stiffness in other parts of the body as it adapts to the correction
* Pain in the area of an old injury
* Tingling or heat sensation as blood and oxygen circulation continues to
normalize
* Body elimination changes – either diarrhea or constipation as the body adapts
to changes after the correction
Symptoms may decrease immediately or pain may change and move to another
area of the body. All are signs that indicate the self-healing process is working.
Most patients get results with the first spinal correction and will experience
85% or better results during the 4 to 6 weeks stabilization and healing period –
provided body balance is maintained. It is very important for the Doctor to
continue to monitor progress during this period to prevent any interruption of
the healing cycle.
