Atlas Chiropractic Spine Care, PLLC

Atlas Chiropractic Spine Care utilizes the NUCCA Chiropractic Procedure to gently restore the head, spine and pelvis back to their proper upright position to reduce pain and improve health and wellness. The initial visit begins with a comprehensive physical exam, then three very specific x-rays of the head and neck are taken. These x-rays will be analyzed to understand the upper cervical misalignment, known as the atlas subluxation complex, which will be unique for each patient and then a unique vector will be used. This vector will allow for a gentle, specific adjustment to the atlas (C1) to restore the alignment. Then two post x-rays will be taken and analyzed to verify that and adjustment has occurred.

It is the misalignment of the upper cervical spine from the vertical axis as well as the head and pelvis that creates the neurological insult called the vertebral subluxation complex. In NUCCA terminology it is referred to the Atlas Subluxation Complex Syndrome which describes the spinal misalignment, the neurological insult and the variety of symptoms that may be present.

A possible explanation for the relief of the conditions is that upper cervical misalignments may alter neural function by causing longitudinal traction (think stretching) and transverse traction (think twisting) of the upper cervical spinal cord and lower brain stem. Even if this tractioning is not pathological, stretching of axons decreases their diameter which will decrease the transmission of nerve impulses. This will decrease the homeostasis of the person as a whole.

A correction or suitable reduction of the misalignment will reduce this tractioning and provide relief and improve the overall function of the patient.

The NUCCA Chiropractic Procedure is safe, gentle and effective. Many conditions have been helped with the NUCCA Procedure: neck pain, low back pain, radiating pain from the neck to the arm, radiating pain from the low back to the leg (sciatica), headaches, migraines, tinnitus, trigeminal neuralgia, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, symptoms of concussion and mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Meniere’s disease and many others.
