Main Objective Of A NUCCA Chiropractor In Northbrook

The main objective of a NUCCA Chiropractor in Northbrook is to restore the entire spine back to a balanced, unstressed position by using a precise yet gentle adjustment to the upper neck.

Nucca recognizes that when the body is not balanced it causes stress and tension to various parts of the spine. We call these stressors symptoms.

When the atlas at the top of the neck is out of its proper position, the head moves off-center of the body. This creates a body imbalance from head to toe. More weight shifts to one side of the body than another. If the atlas is also rotated out of position it can twist the entire spinal structure, including the pelvis.

This imbalance presents as one of the legs being longer or shorter, one hip higher or lower, twisting of the body framework, muscular imbalance, and abnormal movement, which over time causes pain and progressive wear and tear.

NUCCA focuses specifically on the relationship of the head to the rest of the spine. Using x-rays and basic physics the NUCCA chiropractor applies a gentle force to the atlas vertebra. Each adjustment is unique to the individual. The adjustment usually consists of the patient laying on their side and the NUCCA chiropractor gently adjusting the back of the neck.

Without any forceful or twisting movements, this gentle correction is designed to return the head back to its true center of gravity allowing the brain balance centers to reposition the pelvis, spine, and body.

The NUCCA chiropractic technique works because repositioning the spine reactivates the transmission of healing messages from the brain to the affected part of the body so the body's natural self-healing process can begin.
