NUCAA: A Special Upper Cervical Chiropractic Technique

Is NUCCA Care Right for You?

NUCCA is one of the most widely known chiropractic techniques aiming to restore balance in your body and address migraine causing postural distortions

The Science Behind NUCCA

Neurons fire signals from the brain through the spinal cord to help control specific tissues such as muscles or organs. When trauma or injury occurs to the head or neck such as whiplash, concussions, or slips and falls- the neck becomes misaligned leading to various painful or debilitating conditions such as migraines, headaches, TMJ, and Vertigo. NUCCA works by providing gentle adjustments to the C1 and C2 bone alignments. When your neck maintains alignment, the nervous system begins to heal.

Who Needs NUCCA Care?

NUCCA can be provided to people of any age, including infants! It can be used as a natural and sustainable way to provide relief or healing to a variety of conditions and symptoms, including:

- Migraine Attacks

- TMJ Pain

- Stress, Depression, and Anxiety

- Vestibular Migraines

- And much more!

What Happens During a Visit?

First, we offer a free, in depth consultation where we determine whether you're fit for upper cervical care. If it is the right fit for you, we perform an exam and imaging. This includes checking for postural distortion, performing a gravity stress test analysis, fixing the cervical subluxation, and taking follow up x- ray scans to assess the effectiveness of the NUCCA adjustment.

Real People. Real Pain. Real Relief.

Continuing to not have neck pain or headaches has been so nice. Before this treatment, I was constantly worried about my neck pain- and not as happy as I could be. The treatments are so gentle and as someone with anxiety, it was a real positive to not be stressed out by the treatments, they are so gentle- yet precise. Dr Ross is so specific and engineered a plan to get lasting results. Thank you Dr Charlie Ross DC

Dr. Ross goes above and beyond! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2011. I was plagued with chronic pain & fatigue, brain fog, and migraines. I couldn't do very much outside of work (desk job). My correction is more complicated than most, but he took the time to properly assess and reassess my case to provide the care that I need. In the short time that I have been a patient of Dr. Ross' (6 months), there has been a remarkable reduction in my symptoms and a significant improvement to my overall quality of life!

As a very active 68-year-old, I want to continue enjoying my golf activities with minimal soreness afterwards. The examination, particularly the x-rays, were very specific and detailed. After a few NUCCA Adjustments, I noticed that my hip pain was gone, I no longer had headaches, and my neck was more mobile. Dr. Ross recommended a very reasonable treatment plan, with the goal of having me come less frequently as the adjustments hold longer. I am very thankful for Dr. Charlie Ross; he is knowledgeable and communicates in a way that you don’t need a Ph.D to understand!!

After years of suffering from neck pain, pain between my shoulders, back pain, and tingling in my arms, I finally found relief. I used to be so uncomfortable that I needed all sorts of different treatments two or three times a week just to get by. NUCCA (Upper Cervical) adjustments have made a huge difference in my day to day life. Over four to six weeks, my symptoms gradually disappeared. Now, I have no back pain at all and can get through my day without discomfort. I no longer feel like I need a treatment just to survive the pain. I still go once or twice a month for a check-up, which keeps me feeling great. What I love about NUCCA is how precise it is. Dr. Charlie Ross is incredibly analytical and figures out exactly what's needed at each visit. It's like a logical, focused, and highly engineered approach to treatment—and it worked for me -without the constant need for more...

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about Migraines and NUCCA care? Check out our FAQs below!

What is the difference between a Migraine and a Headache?

While both deal with head pain, a headache is a constant, dull pain, usually on both sides of the head. A migraine is a throbbing pain that usually occurs on one side of the head, and is accompanied by other, often severe symptoms such blurry vision, nausea, and sensitivity to light, touch, or sound. They can be frequently occurring and are sometimes preceded by an 'aura' or light haze minutes before the pain kicks in. While headaches can last a few hours, migraines can last up to a few days.

How can an upper cervical chiropractor help?

Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care focuses on correcting misalignments in the upper neck region of your spine. A misaligned spine typically begins with injury to the head or neck but can also be caused by stress, sudden head movements, or allergies; this type of misalignment can lead to debilitating symptoms and conditions such migraines. Upper Cervical Chiropractors restore proper head, neck, and spine alignment by performing a specific, precise and gentle correction to the C1 and C2 bones.

What happens after an upper cervical adjustment?

No misalignment's are exactly alike! Patients may have differing experiences after exploring NUCAA care. Some report good results immediately, while other more severe cases may feel a little sore or experience muscle stiffness that will improve after a few days.
