NUCCA (Upper Cervical)

Your brain stem extends down into your spine, making the upper portion of your spine one of the most nerve-rich areas of your body—and the most vulnerable. Even the slightest nerve interference here can have significant, whole-body consequences.

The Uppermost Spinal Bones

Imbalance often starts at the top of the spine.

The uppermost spinal vertebrae, known as C1, is also called the Atlas. The second, C2, is referred to as the Axis. These two vertebrae have a special relationship. Rotation, tipping or even the most subtle misalignment can profoundly affect your entire nervous system.

Thorough Examination

Our upper cervical adjustments rely on precise mathematical calculations, physics and a thorough knowledge of spinal biomechanics. Naturally, having pictures of your spine is essential.

A Gentle Touch

A specific, highly-controlled contact to the upper bone of your spine is the focus of your correction. Adding the appropriate energy to your spine at the right time, the right place and in the precise direction helps restore integrity to your spine and nervous system.

Compensation Reaction

Many people are surprised that we adjust the upper area of the spine when the primary complaint is elsewhere. Simple. When the Atlas and Axis have lost their integrity, other areas of the spine compensate, creating the symptom. By helping restore this critical relationship, we often see compensatory problems elsewhere in the spine resolve on their own.

Dr. Joseph Asks some important questions of interest to Cincinnati residents - Chiropractor Cincinnati Dr. Joseph Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Cincinnati parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
