What is NUCCA Chiropractic in Sioux Falls

It’s a simple fact that your body won’t and can’t function properly without the help of chemical and electrical impulses from the brain. It’s important to know how this information gets from your brain to your body.

Your brain sends thousands of chemical and electrical messages to your body every second to function properly. These messages travel through the brain stem, an extension of the brain that carries messages to the rest of your body via the spinal cord. Messages travel through the C1 vertebrae, the top bone of the spinal column and where it joins with the spinal cord.

When your head and neck are out of alignment, the pressure is put on the brain stem. This inhibits the flow of information from your brain to the rest of your body. Genesis Family Chiropractic protects you from this!

Genesis Family Chiropractic utilizes very specifically, sought-after techniques performed by under 250 chiropractors in the nation. This technique, NUCCA, stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association.

NUCCA is non-invasive and painless. It focuses on restoring body balance, removes pressure from the brainstem, and removes the interference to the nervous system. This allows your body to heal itself. NUCCA doesn’t involve twisting, popping, or cracking your neck. All you will feel is a light touch behind your ear.

We accomplish this with very specific and precise X-rays analyzed with a mathematical formula involving mechanics and physics. This formula is used to find your exact spinal misalignment. Each misalignment is specific to the individual, and no two are alike.

Once a doctor determines your exact misalignment, you will be placed on your side with your head carefully placed on a specially designed headpiece before a series of adjustments are performed. The specific adjustments allow your head, which weighs from 10 to 15 pounds, to be properly centered over your neck to restore proper body balance.

Several things occur when the balance is restored. First, the pressure is removed from the brainstem. Second, information flows properly from the brain to the body. Third, the self-healing process begins. Last, the rest of the spine realigns structurally.

Neither the NUCCA organization nor Genesis Family Chiropractic treats or cures specific conditions or diseases. We restore balance, remove interference, and allow your body to begin the self-healing process.
