Looking for help?
Are you are suffering? Is your body telling you that something is wrong and isn’t working properly? Are you looking to keep yourself healthy and functioning optimally? Perhaps it’s time to explore a different approach to maintaining health. Welcome to Upper Cervical Chiropractic!
What to Expect
The Vital Posture Difference
We hope your visit with us is exceptional, and we work hard to ensure it is. Whether it’s the warmth of our greeting, the comfortable surroundings, or the tea and snacks – we know that we can’t care for you unless we are also first caring for each other and ourselves. Our team arrives well before our first patient, and as we get ready for the day, our morning huddle begins with an attunement which draws our attention to something we want to focus on and be grateful for as the day progresses. This process of connecting as a team allows us to then move on to the business of providing exceptional healthcare to the patients who walk through our door.
What is NUCCA?
At The Vital Posture™ Clinic, we focus specifically on the upper cervical (upper neck) region of the spine using the chiropractic technique referred to as NUCCA (“NU-ka”). NUCCA utilizes the principles of mathematics, physics, biomechanics, and kinesiology to balance the head on the neck therefore relieving stress throughout other areas of the body.
How Did I Get This Way?
Structural changes to the body such as pregnancy, surgeries, and even fluctuations in your weight can affect your posture. Posture can also be affected by your activity level, muscle and ligament flexibility, diet, stress level and even sleeping position.
How is the Entire Body Affected?
Accidents and injuries over a lifetime create wear and tear on our ligaments and tissues allowing our joints to slip into a misaligned position. When this occurs in the upper neck it triggers a cascade of postural reflexes that activate different muscles along the entire spine to maintain you in an upright posture, similar to the action of strings moving a puppet.
Symptom Success Outcomes
Our structure determines our ability to function. Living in gravity with poor posture creates unnecessary wear and tear on our tissues and joints. Our goal is to help you balance your posture so that you can stand straighter, move better, and live better. Using the NUCCA technique we can help reduce your postural distortion by an average of 83% within two to four days of your first treatment.
Stretching
Stretching is one of the most important things you can do to maximize the benefits of your care and improve your health! Consistent gentle stretching will help increase the flexibility of the muscles and ligaments allowing them to better support your posture. Committing to a daily stretching routine helps prevent injuries, can speed recovery, and aids in relaxation and stress reduction.
