At VITA NOVA SPINAL CARE, P.C., we take the time to explain to you why it is essential to have the alignment of your spine checked, as well as those within your family. Because chiropractic care affects the function of the NERVOUS SYSTEM, the benefits of chiropractic are many, whether one is young or old, athletic or non-athletic, in pain or pain-free, pregnant, ill or healthy.
The NUCCA chiropractic technique
As an upper cervical chiropractor I use the NUCCA upper cervical specific protocol as the primary means of adjusting adults.
NUCCA is a gentle, long-lasting form of chiropractic care which restores balance to the whole human frame. The NUCCA Correction requires NO FORCEFUL TWISTING, POPPING, OR CRACKING, and is barely felt by the patient. It’s an effective technique for improving communication in the body, and a number of health conditions are known to improve in association with NUCCA chiropractic care. Read more about NUCCA
A major part of my practice is caring for pregnant mothers and children.
Caring for pregnant women and children
I have seen first hand how chiropractic care is important for both healthy pregnancies, and for the first years of childhood. All adults and some children receive NUCCA as their primary care with the exception of women who become clients while pregnant.
Pregnant women receive the gentle full-spine care called Activator. This helps their bodies adjust to the rapid changes, and keeps muscles relaxed so that the baby has the best chance of getting “in position” for delivery.
Children around the age of 5 and younger are more often cared for from a full-spine and cranial therapy approach. Only in special cases are X-rays deemed necessary. Please refer to our page on chiropractic pediatrics for more information on how chiropractic benefits the entire family.
