Many seek upper cervical care to relieve their suffering. But not all do. Here’s the story of one woman from Ames, Iowa who desired NUCCA for its ability to improve her body alignment.

Carol’s story is unique, but welcome. Instead of waiting for her body to break down in order to treat an illness, she sees her health as an investment.

She seeks proper rest, nutrition, and now body alignment through the NUCCA upper cervical procedure. Carol doesn’t have a miracle story about upper cervical care, because she doesn’t need one.

She was already feeling healthy to begin with. But with NUCCA she believes things have gotten even better.

As a NUCCA doctor, my major focus is on documenting a practice member’s posture, and helping them improve that posture and their health by gently balancing the head with the rest of the body.

When I first examined Carol, I saw that one of her shoulders was more forward than the other, indicating a twisting in her body framework that placed more strain on her upper body. Stress she often feels at work. Her upper body was pointing one direction while her pelvis was pointing in a slightly different direction.

After one adjustment, the shoulders relaxed and her arms hung equally at her sides. It was a change that Carol and I could see immediately. Over the last 2 months Carol has needed only a few  upper cervical adjustments. Now her new alignment is stabilized, and on her next visit she’ll be released from regular care.

After that, Carol will monitor her own posture and come into the office to have her alignment checked a couple times a year.

I’m proud of Carol for recognizing that upper cervical care can be preventative care.
