Accidents and injuries throughout our lives can tear loose the connective tissue that holds our spinal joints together. In an effort to keep the head centered over the neck, the body will compensate and move into an imbalanced, stressed position. This imbalance shows up with one of the legs being longer or shorter, one hip higher or lower, one shoulder higher or lower, twisting of the body framework, muscular imbalance, abnormal movement, and over time progressive wear and tear.

 

NUCCA recognizes that this body position can cause stress, tension and pressure on the musculoskeletal system and the entire nervous system, most importantly the brain stem and spinal cord. Our body constantly shuttles millions of electrical and chemical impulses back and forth from our brain to every cell of our body through the vast network of our nervous system. Any restriction or distortion of these messages (nerve impulses) can affect body function. (Many of these messages are unconscious such as breathing, digestion, and circulation.) If this distortion is not corrected, the long-term effect is degeneration to that part of the body serviced by those restricted messages.  This results in mild to severe pain, lowered resistance to illness, behavioral changes, organ dysfunction, loss of mobility in limbs, and ultimately disease.

 

Dr. Barrett understands and works to address these alignment issues with the NUCCA spinal correction. The main objective of Dr. Barrett is to restore the entire spine back to a balanced, unstressed position because this re-empowers the nervous system and the body’s ability to function at its full potential. With the NUCCA spinal correction, the spinal column remains straight and balanced where the weight of the head is centered over the neck.

 

By utilizing a formula calculated from the patient’s x-rays,Dr. Barrett will apply a slight, pre-determined pressure just below the tip of the ear at the atlas vertebrae (first neck vertebrae) to gently re-position the head over the center of the neck. This NUCCA re-positioning is what restores body balance and removes brain stem compression. Immediately, muscles begin to relax, blood and oxygen circulation is increased, healing messages are transmitted from the brain to the affected area and the body’s self-healing process begins. The NUCCA spinal correction requires NO FORCEFUL TWISTING, POPPING, OR CRACKING, and is barely felt by the patient.  For more information, go to www.nucca.com.
