What is NUCCA and Advanced Orthogonal?
The NUCCA and Advanced Orthogonal Approach:
A Gentle Correction A gentle touch and controlled contact on the first vertebra in the neck is designed to restore balance to the spine and nervous system. Even though the adjustment is administered at the neck, the efforts of the correction influences the whole spine and ALL body systems.
This is because the NUCCA and Advanced Orthogonal procedures influence one of the highest control centers of body balance and healing, the brain stem and central nervous system.
The C-1 vertebra, also known as the Atlas, is a small donut–like bone located at the top of the spine and the base of the skull that surrounds the brain stem. When the spine is subjected to stress it can become misaligned.
This phenomenon is known as the Atlas Subluxation Complex Syndrome (ASC) or ASC syndrome. Implications on Your Health: The nerves in the spinal column are very sensitive to pressure and stress. When the spine becomes misaligned sufficiently, it stresses the nerves which compromises the transmission of information between the brain and the body. Ultimately, nerve pressure will alter function throughout the entire body.
