How to achieve a Balanced Spine...
The Doctors of The Balanced Spine practice a very precise and corrective form of body balancing Chiropractic known as NUCCA. NUCCA stands for The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. NUCCA is unique from most Chiropractic practices in that it works with the body’s central balancing mechanisms that maintain a person’s abilities to function in a gravity environment. It is the feedback to the brainstem from the eyes, ears and proprioception (the body’s position sense – what allows you to walk without watching your feet each step of the way) that allows the human body to maintain an upright posture under the constant stress of gravity. When this ability to balance the body is compromised, a person’s frame breaks down and the spine locks into a stressed position. This shows up during an exam as a high and a low hip, rotated hips and a spine that is locked into a distorted position.
Most Chiropractors, upon encountering this patient will focus on restoring motion to the individual segments of the spine that exhibit the most obvious effects from this postural and spinal distortion. These attempts to restore motion utilizing twisting cracking or popping is the typical way people think of chiropractic, however this fails to address the initial cause of the body imbalance and therefore may fail to produce lasting results and a correction to the problem.
The NUCCA technique is able to restore body balance and the distortions created by a disruption of the body’s central balancing mechanisms by correcting the positioning of the head and neck eliminating the need for the body to break down into the stressed and locked position that has occurred.
It is typically accidents and injuries to the head and neck that result in this problem arising. Traumatic births, auto accidents and slips and falls can all be the initial cause of body imbalance and then repetitive stress, sedentary activity and further injury can exacerbate the body imbalance.
The most common symptoms that arise from body imbalance that respond well to NUCCA care are, head , neck and jaw (TMJ) pain, migraines, upper, middle and lower back pain and sciatica. Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are less obvious results of body imbalance. A recent study in the Journal of Human Hypertension (2007, May;21(5)) is also beginning to prove how NUCCA patients have been achieving overall physiologic and health benefits over the past 60 years.
NUCCA care and The Balanced Spine is not a guaranteed answer for all patients, however unresolved spinal distortion and body imbalance makes it impossible for someone to be as well as they should be. Those people who are interested in better performance and achieving their best health and wellness can benefit from seeing if NUCCA care at The Balanced Spine is right for them. Let us know if you would like to investigate whether your health problem is related to something that can be corrected, or if you are just interested in improving your health, wellness and performance.
