NUCCA /Upper Spinal Chiropractic :
The NUCCA is unique technique used by chiropractors. It frees the nervous system of interference by using a precise, non-invasive, gentle upper spinal touch. Once the misalignment is understood by the doctor through x-rays, there is no need for further x-rays because correlating the relationship between posture and upper cervical misalignment allows posture to be used thereafter to judge alignment. There is also often less need for repeated corrections.
Functional Medicine:
Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional Medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, Functional Medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

Testimonials
"I wasn't getting any help or relief until I went to my chiropractor who used the NUCCA technique. I was a little hesitant but it helped me so much! I go twice a week and I hardly have any headaches anymore"
" I love my doctor who practices functioning medicine. I went in after getting diagnosed with IIH and none of the medication the normal doctors put me on helped. I was going on a year with no relief and feeling like no doctor would listen to me. I then found my new doctor who wanted to know every single thing even from when I was little. He then did a bunch of weird tests like a genetic test and found out I had Lyme's disease, which can be one of the causes for IIH. I am now getting treated for lymes and do not have any more symptoms of IIH".
