Dr. Burt will walk you through the NUCCA Chiropractic Assessment (60 min) to determine if you have an upper cervical (neck) misalignment and would benefit from NUCCA treatment.
The assessment includes a postural & cervical x-ray exam.
NUCCA’s unique x-ray series is measured down to 1/10th of a degree using advanced spinal software, showing Dr. Burt exactly how to gently correct your upper cervical misalignment.
The NUCCA realignment is performed at the top of your neck, directed at the first neck bone, C1, the Atlas vertebrae.
The realignment is gentle and does NOT involve any twisting, popping or cracking.
Afterward, it’s recommended you relax in one of our zero-gravity chairs to integrate the realignment.
Immediately following your realignment, x-rays are taken again and compared to your first set, ensuring that your misalignment has improved.
We do NOT take x-rays every visit. Only a pre and a post set.
Dr. Burt will then recommend ~12 follow-up appointments over 3 months to ensure you stabilize and maintain your correct alignment long term.
NUCCA, the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association, is an advanced chiropractic technique that benefits anyone who has suffered a head or neck injury.
Some can definitively say they have had several injuries, while others have experienced injuries unknowingly.
Common injuries include: Concussion, whiplash, car accident(s), falling, sports, and repetitive motion or birth trauma.
When the head or neck is injured, it will compromise the nerve flow from the brain to the rest of the body, causing the body to heal slower.

The only way to know whether you have a misalignment is to have a NUCCA doctor perform a thorough assessment for you.

Although every person is different, most feel immediate relief, while others require a few weeks to notice improvement.
You may know how long you’ve had symptoms, but you may NOT know how long your misalignment has been there.
Truly, healing starts when the pain is gone.
Healing is a process that takes time and is unique to you.
Dr. Burt will provide better insight into what your healing process will look like.
With over 5 decades of clinical observations and research, NUCCA is devoted to providing life-changing results that have impacted, and continue to impact, countless patients, doctors, and students around the world.
NUCCA doctors across the globe have helped people overcome: Migraine headaches, dizziness, and vertigo, specific neuralgias, musculoskeletal pain such as neck and back pain, sciatica, and hormonal imbalances.
It often may seem like these symptoms are all different; however, every nerve in your body (~7 trillion of them) meet at the top of the neck.
When NUCCA doctors are able to restore this region of the body, it’s possible for ANY health condition to improve.
