The Upper Cervical Spine and Your Nervous System
The upper cervical spine is the region where the skull meets the neck. It includes the occiput and the first two cervical vertebrae — the atlas and axis — and surrounds an anatomically important transition between the brainstem and spinal cord.
NUCCA is an upper cervical chiropractic approach that uses detailed assessment and precise measurements to evaluate this region and determine when an upper cervical correction may be appropriate.
NUCCA uses a gentle, highly specific approach rather than forceful twisting or cracking of the neck.

What is NUCCA?
NUCCA stands for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. It is a specialized chiropractic procedure focused on the relationship between the head and upper cervical spine, using detailed assessment and precise measurements to guide care.
Assess
We begin with a detailed history and examination to understand your concerns and evaluate how your body is functioning.
Analyze
When clinically indicated, imaging and precise measurements help evaluate the alignment of the upper cervical spine.
Correct
NUCCA uses a gentle, calculated upper cervical correction without twisting or cracking the neck.
Reassess
Following the correction, we reassess your alignment and response to determine the appropriate next steps.
The NUCCA procedure is designed around careful analysis, specific positioning and a calculated correction of the upper cervical spine.

More than 20 years of upper cervical chiropractic experience in Calgary.
My approach to chiropractic has always centred on precision. For more than two decades, I have focused on upper cervical care and the NUCCA procedure, working with patients who are looking for a careful, individualized approach to their care.
My goal is to understand what is happening before deciding what should be done. That means taking the time to assess, measure and explain what I find so that patients understand both the process and the reasoning behind their care.
