At Wasatch Spinal Care, we specialize in providing our patients with the highest level of care, focusing on natural and non-invasive methods to restore health and wellness. One of our unique offerings is NUCCA Chiropractic—a highly specialized technique designed to correct spinal misalignments through gentle and precise adjustments.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, headaches, or posture issues, NUCCA care offers a path toward lasting relief and balance. Dr. Chad Frandsen and his experienced team are proud to bring this innovative, patient-centered approach to the Sandy, UT community.

NUCCA stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association, and it focuses on correcting misalignments in the upper cervical spine, particularly the atlas vertebra (C1). This vertebra is crucial since it supports the head and influences the entire alignment of the spine. Even the slightest misalignment in this region can disrupt communication between the brain and body, potentially leading to pain, discomfort, and reduced function.

NUCCA care emphasizes precision over force, meaning adjustments are subtle but highly effective. Patients often describe the experience as gentle and relaxing, with minimal pressure applied during treatment.

The foundation of NUCCA chiropractic care lies in identifying subtle shifts in the spine and restoring the body’s natural balance without cracking or popping. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1.Thorough Assessment:

•We begin by conducting extensive diagnostics, including X-rays and postural assessments, to identify any misalignments and asymmetries in your spine.

2.Precise Correction:

•Dr. Frandsen uses these measurements to perform a highly accurate, tailored adjustment to the atlas vertebra.

3.Restoring Balance:

•Once corrected, the nervous system can function optimally, allowing the body to heal naturally from within. Patients often experience improved mobility, pain relief, and better posture.

4.Ongoing Care:

•Follow-up assessments ensure that your body holds the alignment, with minimal future adjustments needed. Our goal is lasting relief and long-term wellness.

NUCCA chiropractic care has proven effective for a wide range of health concerns, especially those that involve the nervous system and spinal health. Below are some of the most common conditions we treat at Wasatch Spinal Care:

•Chronic Headaches and Migraines:

Misalignment in the upper cervical spine can place pressure on nerves and blood vessels, leading to tension headaches or migraines.

•Neck Pain and Stiffness:

Many patients suffering from persistent neck pain find relief after a gentle NUCCA adjustment.

•Back Pain and Sciatica:

Even lower back pain can be linked to misalignments in the upper cervical spine, as the entire body compensates for the imbalance.

•Posture Issues:

Poor posture often begins with a misaligned atlas vertebra. Correcting this alignment helps patients stand and sit more naturally, reducing strain on muscles and joints.

•Vertigo and Dizziness:

Restoring upper cervical alignment can significantly reduce vestibular issues, such as vertigo, by improving brain-body communication.

•Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders:

Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can contribute to TMJ dysfunction, causing jaw pain and headaches.
