The NUCCA difference

Precision you can measure

NUCCA isn't guesswork. Every step is built on objective measurement — so your correction is specific to your body, and we can prove it's working.

Postural & laser analysis

Laser and postural measurements reveal exactly how your body is compensating for a misalignment.

3D atlas analysis

Precision imaging maps your atlas in three dimensions, so the correction is calculated to fractions of a degree.

A small misalignment at the top of the neck can torque the entire body, even showing up as a 'short' leg.

Your care, step by step

From first visit to lasting stability

  1. 1

    Easy Scheduling

    Call our office or book online to request your initial consultation. Getting started is simple, and we'll let you know early whether NUCCA is likely to be the right fit for you.

  2. 2

    Consultation & Exam

    Your consultation is designed to determine whether we're likely able to help. If you're a good candidate, we follow up with an examination using state-of-the-art postural assessments and precision imaging of the craniocervical junction. Wear comfortable clothing you can move in.

    Your First Adjustment

    Your extended first-adjustment visit lasts about 1–3 hours. After reviewing your imaging and misalignment together, Dr. Radwanski performs a specific, incredibly gentle correction, with no twisting, cracking, or popping. Post-treatment imaging confirms your body is responding exactly as expected.

    Your Correction Visits

    Your initial correction is the longest visit, to be sure proper correction is achieved, essentially making a 'key' that unlocks your misalignment. We re-check your measurements at each visit; as your body holds the correction, we see you less and less.

    We make helping you live your best life our top priority. We won't use fear tactics, and we'll always be honest, because that's what true healthcare should look like. We look forward to meeting you.

Gentle

A specific, light correction, with no twisting, cracking, or popping.

Precise & measured

Imaging before and after every correction verifies the result, one of the only chiropractic techniques that does.

Root-cause focused

We correct the craniocervical misalignment behind your symptoms, not just chase the pain.
