• N.U.C.C.A. stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. www.nucca.org
• Accidents and injuries can weaken connective tissues and lock us in a stressed position
• This stressed position, that of being off of perfect body alignment, can lead to pain and dysfunction throughout our body.
• N.U.C.C.A. is a procedure which is designed to influence one of the highest control centers over body balance; the brain stem and central nervous system.
• N.U.C.C.A. is a highly effective way to restore balance to the spine.
• Balance leads to healing weak areas and gaining strength to our entire body.
• N.U.C.C.A. does not involve “popping” or “cracking”. The adjustment is often described as gentle.
• Patients love that it is non-invasive, accurate and stable. Dr. Barbara Read has been practicing NUCCA for 18 years and is NUCCA board certified. Call us at 515-233-8880 or to learn more visit http://chiropractorames.com/

Testimonial Tuesday!!

Thank you, Dan, for sharing your story of healing with us!

It’s amazing how an upper cervical adjustment with just the atlas bone truly gives the ENTIRE BODY room to heal, even the hips and legs. Dan is gradually having his hips align and even out with his adjustments. This allows for less pain and more free movement, especially with exercising.

Dan says it’s wild that he had never heard of this kind of treatment before, and the following reasons are why!

He describes NUCCA in this video:
- to really be effective ✨
- all natural ✨
- not intrusive ✨

Cheers to reclaiming BALANCE!

Testimonial Tuesday✨✨

Thank you for this story of healing and balance!

This patient was dealing with tightness in the shoulder, upper back, and neck. After trying other chiropractors, massage, and acupuncture, she still felt like something was still missing in caring for the root cause of her discomfort.

She could tell after the very first adjustment with us that her neck was less tight and she could move more freely!

Did you know many people with Meniere’s disease share a history of neck injury? Misalignment in the upper cervical spine can disrupt fluid balance and nerve function in the inner ear, worsening vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Addressing past neck trauma may unlock natural relief and long-term stability for Meniere’s sufferers.
