The goal for the first visit is to:
- Find out what is going on with you
- To see if we help you.
We start with a consultation to go over
- your health challenges
- your health goals
- a complete history
Next, we do some simple checks to see if you might be a candidate for the NUCCA procedure.
If the checks show that you are misaligned, I will recommend an exam to determine exactly what is going on.
The exam includes 50-60 different orthopedic, neurologic, and chiropractic exams to again, answer the two questions, "what is going on?", and "Can NUCCA help you?" If I cannot help you, I will try to find someone who can.
Finally, after the exam, if I believe that NUCCA can help you, I will recommend precise upper cervical x-rays to see where the structures are at.
The goal of the x-rays are to find the starting point on how to correct your spine.
There are three views that we take to give us a three dimensional view of where the atlas is in relationship to the rest of your neck and head.
