It is difficult to explain, but NUCCA is not the typical chiropractic care.
here is a partial description: https://northdallasspinecenter.com/understanding-the-nucca-technique-a-precise-approach-to-spinal-health/
Instead of seeing the chiropractor for a series of adjustments to treat a specific pain, a NUCCA chiropractor does a full analysis of your spine, and works to align it from the top down. At first this can take a few sessions, but once in alignment, it tends to stay that way for months, or even years - unless you get an injury that knocks things out.
We have been using NUCCA for 3-4 years, and it has alleviated most of my back & neck pain and all of my hip/sciatic pain. By having my spine in better alignment, I have been able to pursue PT and exercise to recover from shoulder surgery with results my ortho proclaims as extraordinary. Having my top vertebrae in proper place has also alleviated vertigo that has plagued me all my life.
At this point we only see him 2-3 times a year to be sure everything is okay, especially before or after long driving/camping trip. Or last year, I saw him after a hard fall, and surprise, while I was bruised and battered, my spine was still aligned.
