Everyone in the office is very professional and caring. The upper cervical adjustment is extremely gentle and feels like a tickle behind your ear. This is because NUCCA does not use direct force to correct malalignment but instead uses a wave form of energy that is so gentle that my 3 year thinks it's silly. I first tried taking him when he was 2 years old to help his persistent torticollis, but he was very anxious and began crying hysterically. Dr. K. suggested we wait until he's ready. For the next year he accompanied me to my visits and Dr. K. spent a few minutes each visit interacting with him to build up trust. Once he trusted her, the x-Rays were a breeze and the adjustment became a fun game. We started to see some improvements in his head position after just 3 visits. He had gone through PT but we just couldn't correct the last 10degrees of his tilt. Most people couldn't notice his head tilt, but as his mother and a pediatric PT, it was very obvious to me and I knew the implications that an uncorrected tilt would have on his visual and motor development. I'm happy to say that his head is now tilted a mere 2degrees! Thank you Dr. Kleinfelter. As for my own health, I do believe that NUCCA was a critical part of my recovery from chronic digestive problems, osteopenia and occasional low back and shoulder pain. One year before starting NUCCA, my bone scans showed that I was reversing my osteopenia through a paleo diet alone so I can't say NUCCA helped me there, but it definitely helped to improve my energy, brain fog, and low back and shoulder problems. I'm currently going once every 6-8 weeks and feel great. I believe correct spinal alignment is a critical part of any well-rounded treatment program, but never underestimate the power of a healthy diet. Food is medicine! We noticed that I would fall out of alignment whenever I experienced a severe food reaction, likely because of the widespread inflammation it caused. The malalignmemt would often lead to back and shoulder pain. It was eye-opening to see how everything is connected.
