If you’ve been dealing with headaches for a while, you know how disruptive they can be. From feeling like you can’t focus to the extreme pain, headaches can stop you from doing what you love. As tempting as it may be, ignoring headaches isn’t a great option. They may be a sign of underlying issues that need to be addressed. One solution that’s helped many people find relief is NUCCA or upper cervical chiropractic care.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what NUCCA is, how to know if it’s right for you, and how it can help eliminate that persistent headache once and for all.
What is a Headache?
A headache is a painful condition in the head or upper neck area. Headache disorders are the most common nervous system condition, affecting people of all ages, races, and income levels. According to the World Health Organization, nearly half of the world’s adult population has had at least one headache in the past year.
Headaches can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, fatigue, muscle strain, and more. While medications can treat headaches, they often temporarily relieve and mask the underlying issues. NUCCA chiropractic offers a more holistic approach to treating headaches by addressing the root cause of the problem.
What is NUCCA?
NUCCA, short for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association, is a technique chiropractors use to align the upper spine. It was first developed in the 1960s and focuses on the two vertebrae at the top of the spine.
The goal of NUCCA is to realign the head with the neck and the rest of the spine. Doing so can reduce or eliminate the pressure on nerves contributing to headaches and other ailments.
Is NUCCA Right for You?
NUCCA is a gentle, non-invasive technique, making it an excellent option for most people dealing with headaches. If you want to see how NUCCA can help you, the first step is to schedule a consultation with a NUCCA chiropractor, such as Nimbus Brain & Spine, with Dr. Vivek Soham. During this appointment, Dr. Soham’s team will evaluate your spine and determine if NUCCA is the right choice for you.
How Can NUCCA Help Get Rid of Headaches?
Headaches are often caused by pressure or irritation of the nerves in the neck and head. By realigning the spine with NUCCA, this pressure can be reduced, and, in many cases, headaches can be eliminated.
In fact, studies have shown that NUCCA can be effective in treating headaches, both in frequency and intensity. One study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Pediatrics found that NUCCA significantly reduced migraine pain in over 50% of participants.
