Upper cervical care that targets the root—not just the symptoms.

What if the real problem isn’t where you feel the pain?

Vertigo

If vertigo is disrupting your work, relationships, or sense of safety, you're not alone. You may have been told to see a neurologist, an ENT, or to just wait it out—but nothing has helped long term.

NUCCA care targets the upper cervical spine, where a small misalignment can affect balance, brainstem function, and nervous system communication. By correcting that imbalance, NUCCA can reduce or eliminate vertigo episodes and help restore your confidence in how your body moves through the world.

The spinning stopped. So did the fear.

I came in completely disabled by vertigo. After one NUCCA adjustment, the dizziness and headaches were gone. I still feel the triggers sometimes, but they never turn into episodes. This care changed how I move, feel, and think about my health.

Chronic Back Pain

Struggling with persistent back pain that impacts your daily life, sleep, or mobility? NUCCA care offers a gentle, targeted approach that starts at the top — the upper cervical spine. Misalignments in this area can disrupt the body’s balance and communication systems, placing strain on the back and musculoskeletal system. By restoring alignment, NUCCA helps improve posture, reduce muscle tension, and support long-term relief — especially when back pain stems from poor posture, compensation, or nervous system imbalance. If you're in San Diego and have tried everything without lasting results, a NUCCA assessment can help uncover the root cause and create a personalized, lasting path to healing.

Back pain gone. Life back on track.

Lower back pain used to wake me up at night—and ruin my golf swing. After just one NUCCA adjustment with Dr. Vivek, the pain eased, my mind felt clearer, and I gained 20 yards on my swing. Six months later, my spine is aligned and life feels radically different.

Migraines

If you’ve been told it’s just stress, dehydration, or hormones and still find yourself retreating to dark rooms or canceling plans, you’re not alone. Most treatments focus on managing symptoms, not solving the root cause.

Years of headaches, finally under control.

After a car accident 18 years ago, I lived with constant headaches. I tried medications, Botox, nerve blocks, and even other NUCCA care, but nothing lasted. When I met Dr. Vivek, he treated me like an individual. I now hold my adjustments longer, take fewer medications, and my quality of life has improved more than I imagined.

Chronic Pain

If you’ve been through years of appointments, treatments, and expenses without lasting relief, you’re not alone. Many approaches focus on managing symptoms instead of correcting the source.

NUCCA care begins at the upper cervical spine, where even small misalignments can affect posture, movement, and nervous system function. By restoring alignment, NUCCA helps reduce chronic pain and gives your body a real chance to heal—without relying on medications or endless trial and error.

A decade of pain, finally gone.

After 10 years of chronic pain, failed treatments, and thousands spent on specialists, Jack came to NUCCA as a last resort. With Dr. Vivek’s care, the pain began to lift. Now, he's active, present with his kids, and free from fear. He feels like himself again—for the first time in a decade.

TMJ

TMJ can stem from more than your jaw. NUCCA targets the upper spine, where misalignments can affect nerve signals and muscle tension in your jaw, face, and neck. This gentle, precise care restores balance and helps reduce pain, headaches, and inflammation—without surgery or heavy meds.

We recommend starting with a NUCCA assessment to uncover the real cause of your TMJ symptoms.

TMJ gone. Pain-free again.

I used to wake up with pain in my back, leg, and jaw. Chewing was difficult, and I’d bump into walls from poor balance. After working with Dr. Vivek, I sleep better, move with ease, and my TMJ is completely gone.
