NUCCA Care in Dayton

NUCCA in DaytonNUCCA is an acronym for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association and is a specialized form of upper cervical care. Unlike traditional chiropractic care, upper cervical care uses a highly specific, light and controlled force to restore misaligned spinal bones to their proper position allowing the nerves to function optimally.

Dr. Goffe is one of only about 10-12 doctors in Ohio that perform this procedure due to the number of hours it takes to learn and perfect this technique. Though he is certified in a wide array of chiropractic techniques, Dr. Goffe has never found a technique that is safer, more comfortable or more effective than the NUCCA procedure.

History of NUCCA

This technique is over 50 years old but is constantly updated with ongoing research. The technique was originally taught by Dr. Ralph Gregory who worked with another pioneering researcher in the chiropractic field – Dr. John Grostic, Sr. Other similar techniques based on the same model include Atlas Orthogonality and Orthospinology.

What Is the Adjustment Process Like?

During NUCCA care, patients lie comfortably on their sides. Dr. Goffe applies a gentle pressure behind the ear at a bone in the spine. There is never any turning or twisting of the head and neck in this procedure. In fact, it is one of the safest, most comfortable and most effective techniques in chiropractic today.

When Can I Expect to See Results?
