In order to be a candidate for a NUCCA spinal correction, examination of the patient must reveal postural distortion. In other words, the human body must be out of proper relationship with the gravitational field of earth. What causes the postural distortion? At some point in your life, your body experienced a physical trauma. Some past traumas include: the delivery procedures of childbirth, the falls of infancy and childhood, sport injuries, and the various traumas of adolescence and adulthood. If the trauma is sufficient to misalign the atlas out of its normal position, there's a disturbance to nerve impulses from centers in the brain stem imbalances skeletal muscles which stresses the spine and related structures into an adapted unnatural position. This imbalance distorts the pelvis, drawing one leg short, deviates the spine out of its vertical position in an upright posture, and creates fixations of the ligaments between any of the vertebrae. This mechanical distortion is measured by utilizing five different avenues: leg length disparity = the "short leg" phenomenon; hip height distortion and rotation = muscular imbalance; deviation into the frontal plane = body distortion; displacement of the center of gravity = spinal misalignment; and visual inspection = head tilt, uneven shoulders, restricted range of motion, and pelvic imbalance. The subluxated spine is progressive, degenerative, and accelerates the aging process of the spinal structures. Correcting and stabilizing a spine may require a number of adjustments over time.
