I have had about 10 NUCCA treatments. They definitely are not the neck crack and crunch variety. In fact, if the chiropractors wrist did not pop, I would have wondered if he did anything at all. He/she will likely give you 5 to 10 gentle pressure pushes against the proper spot for each treatment. The chiro stands up, takes a breath, then does the next gentle pressure.

In Atlas Orthagonal, they usually use a mechanical device to exert the gentle pressure.

The pressure is no more than it would take to squash a grape. If you can afford it, it is worth a try. I was correct in diagnosing my own out of position Atlas with the most misaligned area being the left side.

MediCare was supposed to pay 50% of the Chiropractic Manipulative Treatments but the Medicare Advantage company I have has refused. I now need to file an appeal to get them to pay up.

Definitely, do not be afraid of getting torqued and cracked. Not with NUCCA.
