Research specialists are now studying how NUCCA doctors are able to affect the circulation in and out of the brain.  A pilot study is now underway to study blood flow changes in migraine patients.

There are only 250 NUCCA doctors in the U.S., and Licata Chiropractic, Inc in Arcadia, CA is proud to be one of the few in California.

If you suffer from migraines and want to see if NUCCA care is right for you, call (626) 446-3400 for a complementary consultation with the doctor.  Spaces are limited.

Did you know women are three times more likely to suffer from migraines than men?  The cause for the increase in risk is still not known.  Migraines are usually located on one side of the head, and accompanied by nausea, visual changes and even vomiting.

Migraines are known to be related to changes in blood flow in and out of the brain. This is why certain foods that contain caffeine (which cause blood vessels to expand) can often trigger migraines.

NUCCA spinal care in Arcadia, CA focusses on correcting misalignments at the base of the  head.  We have found that migraine symptoms are most often improved with NUCCA care.  Preliminary MRI research is showing positive changes in blood flow after a NUCCA correction.

“Good Posture” has been difficult to define, and many factors have been identified relating to posture.  One research group, the Upper Cervical Research Foundation (UCRF), has been able to show a strong relationship between the posture and the Occipito-atlanto-axial joint complex.

The Anatometer machine is the only postural measuring instrument approved by the UCRF organization.  It collects data for research and will be included in all future research projects.

Early research resulted in a three dimensional anatomical view of posture showing the undeniable effects of a C-1

subluxation: most commonly a pelvic tilt, in the frontal plane, coupled with a transverse plane rotation and translation.

We are proud to have the Anatometer available for all of our patients, and plan to use it for future practice-based research.

While many posture instruments are available, only one has been shown to consistintly measure the body in 3-Dimensions with the sufficient accuracy and precision.  This is teh called the Anatometer, produced by the Banesh Corporation in Monroe, Michigan.

The Anatometer measure twists in the spine, pelvis and legs  with unparalleled precision. These postural faults are directly related to many spinal conditions, as well as recurring chronic pain.  These faults are often left undetected by medical doctors, physical therapists, and even general chiropractors.

If you suspect you may have bad posture, or suffer from chronic pain call to schedule a free consultation today.
