It’s all about leverage
Archimedes is credited with “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.”
Much of the work we do in NUCCA is based upon this scientific fact. If we were to take a 2 ton boulder and place in on the ground 20 people would have a hard time moving it. Yet, if we were to take a crane and pick up the boulder, and place on a teeter totter.. what then? Any person could come along and create movement of that boulder with the force of their index finger.
This is NUCCA care at its core. Your head/boulder weighs 14 lbs and sits on a 2 oz. lever called the atlas. We take accurate measurements to determine where your boulder has gone in space. Based on those measurements and using laws of physics and biomechanics we create a formula on how to return your boulder back to its proper position. Since we are using leverage instead of excessive force a patient perceives very little during the adjustment. The NUCCA adjustment requires no more pressure than the amount felt when the pulse is taken at the wrist. However, delivery of the vectored force has been measured to be upwards of 30 lbs… with a depth of only 1/8 inch.
Picture Newton’s Cradle…. Its that adornment you sometimes see on desktops with the set of 5 metal sphere suspended by wires. Pull pack and release the first ball, it strikes the stationary 4, but only the last sphere moves.
