It all starts
at the top.

The upper neck plays an important role in how the rest of the body feels and functions.

The Atlas: The Gateway to Well Being

Small misalignments.
Big effects.

The atlas, also called C1, sits at the very top of the spine and helps support the balance of the body.

When this area is out of alignment, it may affect posture, movement, comfort, and how the body functions.

NUCCA care focuses on this upper cervical area with a gentle, precise approach.

Rooted in Science

Precise. Gentle.
Effective.

NUCCA is a focused form of upper cervical care based on specific X-ray measurements. These measurements examine the alignment of the skull over the top two vertebrae, C1 and C2.

This relationship can affect the brainstem and the health of the central nervous system, or CNS. Restoring this relationship toward normal balance helps the whole spine move toward better alignment.

What Our Patients Say

Real relief. Real stories.

He has gently and gradually worked with my neck so that the lump is gone and I have full range of motion. Another benefit of atlas alignment is that lower back pain is greatly reduced too. It all starts at the top.

Hank Whittier

Incredible talent and a gentle touch that saved me from crippling pain. I have my quality of life back again, and I recommend him to anyone who needs that same relief.

Kinner Rennebu

Dr. Dawson is the best. He helped restore quality of life for my daughter and my granddaughter. He and his wife Robin are loving, caring people, and we feel truly blessed to have them in our lives.

Linda Potts

When I first found Dr. Dawson and Robin, I was in a lot of pain and felt like so many things in my body were "broken", even breathing was an effort. The care was gentle, patient, and personal. I started getting mobility back and feeling better than I had in a long time. They truly care about the people they help.
