🤕 Concussion Care: More Than Just a Bump on the Head

If you’ve had a head or neck injury — whether from a fall, collision, or sports impact — it’s important to know what happens behind the scenes. A concussion isn’t just a brief headache: it can disrupt how your brain and body communicate.

When the upper cervical spine (especially the atlas bone) is misaligned after trauma, it can place pressure on the brainstem and interfere with blood, cerebrospinal fluid and nerve flow.

Common signs to watch for:
• Headache, dizziness or vertigo
• Blurry vision or sound sensitivity
• Brain fog, trouble concentrating
• Neck pain or stiffness
• Persistent symptoms longer than 15 minutes after injury
✅ How NUCCA Upper Cervical Care Can Help

• Assessment of upper neck alignment and trauma history
• Gentle, precise corrections that avoid twisting or cracking
• Restored communication between brain and body
• Support for healing beyond just “getting back to normal”

If you’ve had a head or neck impact and still feel off — you may need more than rest.

🌿 Debbie’s NUCCA Surprise: “I couldn’t believe how easy it was.” 🌿

When Debbie came in for her first NUCCA correction, she wasn’t sure what to expect. She thought it might feel like traditional chiropractic or something more intense.

Instead, she was shocked by how gentle it was.

💬 “It’s not invasive at all. You don’t really feel anything during the correction… but you definitely feel the results afterward.”

That’s the power of NUCCA:
✨ Extremely precise
✨ No twisting, popping, or cracking
✨ Gentle enough that patients often don’t feel it
✨ Yet powerful enough to shift the body back toward balance

Debbie felt the changes as she went about her day — her posture, her movement, her comfort. Her entire body responded.

Sometimes the smallest correction creates the biggest impact. 💚

If you’ve been hesitant because you’re unsure what NUCCA feels like, Debbie’s experience says it all:
Gentle approach. Big results.

40 Years of Nagging Neck & Back Pain… Finally Turning Around
“Things are supposed to be breaking down as I get older… but I’m getting better.”
Chris suffered a whiplash injury playing soccer in college and dealt with chronic neck and back pain for nearly 40 years.
It wasn’t debilitating — about a 3–4/10 most days — but it was constant.
Stiff neck. Nagging backache. Hot showers every morning just to loosen up.
He tried everything:
✔️ Stretching
✔️ Floor exercises
✔️ Physical therapy
✔️ 7–8 chiropractors over the years
✔️ 2 years at one office going multiple times per week
Nothing truly resolved it.
Then he found NUCCA care at Advanced Spinal Care.
His results weren’t instant — and that’s important to know.
For Chris, improvement was gradual.
➡️ Within the first couple of weeks, his neck felt more stable and aligned.
➡️ By 3 months, his stamina dramatically improved.
➡️ He can now work longer, handle heavy tasks, and stay engaged throughout the day.
➡️ His blood pressure dropped 20 points on the top number.
He originally came in for back pain relief.
What he gained was improved nervous system function, better energy, and a greater quality of life.
“I’m more engaged with my wife. More productive at work. I just feel better.”
If you’ve been managing symptoms for years and assuming “this is just how it is,” it may be time to look deeper.
Your spine affects more than just pain.
Now might be the right time to have your neck examined.

✨ When the Hips Align… Everything Changes ✨

One of the biggest breakthroughs in Suzanne’s care was discovering how much her headaches and hip pain were connected — and how it all traced back to her upper cervical alignment.

When her atlas is out of place, her hips begin to rotate.
And when her hips rotate, the headaches, the hip pain, and the discomfort all start creeping back in.

But when everything is corrected and back in alignment?

💙 Her headaches stay at bay
💙 Her hip pain settles down
💙 Her body finally functions the way it’s meant to

That’s the power of NUCCA — addressing the source, not just the symptoms. When the top of the spine is balanced, the rest of the body can follow.

🌪️ Migraines and Your Upper Neck: What You Might Be Missing
If you’ve been battling migraines, neck tightness, or headaches that seem to come from nowhere — it might not just be “bad luck.” Recent research and patient experience highlight a strong link between the top bones of your neck (upper cervical spine) and migraine episodes.

When the atlas (C1) is misaligned, it can affect nerve flow, blood circulation to the brain, and how your body handles pain. The good news: a gentle, precise approach like NUCCA upper cervical care can help restore alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and support long-term relief.

“I came in with a walker… and I walked out on my own.”

Julie’s story is one we’ll never forget.

Years ago, Julie experienced a sudden spinal injury that left her temporarily paralyzed. She lost all feeling from the mid-back down, had to relearn how to walk, and was told there were no clear answers as to what had happened. In her 30s, she was facing the very real possibility of spending her life in a wheelchair.

Through NUCCA care, Julie regained sensation, strength, and mobility — walking again when doctors didn’t know if she ever would.

After moving to this area, a car accident led her to try traditional chiropractic care, but the results weren’t there. Knowing what had worked before, she searched for NUCCA again and found Dr. Lapenski at Advanced Spinal Care — just minutes from home.

The results were familiar and life-changing once again.

✨ From a walker to walking independently
✨ From fear and uncertainty to confidence and movement
✨ From surviving to truly living

Julie’s story is a powerful reminder of how vital proper spinal alignment and brain-body communication are to overall health.

If you or someone you love feels like you’ve “tried everything,” this may be the missing piece.

🎥 Watch Julie share her full journey in her own words.
