If your stenosis won’t improve no matter what you try… you’re probably looking in the wrong area.
Most people assume stenosis is only a lower back problem.
But here’s the truth that rarely gets talked about:
👉 A misaligned atlas (C1) can create the exact mechanical stress that leads to lumbar stenosis.
When your head isn’t centered, your entire spine shifts to compensate.
Your pelvis tilts…
One side of your low back overloads…
Your discs compress unevenly…
And the canal narrows more and more over time.
That’s why the real question isn’t:
“Do I have stenosis?”
But instead:
“What’s causing my spine to keep compressing?”
You’re a strong candidate for NUCCA if you notice any of the following:
✔ Stenosis symptoms that keep coming back
✔ One-sided leg pain, numbness, or heaviness
✔ A pelvis that feels tilted or uneven
✔ A history of whiplash, car accidents, or falls
✔ Chronic posture imbalance
✔ Relief that never lasts — no matter the treatment
