Many people might
equate that title with something as bad as a root canal.
I
suppose it took a while for me to learn that education can be as much

as a wild kayak ride down a fast river (wear your helmet and have
some good self-rescue techniques available).
This year in the Upper
Cervical Chiropractic Diplomate program, our group of over 30 doctors
from all over the USA and Canada have been at the cutting edge of
research and physiology.
There is ample evidence (MRI) that when the
atlas is misaligned and the spine is out of balance, we’re not just
experiencing “stenosis” or narrowing of the spinal segments, but
also stenosis of the spinal cord just under the skull. That’s one
big pinched nerve! We call that a “subluxation,” which is the
technical term for a bone out of place causing interference to nerve
tissue. Here at 1st Step Chiropractic, S.C., we focus on restoring function by removing the subluxation using the NUCCA procedure. Spread the word! There IS hope!
