Muscle Memory
Turn Short-Term Relief Into A Lasng Recovery!
Many patients presenting to our
clinic relate how their actual injury
occurred years before. In most
cases, these patients’ bodies have
adapted to their new asymmetrical
position long before they see
us. For patients to sustainably recover
from difficult neck injuries,
we need to understand muscle
memory and make it work for us.
As a NUCCA chiropractor, we
want you to enjoy life more and
need less care overtime. Maintaining
your NUCCA correction
is the best way to have fewer return
visits, reduce your health
care expenses, and be able to get
on with your life. Perhaps you’ve

memory, but if you’re like most
people, you might not really understand

One of the most frustrating things
for patients, and NUCCA chiropractors
alike, is when patients
aren’t able to hold their spinal
correction. For you as a patient,
this often means more return visits
to manage your health issues.
For NUCCA chiropractors, it tells
us that you don’t yet have the
physical ability to handle the
stressors of life without ‘blowing
