The NUCCA doctor's work is based on the Restoration Principle. This is his/her concern for the patient.
While medical doctors base their treatment on making an exact diagnosis, the NUCCA doctor bases
his/her services to the patient on an accurate analysis of the Atlas subluxation and its restoration to normal position,
a process which helps the sick body to effectively combat its disease processes.
This is the process of self-healing and is evident in every and any disease which the body contracts.

It has been truly said that man is his nervous system. He feels with it; sees with it; hears with it; detects and identifies odors with it;
thinks with it, it relates him to his environment; it shapes his personality; he digests his food under its control;
circulates his blood under its regulation; breathes because of its influence; it regulates his heart action;
causes his organs to work and his body to move; its gray matter is the source of his life.
In short, the extent to which man functions and the degree to which he lives depends on the activity of his nervous system.

Misaligned cervical vertebrae at the base of the skull change the electro-chemical flow of impulses through the nervous system,
harmfully affecting normal functions at all levels of the body and causing bodily distortions and disease.
When these misalignments occur, interfering with the normal electro-chernical nerve energy flow, their correction is essential to a patient's ability to heal.

The examination, analysis, and restoration of these misaligned vertebrae and their harmful effects on the body constitutes the service rendered by the NUCCA doctor.
