• N.U.C.C.A.

stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. www.nucca.org
• Accidents and injuries can weaken connective tissues and lock us in a stressed position
• This stressed position, that of being off of perfect body alignment, can lead to pain and dysfunction throughout our body.
• N.U.C.C.A. is a procedure which is designed to influence one of the highest control centers over body balan

ce; the brain stem and central nervous system.
• N.U.C.C.A. is a highly effective way to restore balance to the spine.
• Balance leads to healing weak areas and gaining strength to our entire body.
• N.U.C.C.A. does not involve “popping” or “cracking”. The adjustment is often described as gentle.

Have you ever had that feeling that something keeps coming back no matter how many times you address it?

For Dr. Barbara Read, that question became deeply personal long before she opened Read Health Center in Ames. Her story started with a whiplash injury at 12 years old, but the bigger turning point came later—while she was in chiropractic school and feeling frustrated by how often the same area seemed to need attention again and again.

Then she experienced upper cervical care for herself, and it changed the direction of her career.

If you’ve ever wondered why some issues feel like they keep repeating, Dr. Read’s story is worth hearing.
