On her 4th birthday, Larkin was too sick with a migraine to play with her friends and watched the party from inside.

Years later, while pregnant with twins, she became paralyzed from the neck down. After countless tests and no answers, she finally visited a chiropractor. Looking at her X-rays, she could tell her atlas was "slammed up against" her vertebrae.

Her story is a reminder that years of suffering don't always have to become your "normal."

🔋 When the Body Can’t Recharge: Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

CFS is more than just feeling tired. Sometimes, past injuries—from car accidents, sports impacts, or falls—can subtly affect the upper neck vertebrae, which protect the brainstem. Even small misalignments here may influence how the brain and body communicate, impacting energy, sleep, and stress response.

Research shows connections between the upper cervical spine and improved quality of life measures, including physical functioning, vitality, and mental health, after careful upper cervical evaluation and alignment.

At Advanced Spinal Care, Dr. Craig Lapenski uses NUCCA, a gentle and precise approach to assess the top of the spine and its relationship to brain-body communication.

Why are pre- and post-correction X-rays so important in the NUCCA procedure?

In this video, Dr. Craig Lapenski explains why imaging is an essential part of providing precise upper cervical care.

By taking images before a correction, the exact alignment of the upper cervical spine can be measured. After the correction, additional images are used to evaluate how the structures responded and whether the desired correction was achieved.

This process, called intraprocedural imaging, provides objective feedback that helps guide care and distinguish the NUCCA procedure through its emphasis on precision.

If you've ever wondered why imaging is such an important part of NUCCA care, this video explains the reasoning behind it.

“Dr. Lapenski is a great doctor. He uses an advanced technique called NUCCA that corrects the problem instead of masking symptoms. He studies every case in depth to get the best results. Highly recommend.”

NUCCA focuses on precise alignment of the upper cervical spine, allowing the nervous system to communicate efficiently with your body. This means real, long-term results—not just temporary relief.

💡 Don’t just manage symptoms—address the root cause with expert care.

Justin’s biggest concern when he came in wasn’t just neck discomfort—it was chronic headaches that started showing up over time 🤕

What made it more frustrating was that this wasn’t something he had dealt with his whole life.

He explained that he had been healthy for years, rarely ever needing medication… then about 2 years ago, the headaches began to appear more frequently.

At first, there wasn’t a clear answer:

👉 Multiple tests came back inconclusive
👉 He was offered medications, but didn’t want to go that route
👉 The cause was never fully explained

Over time, the headaches became more noticeable—and harder to ignore.

That’s what eventually led him to look into upper cervical / NUCCA care 🧠

After starting care, he began noticing changes within just a few weeks:

✨ Less frequent headaches
✨ Reduced intensity
✨ More days feeling normal again

When something disrupts your life that suddenly, finding the right cause matters most.

After everything Britta went through following her car accident — the pain, the treatments that didn’t last, and the frustration of not getting better — she has a simple message for others in a similar situation:

“What do you have to lose, really?”

She encourages people to stay open-minded and invest in their health, even when they feel skeptical or unsure.

For her, NUCCA care at Advanced Spinal Care was what finally made the difference. 💙

🔋 Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

CFS is more than just feeling tired. Unlike normal fatigue, rest often doesn’t restore energy, leaving people feeling drained no matter how much they sleep.

Research shows that some chronic fatigue may be linked to undetected injuries or misalignments in the upper neck, which can affect brainstem function—the area that helps the body “recharge.”

At Advanced Spinal Care, Dr. Craig Lapenski uses NUCCA, a gentle and precise upper cervical evaluation method, to assess alignment and how the brain communicates with the body.

When Larry first came to Advanced Spinal Care, he wasn't adjusted on the first visit.

He came in on Monday for a consultation and detailed imaging. Then he returned on Tuesday for his first NUCCA correction.

One thing immediately stood out:

There was no twisting. No popping. No cracking.

"It was strange coming to a chiropractor that doesn't bend, twist, pop, or tweak."

The correction was so gentle that Larry said it almost felt like nothing had happened...

Until he stood up.

He says he noticed about 25% relief immediately after his first correction.
