Hi, Omaha! Ever since I opened the doors to my practice in fall of 2009, we have enjoyed offering NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic care to people from all over metro-Omaha. And from other areas of Nebraska, and other state like Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and South Dakota. It has been a pleasant challenge to keep up with the demand!
After spending time away from Nebraska in order to further my training, it is good to be back offering the form of care that has positively impacted my own life, and the life of my family. I look forward to serving you in the near future.
Here are a few things you may want to know about me:
- I graduated With Honors from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2009 in Davenport, Iowa, with a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree. I attended Palmer with the intention of studying the NUCCA procedures.
- I am licensed to practice chiropractic in the state of Nebraska, which I do in my Omaha practice, and at West Holt Medical Services, located in Atkinson, Nebraska.
- I am a member of the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association, and I attend NUCCA’s bi-annual conferences in order to keep with the latest developments in our procedures.
- I am a graduate of Creighton University.
- In the past I was a professional dancer in New York, and therefore I have a special concern for the care of anyone who places extraordinary demands on their body as I did.
- I was first introduced to NUCCA care as I was seeking natural alternatives for my thyroid disease.
NUCCA? What’s that?
It’s a common question since most people haven’t heard of it. There are only 300 of us in the entire world. In NUCCA we take 3 x-rays of your head and neck, use a lot of math and physics to determine each person’s particular “listing”. It’s a gentle, specific correction in the upper neck that takes the pressure off of the lower brain stem so that it and the entire nervous system can function the way they are supposed to.
Hyperthyroid disease and my struggle
So, who goes to a NUCCA doctor? Anyone with any health condition they want help with. In 2000-01 I had hyperthyroid disease and eventually got help from a NUCCA doctor. I had lost a lot of weight, couldn’t sleep at night, couldn’t dance anymore and had moved from New York City back to Omaha to get well. My medical doctors had done all they could for me, except remove my thyroid gland surgically, and I was still sick. A friend who was studying NUCCA recommended that I go see a NUCCA doctor. So I went to Des Moines, IA to see the only NUCCA doctor in the area. She took the x-rays, gave me the correction and I was immediately calm and sleepy. I slept all night that night, which was something I had been unable to do in over a year.
I continued to feel better, gain muscle mass, and sleep longer. My thyroid levels normalized and I was performing with a dance company again. I continued to see this doctor about 4 times per year to be checked. She taught me how to hold my correction so that I didn’t need to visit her very often.
My inspiration to practice NUCCA in Omaha
I was healthy again and off of all medication and my family and friends were getting great results too. Eventually I decided that I wanted to help people regain and maintain their health with NUCCA so I went to chiropractic school so I could share this best-kept secret of health with my community. Good health starts from within with a balanced body and a correctly working nervous system and NUCCA provides this for people of all ages and all states of health.
