Headaches, Neck Pain, Car Accident Whiplash, Mild traumatic brain Injury, & post concussion Syndrome. NUCCA is a SAFE GENTLE EFFECTIVE and highly SPECIALIZED image guided procedure leading the way in correcting head neck misalignment. The restoration principal states there is a normal alignment to the human frame.
NUCCA recognizes the critical relationship between the upper cervical spine (neck) and the central nervous system and brain stem function. When the top vertebrae of the spine (called the Atlas) is misaligned, it can result in stress, tension and pressure on the entire nervous system. This can impact all functions of the body, from breathing, to digestion, to circulation.

The NUCCA procedure is unique because it frees the nervous system of interference by using a precise, non-invasive, gentle touch technique. NUCCA can help you feel better regardless of your circumstances because your central nervous system affects all human function, therefore when it is inhibited, varying conditions or problems may result, but when it's clear, optimal health and well-being can be realized.
In the car crash patients we see in our Vancouver, BC chiropractic office, the most common symptom reported is neck pain. During a crash, the head is often whipped around violently and that can easily injure the cervical spine. However, Nucca Clinic works with many auto injury patients, and has years of experience diagnosing and treating these cases.
Headache is another common problem Nucca Clinic works with in our Vancouver chiropractic office. Many headaches actually originate in the neck, and so it's not surprising that it's a symptom that is frequently experienced after a car crash. The course of treatment for your headache after an auto injury will be dependent on what caused the problem in the first place.
Neck pain is a common problem in our society, and Nucca Clinic is here to help. Neck pain can be caused from work or auto injuries, poor posture, or just everyday stress and strains. At Nucca Clinic, we've helped many patients in Vancouver, BC recover from neck pain, no matter the cause.

A month after suffering a concussion and adhering to professional medical advice (rest, Tylenol for the pain, etc.), I began to notice that my symptoms were progressively getting worse (brain fog, blurry vision, anxiety, shortness of breath, etc.).Therefore, I did my own research and learned that NUCCA Upper Cervical chiropractic was very effective in treating concussion/post-concussion syndrome symptoms. From there, I ended up stumbling upon Dr. Foran's office on Google and immediately booked my first appointment. It's a decision that I know I will never regret. After just 3 weeks of treatment

I had been going through physio, chiro, acupuncture, rmt, etc. for almost four years before I found Dr. Foran randomly on Google. It was the best decision I could have made. In under a year, my health has changed dramatically and I feel so much better than I have in a long time. My migraines have decreased and I no longer feel pins and needles or stabbing pains. I am so glad to have found Dr. Foran and recommend him to anyone interested in improving their overall health.

I was in the depths of despair when I read on an online forum that NUCCA could help with Trigeminal Neuralgia. The pain I was experiencing was catastrophic. It left me unable to care for my 1 year old son, love my husband or do my work as a yoga teacher. My life had stopped. I had a phone consultation with Michael as soon as I could. He was incredibly patient and thorough, answering all my questions and giving me ample time to process what I was about to undertake. I hung up the phone with a feeling of hope for the first time in months. I travelled hours away from my home and committed to six weeks

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Foran. I came to him because I was suffering from TMJ issues and wasn't able to open my mouth wide enough to eat a sandwich or an apple, and I was in pain every time I would try to eat. I had tried so many other things like acupuncture, ART, osteopathy, massage, night guard, etc. I really went to him as my last hope. He is fantastic at explaining what exactly he is doing and why, and he always checks to see if I have any questions about anything at all. I'm so happy to say that after only around 2 months of treatment with Dr. Foran, I have no pain

I'm so grateful to Dr. Foran. His approach to care before even seeing him is professional with an up to date website explaining the need for chiropractic care, complete contact information including a map with directions to his office, easy scheduling of appointments including reminders. His approach to personal care is thorough, precisely locating the problem areas of concern, addressing the problem with care and accuracy. After his adjustment I have experienced not only cessation of pain but ongoing comfort for long periods of time. My injuries were severe, tearing ligaments in my neck years

I get adjustments regularly to maintain my spinal health due to regular wear and tear from my active lifestyle. I've also had some significant injuries, like falls, bike crashes and car accidents, and would be in rough shape without NUCCA chiropractic. I exacerbated one of these injuries this week after doing an online exercise class I hadn't done in awhile. My neck from my jaw to my shoulder blade was so enflamed, sore and throbbing on one side that I couldn't turn my head or lift it off of my pillow without using my hands to support it, and of course, pain.

Doctor Foran is the best nucca specialist . treated me for several years after a bad semi truck accident that caused severe neck injuries. I lost enjoyment of life and ability to sleep and work. Doctor Foran was my only hope to help with any correction to my neck and to regain enjoyment in my life. all the treatments were a huge success.. A highly skilled professional . I highly recommend this doctor.

I had forgotten what normal felt like. I suffered daily from feeling off balance and when I tried to work out/get my heart rate up, I would immediately get a pounding sensation in my head, resulting in a headache. I also suffered from daily anxiety which has now substantially reduced to almost none. From my first meeting and adjustment, I felt confident Dr.Foran would be able to fix my neck issue and get me back to feeling good. 6 weeks into my treatment now and I feel like a new person. I'm able to live life normally and not hold back.

I was referred to Dr. Foran for concussion like symptoms. I wasn't really sure what to expect and actually had never heard of NUCCA. He confidently told me he could help me after reviewing my files and examining my neck at the first appointment. I will be forever grateful as Dr. Foran has helped me and continues to help me.

I was reading about upper cervical issues online and decided to book an appointment. Much to my surprise, due to my past experience with chiropractor's billing, it required me to pay $1500 to book one appointment. I can't imagine how one appointment with a chiropractor would cost that or how they could possibly predict a patient's care would cost that. Clearly a money scam. I will continue to go to other reputable chiropractors.

I went to visit Dr. Foran for the first time and was amaze by the result he showed me about my previous accident that cause my pain and suffering. I've had many physiotherapy session and seems like it never really help me. My first session with Dr. Foran was a wonder, he basically showed me all the symptoms I'm having from the result of X-ray and therapy that shows my alignment from standing and laying from neck to toe my neck bone facing forward from whiplash to my hips and my legs with uneven weight. After the same day adjustment I had I have more knowledge on how to take care of my

This is the first day I can remember waking up with no neck pain...yay!!
They take a whole new approach, and it is so gentle, you don't think anything is happening...quite expensive, but WELL worth it!! I also bought a pillow there, & I think it was a big help "holding" the adjustment while I slept. If you suffer from chronic pain, not only will Dr Foran help you, but there are digital readings of your progress to show the changes. Magic!!

Well in response to your response, first of all I don't appreciate you harrasing me with your continuous emails n asking me to take down my review. I gave an honest review of what happened n I'm not taking it down. Yes You charged interest of 1.5% each month which for 12 months works out to be 18% if you can't do a simple calculation I'm very sorry for you. Regarding my MRI, the day that you sat me in your office n showed me my MRI, you mentioned there was no problem that you see n looked normal n I'm heading a different story n if you were responsible n caring you would

Went to Dr. M. Foran due to a suggestion from a great chiropractor and was sadly disappointed. I left there feeling worse then when I first showed up.
It has to be bad when you can't even force yourself to show up to a place that is suppose to help you on your healing journey. Dr. Foran continuously had his clientele wait 30 minutes plus for their scheduled appoints, pushed 'natural supplements (that I once bought) that knocked you on your butt, spoke behind my back stating I would never get better, yet, felt fine to keep wasting my time/money. Ultimately I left feeling worse then when
