Accidents and Injuries

This page is intended to promote the awareness of the effects of the atlas misalignment between the head and neck on human health and functions, thus on the systemic health issues.

I am an extreme sports athlete that takes some brutal falls from time to time.

Dr. Chung has been able to keep my back pain completely out of my worries by keeping my neck aligned. It took me decades to find relief for my back pain. My hips and shoulders were so unlevel that you could see it in a mirror – If that is your issue then NUCCA is likely your solution. This is not a let me “crack your neck and see how you adjust” type chiropractor, this is legit science. Dr Chung finds the upper cervical disk that is out of alignment (via X-ray) and then applies pressure to a specific area to rectify the issue.

I have been struggling with gut issues for several years and in the past two years sustained two concussions that left me with post-concussion syndrome.

I have been working with Dr. Chung for just under 2 months and I am seriously blown away by the healing I have experienced while in his care. I have been struggling with gut issues for several years and in the past two years sustained two concussions that left me with post-concussion syndrome. I’ve worked with many healing modalities, including TCM, acupuncture, naturopath, chiropractic neurology and physical therapy.

Since my first and only adjustment from Dr. Chung, I have experienced a huge improvement in my sleep, a noticeable decrease in the pain and pressure in my head and neck, a visible shift in my posture and the feeling of strength and health in my body, and an easing of my stomach issues. I continue to notice improvements each week, and even felt well enough to stop taking all of my supplements and begin introducing foods back into my diet.

I’ve worked with many practitioners over the years, and I am so grateful for and impressed by the level of care and support I have received from Dr. Chung and Dr. Hwang. They are kind, truly listen to you, and explain everything in a simple way without pretense. Their services are extremely affordable, and they are 100% focused on helping people heal. I cannot recommend NUCCA Wellness Clinic enough, and hope to send many more clients their way!

I can only thank Dr. Chung for getting me back on track to achieving symmetry and, ultimately, a more enjoyable life.

Dr. Young Chung is thorough and calculated. I went into this with low hopes after dealing with a neck injury for several years, and Dr. Chung was able to use his methods to allow my body to take its natural shape and heal, alleviating the symptoms that I dreaded for so many years. I still continue to heal and I can only thank Dr. Chung for getting me back on track to achieving symmetry and, ultimately, a more enjoyable life.

Most of my youth I have been in sports.

From gymnastics, classical ballet and swimming to Karate and Aikido. Somewhere during that time I developed headaches that followed me all the way to my adulthood. In 2001 after I delivered my 2nd daughter, those headaches merged into the chronical migraines. My friend recommended some famous Chiropractor in Chinatown. After several months of cracking my neck, I left never to seek a chiropractor again.

I had those migraines three times per week until I started working for a famous NUCCA Chiropractor who used to adjust me. During that time in his absence Dr. Chung used to adjust me too. Oh my…what a miracle!!! I never thought that migraines would be lesser and almost gone and I never thought how much more energy I could receive after the adjustment. Unfortunately he retired and after a short period he was gone forever. I start getting sick again and went to Dr. Chung who got me all together and now my neck belongs to him.

I highly recommend Dr. Chung to anyone who seeks more energy, has any illness that should be looked from the point of alternative practitioner, because NUCCA and Dr. Chung’s personal touch truly works and you may stay pill free.

Truly,

I feel good with NUCCA wellness! 

I had various minor falls and accidents, all of them affected my left side. A friend told me about her positive experience with Dr. Young Chung. She was seen by a number of chiropractors without much success, my friend finally had no more back pain after her treatment with Dr. Young Chung. I booked an appointment. Dr. Young Chung explained the reasons for my pains and the treatment he would give me. After the very first adjustment I felt better and have felt good ever since. The treatment is painless, not invasive, and does not require any hard work on the part of the patient. I definitely recommend it. My pains have gone, therefore I am much more active, have more energy, and sleep better. I got my life back! Thank you Dr. Young Chung

I suffered several concussions from both sports and I also pinched a nerve in my neck playing football.

I’ve been experiencing chronic neck & head pain for almost a decade now from sports injuries I sustained in high school playing football and hockey. I suffered several concussions from both sports and I also pinched a nerve in my neck playing football. Over the years, my body and spine slowly started to get distorted where I started experiencing pain in multiple different areas of my body. Also, recently within the last few years, I started getting terrible tension headaches that would last for days. I thought these symptoms were the result of tight muscles so I tried stretching on my own and getting massages but my body would always revert back to its dysfunctional state. I did some research online regarding post concussion symptoms and tension headaches and came across this type of chiropractic involving the adjustment of the atlas bone at the base of my skull. I found NUCCA Wellness, who specializes in these types of adjustments, and decided to let them evaluate me and provide me with a correction. After one adjustment, I instantly felt a difference. My hips and shoulders have been uneven due to my upper cervical instability, and after the first adjustment, my hips and shoulders were completely even again! I was still cautiously optimistic that the correction would hold and that I would no longer experience any tension headaches. It’s been three months now and my spine is still holding the correction and I have not had any tension related headaches. I have been very pleased with the results so far and I routinely check in with the doctor to ensure my spine is still aligned and if any other corrections are necessary. I’ve learned that the source of all my issues begin at the top of the spine and fixing that area first is critical for overall spine health. I highly recommend NUCCA Wellness and atlas adjustments for anyone dealing with chronic back pain.

Wow, it felt so good! My whole body started to respond to the adjustment and it felt “right.”

I first started seeing Dr. Chung because my own general doctor kept raving about him. After being rear-ended for the fourth time, I made the switch from my neck cracking chiropractor (I loved her but it wasn’t working that well and I would always get so tense.) to Dr. Chung and my neck and body will be forever grateful. Dr. Chung took very precise/localized x-rays and then did some lengthy calculations to determine the exact spot on my head/neck to exert pressure to make the correction. All I felt was a gentle nudge. Suddenly, I felt wonderful warmth on the right side of my face and I asked what that was. Dr. Chung replied it was my circulation returning to that area. Wow, it felt so good! My whole body started to respond to the adjustment and it felt “right.”
Well, I was rear-ended again (Yep, a fifth time!) and that altered the misalignment I had. So, I needed to have new x-rays so that he could see how to adjust the correction he gave me. That is how precise to each person and each situation these corrections are! I usually can feel when I need a correction and those follow the same pattern, i.e., new x-rays only have to be taken if something drastic happens. Also, I should point out that not everyone needs so many corrections. I have referred many people to Dr. Chung including my Mom and one of my best friends. They both had corrections years ago and my friend has never needed another correction while my Mom has only needed one.
I have been seeing Dr.Chung for about 8 years and it has been a relief to my body. Dr. Chung is very kind and exceedingly conscientious in his care and is very good at explaining this process. I am so grateful to Dr. Chung and his care. Peace.
