Thank you for visiting our “at-home quiz.” These questions will help you determine if you are a candidate for our gentle form of care, known as the NUCCA technique.

Dr. Read has the opportunity to serve all kinds of people, with all kinds of health goals. Some are immobilized by pain. Other want improved health. And some want better balance and performance. In spite of all these differences, they all have one thing in common: changes in posture that show stress at the top of the spine.

Generally, the best candidates for care can answer “yes” to one or more of the following questions. If you answer yes, please request your consultation.

• Have you ever been told by a chiropractor, podiatrist, orthopedist, tailor, or seamstress that you have one leg that is shorter than the other?
• Have you ever been prescribed a heel lift for a ‘short leg’?
• When you look in the mirror do you see your head tilting toward your right or left shoulder?
• When you look in the mirror do you consistently see one shoulder that is higher?
• Do you limit carrying handbags or purses to one shoulder because the strap falls off on one side?
• For women, do you always find one bra strap falling off of one shoulder?
• When you wear a belt, do you notice that it sits higher on one hip than the other?
• When you walk do you find that your waistband tends to twist towards one side of your body, pulling the inseam out on one side?
• Do you suffer from a head, neck, back or body pain that cannot be explained by other doctors? Or pain that is not responding to other kinds of care, including traditional chiropractic?
• If you turn your head all the way to the left or right, is it easier to make this motion on one side than the other?
• Do you have pain or tenderness or a sensation of tightness at the base of the skull?
• Have you ever had a chiropractor or medical doctor diagnose you with a ‘loss of curve’ in your neck from an x-ray or MRI?
