Pediatric Chiropractor St George Utah
At TruHealth, we give children the healthiest possible foundation, gently and precisely from day one.
Gentle Adjustments for All Ages
TruHealth NUCCA adjustments are uniquely suited for pediatric care because of its extraordinary gentleness and precision. There’s no twisting, popping, or forceful manipulation. This makes it perfectly safe for children from birth through adolescence.
As children grow, they experience thousands of micro-traumas: learning to walk, playground falls, sports impacts, poor posture from backpacks and devices. NUCCA care ensures their nervous system maintains optimal function, supporting healthy development, immune function, and overall wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions
The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association or ‘NUCCA’ (pronounced ‘new-ka’) is an organization and highly specialized chiropractic technique leading the way in understanding how the upper neck can impact spinal alignment, posture, chronic pain, migraines & headaches.
NUCCA is a specialized chiropractic technique that focuses on adjusting the upper cervical spine.
The main differences of NUCCA, is that it is GENTLE, SPECIFIC , and longer LASTING than traditional chiropractic. With NUCCA we DON’T GUESS! Dr. Shane Preece will take x-rays that allows him to measure accurately a misalignment of the ATLAS down to the DEGREE. Alignment of atlas will allow the entire spine and body to correct itself. The correction is not the typical crack and pop, but instead just a light pressure. You don’t have to push hard if you know EXACTLY where and how to push. With a corrected misalignment, the body innately heals. Come see why we are the top rated Pediatric Chiropractor St George Utah!
Yes. NUCCA is one of the gentlest chiropractic techniques available. For infants, the pressure used is no more than the weight of a fingertip- there is no twisting, cracking, or forceful manipulation at any age.
The birth process places significant stress on a baby’s upper cervical spine, even during routine deliveries. Interventions like forceps, vacuum extraction, or prolonged labor can create subtle misalignments that affect nursing, sleep, digestion, and overall comfort.
The NUCCA technique is the same, but the force used is adapted entirely to the child’s size and age. Infant adjustments require almost no pressure at all. As children grow, adjustments are gradually adapted to match their development.
