I have been to many different chiropractors, however when I ran into Dr. Huff I discovered something totally different. The Chiropractor I was attending originally was extremely good. I had a chance to shadow him and every treatment that he did seemed to be miracle after miracle. Yes, there was a lot of bone cracking, pops, and the like; however he was changing people’s lives. I was inspired by him to pursue a chiropractic career. To my shock, I soon discovered that there was an extremely diverse field of chiropractors, each with their own theory and idea, to my frustration, many of them seemed to cause more damage than benefits leaving a bad mark on the chiropractors that have changed people’s lives in a safe controlled way.

Dr. Huff and NUCCA is one of those ways, I can’t say I completely understand it, but the fact is that over these years I have developed a sensitivity to my body, my bone structure, and after a visit to Dr. Huff I feel stable. No, not everywhere, but my body suddenly is able to heal itself. My old chiropractor, as I have come to believe, was more intent on quick fixes of extreme problems, he was very able. However he was not focused on maintenance. Long-term stability is something NUCCA is. It was very encouraging to hear that they were intent on fixing the spine and keeping the spine where it should be.

As for my story, I am one of those strangely extreme people that manage to hurt themselves all the time. With my old chiropractor, actually even with Dr. Huff, my logic is, I can destroy my body with flips, falls, crashes, you name it because I have a chiropractor that can fix me. Well, while I’ve been with Dr. Huff, I have carried trees, landed on my hips on tile from a full out suicide flip, landed on my neck a few times, been thrown on concrete, the list goes on. Each time, Dr. Huff shakes his head at my latest story and fixes me. The really awesome thing though is that I have found that it is harder and harder to injure myself, and if I do, I can heal up very quickly, my bones are shifting back into alignment on their own, and my spine stays where it should be no matter how I land. Yes, it is a gradual thing, I still lose my alignment. However, each time it gets harder and harder to “break” me as Dr. Huff calls it. I cannot fully explain the benefits of this, but there are many beyond landing on concrete and knowing your spine “is straight”.

Thank you NUCCA for a new perspective on chiropractors, an understanding that yes other techniques of chiropractors work, but there are always alternatives. God Bless your ministry here.

SUCCESS!!!

Marshall Spinal Care,

I have been in practice a year now and many patients have asked me my personal story of Chiropractic and NUCCA. I thought it was about time I wrote it down for not only my patients, but for the benefit of everyone else.

I have been adjusted since I was 8 months old. I could not sleep at night so my parents would put me in the car and drive me around the block until I fell asleep. After a few weeks of this, they decided to bring me to the Chiropractor. After my adjustment, I slept fine from that point on.

In high school, while playing soccer, I hit my head across another players hip trying to head the ball. My neck was sore and stiff. After a few adjustments, I was on the road to recovery. It was great!

Again in college, I was on a trip to Florida with the swim team and my back slipped out. There was no pain, but when I jumped in the pool to swim, my feet just would not kick. I did not understand it at the time, but I knew it had to be a problem with my nerves. Across from the hotel happened to be a Chiropractic Clinic. I spent all my fun money on x-rays and an adjustment. I was told to rest the remainder of the day and get back in the pool in the morning. The next day, it was like nothing ever happened. That was what inspired me to become a Chiropractor.

At Palmer, I learned all the techniques that were done to me as a child. As I went through school and went to clinic for students, I realized that the people coming in week after week never held their adjustment. In my case I had 2 bones out every time. So I asked my clinic doctor “Will this ever get better?” and he responded “NO, you will just have to live with it. The injury has been there a long time and the only way you can keep yourself healthy is to come in each week the rest of your life.” That was not a satisfactory answer for me. I started asking questions to my fraternity brothers about techniques that will not only help people, but allow them to hold and actually heal. Dr. Criag Lapenski (Seattle, WA) referred me to Dr. Ray and Dr. Mary. He said I would have to make a trip down there to understand what they are doing and the changes they make with peoples lives. I was not excited about a 12-hour drive to see a practice, but I packed up the car and made a trip to see their office and get corrected.

At Marshall Spinal Care, I received my first NUCCA correction. I did not feel anything. In fact, I was skeptical and wondered if Dr. Ray did anything at all! The pictures showed he had me corrected and they looked good to me, so I went in to rest. I woke up about 2 hours later not knowing where I was! I was out like a light! I was impressed with their office and confused about the actual Correction. What really caught my attention though was the next two weeks in student clinic. I was checked 4 times in 2 weeks by my extern. I did not need to be adjusted at all. That was the first time this happened in the Palmer Clinic in 2 years! After that, I called Marshall Spinal Care and committed to visiting them once a month until I graduated. I made five more trips to Tulsa and then was asked to come work for them as a preceptor.

After many years of good Chiropractic care, I finally found NUCCA to be the best one out there. I thank God everyday for putting it on my heart to search for NUCCA and leading me to Dr. Ray and Dr. Mary. Now I have the pleasure of changing lives in my office, in Fort Collins, CO, as Dr. Ray and Dr. Mary do in Tulsa, OK.

Thank you Marshall Spinal Care.

Dr. Matt
