DR. DEVIN LUZOD

PROFESSIONAL
Dr. Luzod graduated from Life Chiropractic
University in Atlanta, GA in 1999, where he was
awarded the Sid Ribley Scholarship for
outstanding achievement. He previously
underwent pre-med studies at Western Illinois
University and made the Deans List of Scholars.
Hes completed the Part II examination for the
National Upper Cervical Chiropractic
Association, served on the board of Quantum
Spinal Mechanics, completed the 120-hour
course in Chiropractic Pediatrics and was
awarded a Fellowship in the International
Chiropractic Pediatrics Association
(www.ICPA4kids.com). He has lectured at the
International Low Back Pain Conference, 2013
Oriental Medicine Conference, Life Chiropractic
College West and Palmer Chiropractic College.
He has appeared on numerous radio and
television programs, and has lectured
extensively on the NUCCA procedure and
holistic wellness.

PERSONAL
Originally from Michigan, Dr. Luzod first adjustment was at age 2 for allergies when his parents, Jim and Ruth
Luzod, refused doctor-prescribed medications and sought a more natural solution. Since age 14 he was telling
everyone he knew he wanted to be a chiropractor. He graduated from Western Illinois University where he
attended on a tennis scholarship.
At Life Chiropractic University, a major car accident led to treatment by a NUCCA Doctor and Professor at the
school, Dr. Russell Friedman. The treatment was gentle, effective and long-lasting. Dr. Luzod chose to pursue
the NUCCA technique and has been practicing in the state of Nevada since opening practice in 2000.

COMMON SENSATIONS
AMONG CYCLISTS
CAN CHIROPRACTIC
HELP?
A burning sensation in the shoulders, numbness of
the arms and hands, and tightness in the neck are
common sensations among both recreational and
competitive cyclists. They might be easy to ignore at
first, but if they come back again and again they can
seriously interfere with both enjoyment and training
progress. Upper and lower back problems are
another common consequence of regular cycling.
Can a chiropractor help with these problems?
Absolutely. In addition, chiropractors can help
prevent injuries and even enhance speed, strength,
and efficiency for healthy cyclists. Athletes of all
kinds can find help with rehabilitation, maintenance,
prevention, and treatment in the hands of a welltrained chiropractor.
Chiropractors have a unique set of skills to offer
cyclists, in addition to their general musculoskeletal
expertise. Both specific and general skills are critical
to successful treatment of cyclists because
everything in cycling is interconnected: the nerves,
the muscles, and the joints. In fact, if your physician
or chiropractor doesnt address all three of these
issues at once, you are likely to continue to have the
symptoms, pain, or injury without relief. In particular,
a chiropractor that specializes in sports medicine is
will probably have the most to offer you as a cyclist.
He or she will also work with adjunct professionals
such as sports trainers or physical therapists as
needed to address your particular needs.

Solutions to problems cyclists experience will likely

be multi-dimensional. That is, a combination of
adjustments, deep tissue massage, exercises, and
stretches will likely be required. For example, if a
cyclist is suffering from lower back pain, its possible
the chiropractor will determine that it is due to hip
rotation. An adjustment of the sacroiliac joints will
be quite helpful, but appropriate stretching and
strengthening exercises will also be needed to
address the weakness and tightness in the muscles
that affect the hip joints. Strengthening exercises
will contribute stability to the joint, while stretching
will help to lengthen the muscles in the region thus
preventing them from contracting when stressed.
In fact, it is absolutely essential that patients do
their part to contribute to their recovery from
cycling injuries or pain. The chiropractor can do
adjustment after adjustment, but if you do not
complete the required stretching and strengthening
exercises at home, you may not see the relief you
expect.
Finally, a chiropractor who specializes in sports
medicine will likely be able to help you
professionally fit your bicycle so that it causes the
least strain on your body. Seat placement, bicycle
size, handlebar height, and cycling posture all have a
significant impact on both performance and stress
on the body. Many chiropractors offer in-house
bicycle analyses and adjustments to help you get
the most out of cycling with the least stress on your
joints.

The NUCCA Chiropractic Method

Explained
If you have issues with back pain or other problems that have led you to consult with chiropractors, you may
already be aware that there are multiple specialized schools of practice within the discipline. One of these is the
NUCCA chiropractic method, a treatment system that focuses on misalignment in the vertebrae at the very top of
the spinal column. Heres how it works.
How NUCCA Therapy Is Performed
The Focus Of NUCCA Therapy
A NUCCA chiropractor is primarily concerned
with the position of the atlas and axis vertebrae
(C1 and C2) which connect the skull to the
spine. The theory driving the practice is that
very minor misalignments here usually
caused by improper head poNUCCAsture can
lead to unwanted pressure on the delicate
nerves of the brainstem, leading to a host of
physiological problems. As the atlas and axis
vertebrae are buried deep in the neck,
extremely careful examination is required to
detect misalignment.
Like many forms of chiropractic therapy, the
overall effectiveness of the NUCCA chiropractic
method is sometimes disputed. There have
been clinical results which indicate it is
effective at reducing high blood pressure,
though. Countless patients can testify to the
fact that a NUCCA adjustment helps to improve
your posture and reduce pain in the neck and
upper back, too.

If you choose to see a NUCCA chiropractor, the first step will

be an extensive examination to look for any misalignment of
the C1 and C2 vertebrae. Careful physical measurements will
be used to find any discrepancies in the length of your legs
or the height of your hips. (These are both indicators of
potential misalignment.) The chiropractor will use a set of 3
x-rays to examine the state of your upper vertebrae
directly.
When a misalignment is detected, your chiropractor will
treat it with a manual adjustment similar to most other
forms of chiropractic therapy. This specialized adjustment is
often called the NUCCA Correction. Unlike some
adjustments, it requires minimal force, and patients who go
through it usually report no pain or soreness. The NUCCA
correction does not involve popping or cracking any
joints.
Chiropractic medicine is a system of treatment with a long
and rich history. There has been more than enough time for
specialized sub-types of treatment to emerge, and the
NUCCA method is one of the most well-known. Practiced for
almost 50 years, NUCCA treatment has become an effective
tool for correcting hard-to-treat problems with the upper
vertebrae.
