Balance Chiropractic
Balance Chiropractic is an upper cervical chiropractic clinic at 15 Spectrum Loop Suite 110 in Colorado Springs, and it describes its work as redefining what it means to be a chiropractor in the area. The practice focuses on advanced, non-invasive techniques intended to provide lasting relief without popping, twisting, or cracking the spine. Rather than aiming to temporarily reduce pain or simply increase range of motion, the clinic states that its only focus is the reduction of what it calls Foundational Shifts in the spine, and it uses four objective measurements to determine whether a person qualifies as a candidate for care in the office. The core technique is the NUCCA method, named for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association, which concentrates on the atlas or C1 vertebra of the upper cervical spine and its positional relationship with the skull and the rest of the neck. After a careful assessment, alignment is corrected using only gentle pressure and very light touch on the atlas, and the office notes that this non-invasive procedure is safe for all ages, from children to senior citizens. Diagnostic tools include Cone Beam Computed Tomography, which the office says emits minimal radiation and may be used when the doctors believe a person is a good candidate for care, along with Neuro and Myo Foundational Scans that measure the muscular and neurological stress the body is under, repeated over time so progress can be tracked objectively. For disc problems the clinic offers non-surgical spinal decompression therapy with the DRX9000, which it presents as an option for herniated discs, sciatica, and other spinal conditions. Care starts with a complimentary consultation, described as a conversation and not a commitment, followed where appropriate by a Comprehensive Foundational Examination covering Multi-axial Foundational Analysis, digital NUCCA radiographs, Neuro-Foundational Thermography, and a Myo-Foundational Scan, and then a Doctor-Patient Conference to review findings and recommendations. Three chiropractors practice here: Dr. Max J. Pohl, Dr. Ernesto Fernandez, and Dr. Matthew Hurtado. Conditions the practice highlights include headaches and migraines, TMJD, back and neck pain, sciatica, scoliosis, whiplash and work injuries, fibromyalgia, vertigo, Meniere's disease, nerve pain, dysautonomia, and post concussion syndrome, and it notes that many patients arrive after other treatments have not worked. Alongside Colorado Springs the office says it serves nearby areas including Monument, Palmer Lake, Black Forest, Gleneagle, Northgate, Briargate, and Woodmoor.

FAQs
Do you crack or twist the spine?
No. Balance Chiropractic states that it never pops, twists, or cracks the spine. The office uses the NUCCA technique, which involves gentle pressure and very light touch on the atlas at the top of the neck. Patients often describe the experience as comfortable and even soothing.
What is NUCCA and what makes it different?
NUCCA stands for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. It is a chiropractic procedure that focuses on the atlas, the C1 vertebra of the upper cervical spine, and its positional relationship with the skull and the rest of the neck. The office explains that this bone is highly movable and prone to misalignment, and that correcting it with light touch influences the vertebrae connected to it. The clinic describes the procedure as safe for all ages, from children to senior citizens.
How do I get started as a new patient?
Start with a complimentary consultation, which the office describes as a conversation and not a commitment. If one of the doctors suspects a Foundational Shift, you can schedule a Comprehensive Foundational Examination that includes Multi-axial Foundational Analysis, digital NUCCA radiographs, Neuro-Foundational Thermography, and a Myo-Foundational Scan. The clinic then holds a Doctor-Patient Conference to review the exam and go over the plan of care. Call (719) 265-0115 to set it up.
What conditions do you work with?
The practice highlights headaches and migraines, TMJD, back pain, neck pain, sciatica, scoliosis, whiplash, work injuries, arm and leg pain, carpal tunnel, shoulder pain, chronic fatigue, dysautonomia, trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, Meniere's disease, nerve pain, post concussion syndrome, and vertigo. The office notes that many patients come in after trying multiple other treatments without success.
Do you treat disc problems without surgery?
Yes. The clinic offers non-surgical spinal decompression therapy with the DRX9000, which it presents as a safe and effective option for people suffering from herniated discs, sciatica, and other spinal conditions. Related pages cover degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and disc injury.
How often will I need to come in?
The office says it builds a customized plan based on your needs. More frequent visits may be necessary at first to correct foundational imbalances, and as the body measurably stabilizes, visits become less frequent. The stated goal is long-term benefit rather than constant ongoing care.
What are your office hours?
The clinic is open Monday from 8:00am to 12:00pm and 2:00pm to 6:00pm, Tuesday from 2:00pm to 6:00pm, and Wednesday and Thursday from 8:00am to 12:00pm and 2:00pm to 6:00pm. The office is closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
