Review from Brien S.

Have you had back pain or neck pain that just won't go away? I have been going to chiropractors since I was 12. I think it actually may have left me with a hyper-mobile neck. I constantly feel the need to adjust myself because of the tightness. I also have always had a hip and a leg that was a little off with no help from chiropractors.
I heard great things about Dr. Pete Tsiglieris and NUCCA so I thought I would give him a try. After a thorough 3 hour evaluation and treatment and a few more visits, I already feeling better. This NUCCA Chiropractic thing really is interesting. Can it really be that simple to massage a small area of the neck and get systemic benefits or better put can being off a little in one area of your spine really effect the entire body? Crazy stuff. Love the fact that he is not tugging on my neck and I do not leave feeling cracked like a normal chiropractor. Check him out in Belmont. There are only a few NUCCA Chiropractors in the Bay Area and he is right in the Bay Area.
Thank you Dr. Pete. -

My personal trainer suggested that I talk to a NUCCA practitioner after noticing that my back and neck were out of alignment. After some research I found Dr Pete Tsiglieris at Advanced Spinal Care. This was a great decision and the treatment has improved my quality of life.
Dr Pete spent over 2 hours on an initial assessment that includes x-rays and many measurements. He suggested an atlas adjustment. The procedure is not anything like what I imagined a visit to the chiropractor to be. There was no cracking and contorting of my back. Instead, he made slight painless adjustments to my atlas. For the first time I know what it feels like to have my head on straight, literally!
Dr Pete is very knowledgeable and really takes his time with you to make sure your questions are answered. He sold me a pillow that greatly improved my sleep quality. In addition to his practice he also is a NUCCA instructor. This place is definitely worth a visit. -

Was referred by my NUCCA chiropractor in AZ after I moved here in 1999. NUCCA deals primarily with the cervical spine, the upper portion supporting your head; as the head goes, so does the rest of your body.
NUCCA chiropractic is very subtle manipulation, and therefore very gentle, but it works wonders; and Dr. Pete Tsiglieris is an extremely caring and thoughtful practioner. I wouldn't go anywhere else, and I'd give him 10 stars if it were available! -

Dr. Pete Tsiglieris is a very knowledgeable and experienced NUCCA Chiropractor. The upper cervical spine is no place to mess around with, but you can definitely trust Dr. Pete to solve most problems with his painless adjustments or work on trigger points. I went in knowing that my atlas was off and that I had multiple pain syndromes in the right side of my body. I never expected that the TMJ I suffered with for almost 10 years would go away AFTER THE FIRST ADJUSTMENT. After that, the results just got better and better, and now I refer many of my personal training clients with various ailments over to Dr. Tsiglieris for special care. He's an honest guy who has turned me away many times because I held my previous adjustment. Most chiropractors will treat you regardless just to make a buck, but not Dr. Pete. He's awesome!

Dr. Pete is fantastic. I have had issues with my neck and shoulders for as long as I can remember and I have tried other chiropractors, physical therapists, massage, rolfing, acupuncture - the whole gamut. My neck and shoulders have always been so sore I'm always asking my fiance for massages - we both just thought my muscles would always be super tight.
I admit I was a bit skeptical at first, but I was fascinated with the theory behind NUCCA. I thought about it for a few weeks and decided to try it. It sounds amazing (and it is) but I felt significant improvement within 2-3 weeks. A month later of weekly visits, probably 80% improvement for a condition that has lasted at least 15 years. My fiance says my muscles feel completely different and agrees that the investment in time and money is definitely worth it.
Dr. Pete is also super personable and cares greatly about his work. So glad I was introduced to Dr. Pete and NUCCA! -

Dr. Pete put an end to my chronic lower-back pain!
I have been suffering from back pain for many years (mainly caused by tight glutes) but was able to get by with icing, Ibuprofen, targeted stretches and some Feldenkrais and core exercises.
But about four weeks ago I made a wrong move during a rock climbing session that left me with intense pain that did not respond to my usual routine.
Three weeks later the pain still was so intense that I had trouble walking from the parking lot to my office in the morning. My brother-in-law (who also practices NUCCA in the east bay) suggested to see Dr. Tsiglieris (since I live in Menlo Park) - and boy am I happy he did!
The first visit took about 2 1/2 hours and started with the (for NUCCA) typical routine of X-rays and assessment of leg length, hip alignment and balance. After the X-rays were done Dr. Tsiglieris reviewed them for a while and performed the adjustment (which only takes a few minutes). He checked my leg length and took another X-ray to verify the results.
My follow-up appointment was three days later and the pain was about 95% reduced. The glutes were still a bit tight but it was clear to me that my body had started repairing itself (which is a central idea in NUCCA).
1 1/2 weeks after the initial appointment I am (for the first time in years) PAIN FREE, even my glutes are not sore anymore. -

The NUCCA approach works better for me than any other chiropractic approach. Dr. Pete is really a model Doctor who focuses on measurement and root cause with very safe non-invasive treatments.

I have been going to Dr. Pete(his nickname)for several years and have been able to avoid any surgery. This has been truly amazing. I used to have flare ups and my body would literally be twisted for days. Since I have been going to Dr. Pete I haven't had any severe pain or relapses from spine damage. I also have scoliosis and his treatments allow me to lead a normal life. His gentle approach is much appreciated. I hate the way some chiropractors make the cracking noise which to me is unnerving. My husband and I both go for maintenance every 1-2 months. It is so WORTH IT.

Dr. Pete is amazing! I've had chronic back and should pain for the past 12-13 years. I've gone to numerous doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and self-help yogo and stretching. But nothing has worked - up until now. What I liked about the NUCCA approach is that it is so scientific and is actually intended to keep you out of the doctors office. My past couple of chiropractors would insist that I come in 2-3 times a week with no "fix" and end in site. I've come in 3 times so far and Dr. Pete has already recommended that I come in just 1x week for 6wks. Then we would monitor.
Dr. Pete really spent the time to ask all general health questions and to take very precise X-Rays. The initial appointment took about 3 hrs. He's given me hope that I can actually not hurt for the first time in 13 years!
NUCCA has their own specific website which can give you more general information: http://www.nucca.org. I highly recommend this technique to anyone who has been suffering from chronic pain that no one can help.
Yeah for NUCCA!!
Dr. Pete's website is very informative: http://advancedspinalc...
