Meet Dr. Tania Siqueira
Nucca Chiropractic Doctor
As a child, Dr. Tania Siqueira would routinely be found checking her dolls with her Fisher Price Doctor’s Kit. She knew from an early age that she wanted to help people with their health. She received an Honours Bachelor of Science in Biology at McMaster University before going on to become a Doctor of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
Dr. Siqueira’s own NUCCA experience
After discovering first-hand, the simple yet powerful philosophy of chiropractic; the body heals itself when nerve interference is removed; Dr. Siqueira decided to become a chiropractor. Under traditional chiropractic care, Dr. Siqueira noticed her life-long ragweed and dust allergies disappear and her painful menses no longer needed muscle relaxants.
In her first year of chiropractic school, Dr. Siqueira was in a car accident that left her car totalled and her hip and midback in chronic pain. Traditional chiropractic only provided temporary relief. Frustrated that the root cause of the problem wasn’t being addressed, a colleague suggested she try NUCCA. After her first treatment, she felt her body stabilize and she could run and study again with no pain. An added bonus was her vision improved and she no longer needed glasses to read the screen in class. It was then she decided to study the NUCCA form of spinal analysis and correction to help her future patients.
Dr. Siqueira is an active member of the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association and is constantly improving her skills and staying abreast of the current research at annual conferences. Currently Dr. Siqueira is Part 1 certified in the NUCCA technique and is in Part II Certification process.
Meet Dr. Gabriel Tung
Nucca Chiropractic Doctor
Dr. Gabriel Tung is passionate about serving people and is dedicated to improving the health of those around him. He grew up in Markham, Ontario, and received a Bachelor of Science in Honours Kinesiology at McMaster University before going on to become a Doctor of Chiropractic at Life Chiropractic College West.
Dr. Tung specializes in the NUCCA procedure, a gentle and effective technique that focuses on the head and upper neck. He has a special interest in working with individuals suffering from dizziness and vertigo and utilizes a research-informed approach to best help his patients.
Dr. Tung’s own NUCCA experience
Dr. Tung first became interested in chiropractic after suffering from a herniated disc. After looking to multiple healthcare practitioners, traditional chiropractic was the only treatment that gave him any relief. Shortly after entering chiropractic school, he discovered NUCCA, and after a few weeks of being under upper cervical care, the sciatic pain that he had been dealing with for years disappeared. That started him on a journey of discovering the importance of the upper neck. Now, his goal is to introduce NUCCA to those who have exhausted all other options so they can live better and pain-free lives. Outside of the office, you can find Dr. Tung enjoying the outdoors and eating good food!
