Dr. Peter Bulcher did not choose chiropractic as his first career. He made his start pursuing a general contractor's license upon graduating from Thomas Aquinas College in Southern California. Five years in and with a growing family, a severe low back injury brought his career to a grinding halt. Unable to work - or do much of anything besides lie on his back - it was NUCCA chiropractic that gave him his life back.
While NUCCA is a well-accepted form of chiropractic, patient procedures differ from the more traditional techniques. NUCCA treatment begins with specific x-ray views taken from specialized digital x-ray equipment that uses very minimal radiation.
The positional relationship between the top bones in the spine named the Atlas, the skull, and the rest of the neck below the Atlas are analyzed to measure the exact degree of the misalignment for each patient.Each person's misalignment pattern is entirely unique to them.

When you come in, the first step will be to go through your health history with Dr Bulcher during a consultation. Once he has an idea of what is going on with your health, he will go through a fundamental explanation of NUCCA and discuss if he thinks NUCCA chiropractic can help you. The next step will be to determine if your posture is showing the presence of the Atlas misalignment.

I highly, highly recommend Dr Bulcher! I have dealt with severe headaches along with terrible neck pain for so many years. I was having a headache at least once a week and they were so bad I would feel nauseous and would interfere with my day. I was miserable! My husband had a friend tell him about NUCCA chiropractic and was having great success with it. I had still put it off for a while until one day I had one of the worse headaches and neck ache ever! I couldn’t sit up, I felt sick, I couldn’t even open my eyes it was all so painful. So I said enough and knew I needed some help. I called

Dr. Peter surprised me. I had been to chiropractors when I was younger that popped and cracked and fixed me up for what symptom I had. Dr. Bulcher is helping my body through corrections get back to where it should be including all of the issues that weren’t even apparent. I was even told I had scoliosis as a child, and have now, during treatment, gone below the baseline for that in my forties! I had not heard of NUCCA before, but am now a believer in the process. For me, I no longer wake up in pain, and feel great about where I am at. Significantly less than what other chiropractors quoted me

There is not enough space for me to write all the things I think and feel about Dr. Bulcher. He is very literally saving my life.
Like many people who see NUCCA doctors, I was desperate and at the end of my rope. 32 years I’ve had progressively worse pain, debilitating head aches, TMJ, eye sight issues, Crohn’s disease, hip problems, anxiety and depression…the list goes on… I had tried everything.
I was starting the entire process of x-rays, PT, pain meds, referrals, insurance, lather -rinse -repeat when I simply quit. I was done.
I had the 3-day old copies of the new x-rays from my

I had been seeing a NUCCA chiropractor for many years and with great success, but unfortunately they relocated to another state several years ago. As time passed, my pain increased. A day without a headache was rare, if ever. I tried a regular "bone cracker", and a massage therapist, with no results - just continued increase in pain. Finally last December I did a Google search for NUCCA chiropractors and I found Dr Bulcher's Turning Point Spinal Care. I immediately scheduled a consultation appointment. It is a two plus hour drive to Fort Collins, so getting there once a week or every other week

Dr. Bulcher is truly professional and helped me get ‘back on my feet’ again. I had worked with Dr. Bulcher for a brief few months and had to move out of the area. During my time under care with Dr. Bulcher I found the Nucca process to be both life changing (in a great way) and beneficial for my overall health.
Dr. Bulcher is a dedicated, professional, and courteous Nucca practitioner who always made me feel welcomed and provided informative options for me to discuss my health and wellbeing with in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.
I am truly grateful to have shared time and care with

Dr. Bulcher has been working with me since October 2019. During my consultation appointment he asked me what my top priority from treatment would be, and my answer was to have my excessively crooked neck be more resilient, therefore allowing me to do more of the things I enjoy in life. That is exactly what he has given me!!! I can do all the fun things I had to stop doing in fear my
neck would lock up...I haven't locked up once since being under his care. I can ride on
an extreme 1 hour 4x4 dirt road, just to jump off of a 10 foot rock into glacier water, and then swim 100 yards to climb back

I was looking for a doctor who practiced upper cervical chiropractic care and found Dr. Bulcher from a google search. I was looking for a chiropractor to help with some ear issues I was having. One of my ears had a constant full feeling (like something was stuffed in there) and my upper back was chronically tense. I had been to a different chiropractor years before for the same problem but wanted to find someone who works specifically on the atlas and other upper bones in the spine. I have been going for a couple of months and have felt a significant improvement. My ear and neck issues have subsided

Dr. Bulcher is thorough, gentle, and meticulous in the diagnostic tests and cervical adjustments he gives. His office is a quiet, stylish oasis with the latest in digital x-ray and other equipment. After just one month of treatment, I'm already experiencing improvement in several nagging symptoms I've been having for the last few years. Thank you, Dr. B! I'm looking forward to continuing improvement!

I moved from Denver to Fort Collins two years ago and was looking for an upper cervical chiropractor. I was thrilled to find Dr. Bulcher. His technique is completely pain free and focuses on alignment to optimize whole body health. No twisting or wrenching--just gentle pressure. I cannot begin to express how much his service has helped me and my overall health and well being. Being pain free is a wonderful experience and I owe it to Dr. Bulcher.

These days its hard to find a Dr. who really cares and wants to help you. A Dr. that treats you like more than just a number. He listens and he explains. He is honest and easy to talk to, and will tell you if there is ever a point in time where he may not be able to help you further. I have just started my journey under Dr Bulchers care and have hopes that he can help me!
