WHAT IS ATLAS ORTHOGONAL CHIROPRACTIC?

The Atlas is the first bone in the spine, located at the base of the skull. It supports the head and is the passageway for the arteries that provide approximately 2/5 of the blood supply to the brain. It also protects the spinal cord that connects the brain with the rest of the body.

When the atlas is in the Orthogonal position, it is exactly 90 degrees to the skull and the cervical spine. This is the optimal position that allows the rest of the spine to align correctly.

Subluxation is the misalignment of a vertebra causing irritation of a nerve. When subluxation is present, the nerve becomes choked and may not function properly. This can prohibit muscles, joints, and organs from getting crucial messages from the brain. Misalignment of the atlas affects the rest of the spine. Think of the spine like a chain-- if the first link is twisted and turned, each link down the line also turns slightly, thereby disrupting the entire chain. Consider the atlas the first and most important in the chain. In this way, even low back and leg pain may be directly related to an atlas subluxation because of the chain effect. Essentially, if the head is not on straight, the spine can not possibly be straight so a subluxated atlas can affect the entire spine!

HOW DOES ATLAS ORTHOGONAL DIFFER FROM TRADITIONAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Atlas Orthogonal corrects subluxations of the atlas using a gentle correction, not manipulation or cracking and popping. This correction is done by specifically analyzing the displacement of the atlas and measuring the atlas in three different planes, from the top, the front, and the side. Displacement is measured within one degree. We use a precise instrument to correct the displacement, thus allowing the body's natural healing ability to be restored. Our purpose is helping you and your family maintain complete health naturally, without drugs or surgery, by painlessly and effectively removing neurological stress.

Subluxations are often deceiving. Symptomatic pain may appear in the low back, legs, shoulders, arms or other parts of the body, and the cause is very often coming from the cervical spine.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM ATLAS ORTHOGONAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Those with any of the following:

Headaches (cluster migraine, and normal)
Dizziness (vertigo)
Neck Pain
Pain, Tingling, and Numbness down the arms
Tennis Elbow

Mid Back Pain
Low Back Pain
Degenerative Joint Disease

Neurological Disorders

The difference between an Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor and other chiropractors is that the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor adjusts the atlas (the top bone in the neck) using the Atlas Orthogonal Precision Adjusting Instrument. This instrument uses the principles of percussion force. As the patient lies on one side, the doctor places the tip of the instrument below the patient's earlobe, barely touching the skin. The head of the instrument sends an energy wave through the tip, therefore placing the atlas in the correct position. The patient feels absolutely no discomfort.
