Atlas Orthogonal

Misalignments occur in the neck from physical, chemical, and emotional stress and trauma. Atlas orthogonal is a stereotactic closed reduction of the resulting atlas skull displacement. This means we use a gentle correction of the upper neck to align the body for its optimal healing potential. We can correct the problem without any twisting, cracking, or popping. Many people are interested in chiropractic care, but do not want to get their necks ‘popped’. If that is you, this is your solution.

On the first visit, Dr. Mindy will examine your neck including range of motion, orthopedic and neurologic tests. She will feel the joints in your neck to determine if you are a candidate for care. If not she will tell you. If you are a candidate she will then take x-rays. Because the atlas orthogonal technique is so specific, it requires specialized x-rays of the upper neck. The analysis of the x-rays takes time, so your first adjustment happens on your second visit to the office. When you come back Dr. Mindy will go over your x-rays and discuss the findings. She will tailor a care plan to your goals and the condition you are dealing with.
