What Is Atlas Orthogonal and How Can It Help You?

Atlas Orthogonal is a specialized chiropractic technique that focuses on the atlas, the topmost vertebra in your spine. Because the atlas supports the head and surrounds the brainstem, even a small misalignment can affect your entire body.

A Gentle, Precise Approach

Unlike traditional adjustments that involve manual twisting or 'cracking,' Atlas Orthogonal uses a precision instrument to deliver a gentle, targeted correction. There's no forceful manipulation, making it ideal for patients who prefer a lighter touch.

Conditions It Can Help

Patients seek Atlas Orthogonal care for migraines, vertigo, TMJ disorders, post-concussion symptoms, chronic neck pain, and fibromyalgia. By restoring proper alignment at the top of the spine, the technique can relieve pressure on nerves and improve overall function.

What to Expect

Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation and precise imaging to determine the exact angle of correction needed. The adjustment itself is quick and painless, and many patients notice improvement after just a few sessions.
