Atlas Orthogonal Technique
Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic Care
What is the Atlas Orthogonal Technique?
The Atlas Orthogonal Technique is a safe, gentle and precise chiropractic technique used for decades to restore balance of the nervous system and improve function. It is a revolutionary advancement in upper cervical chiropractic techniques used to find and correct misalignment of the first vertebrae of the spine, the atlas bone. This procedure is based on scientific and bio-mechanical principles. An Atlas Orthogonal doctor uses specific x-ray views & postural evaluations to determine the extent and direction of spinal misalignment. The Atlas Orthogonal instrument is used to precisely correct the misaligned upper cervical spine, giving your body the chance to heal and function at its optimal level.

Your atlas, also called C1, is the very first bone in your spine. It is the bone that connects your brain to the rest of your spine.

The Atlas Orthogonal technique is a very gentle and specific approach to chiropractic care. With the atlas method, there is no twisting, popping, or cracking involved.
Atlas corrections focus primarily on aligning your head and neck. When this misalignment is corrected, communication is improved between your brain and the rest of your body & allows for optimal function.
