Atlas Orthogonal
The Atlas Orthogonal instrument is a specialized chiropractic tool designed to adjust the atlas (C1) with high precision. It uses a gentle, percussive force, rather than a manual adjustment, to realign the atlas based on specific X-ray measurements. The device does not involve any twisting or cracking; instead, it uses a controlled and calibrated impulse to correct the misalignment, allowing the nervous system to function better by relieving pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord. The adjustment is painless and non-invasive, promoting improved body balance and function.
Treatment
(1) Free Consultation
In order to make sure we can help each patient, we offer a free consultation. We go over the patient's medical history including trauma, past surgeries and symptoms. We also discuss what the patient can expect if they choose to continue with care and the cost of treatment.
Free
(2) First Appointment
The first appointment consists of a detailed case history, physical examination and a series of x-rays taken before and after treatment. This appointment is approximately one hour in length.
$400
(3) Follow Up Appointments
Our plan of care consists of a 4-6 week period where we meet with the patient weekly to monitor progress. We only adjust the patient if needed. Typically, once the patient holds their adjustment we only need to see them once every 6 months to a year to make sure they are still in alignment.

Pre and Post X-Rays
The pre-treatment x-rays help identify any misalignments and guide the exact vector for correction using the Atlas Orthogonal instrument. After treatment, post X-rays are taken to confirm that the atlas has been properly realigned. These X-rays are crucial for verifying the effectiveness of the adjustment, ensuring it was accurately performed, and tracking progress over time, thus enhancing the overall success of the treatment plan.
