Atlas Orthogonal Adjustment
Atlas orthogonal (AO) adjusting is a little known chiropractic procedure that can relieve or completely eliminate hundreds of different kinds of conditions by correcting the position of the top vertebrae of the spine, the atlas.
Due to the atlas’s close proximity to the brain stem, if it has moved out of position even a fraction of a degree, two very serious things can happen – 1) improper / restricted nerve flow and 2) misalignment / imbalance of the body.
Because the atlas is the top bone of the spine, if it is rotated out of position, it can twist your entire spinal structure, including the pelvis so that your whole body is off balance.
The doctor knows that putting the atlas back into proper position can enable the entire spine and pelvis to correct on their own. Body balance is restored and cord compression removed. This enables healing to begin flowing from head to toe.
Unlike other types of chiropractic the AO procedure feels like a light tap at the side of the neck as the atlas is moved precisely back into its correct position. It is completely “under whelming”. There is no twisting or popping of the neck. Patients are often surprised how anti-climatic it is until, over a period of time, they feel their bodies beginning to heal.
The procedure itself cures nothing. It simply restores the body balance and proper nerve flow so that organs, limbs and tissues can resume normal functioning. This is why we see so many different conditions with no apparent commonality responding to the same procedure. See below for a list of conditions that have responded well to this type of health care.
Atlas (First Cervical Vertebra)
In the initial consultation the doctor will determine if you are a candidate for atlas orthogonal care and if so, explain why correcting the position of the atlas is the cornerstone to the health of your entire body.
After the examination the doctor will take a set of pre AND post x-rays. The Atlas Orthogonal (AO) chiropractor will NEVER adjust you unless it is known exactly how to correct the atlas based upon information gathered from x-rays. When the atlas is in the correct position it is “Orthogonal”, which means at right angles – 90 degree, hence the term Atlas Orthogonal (AO) for this procedure.

Activator Adjustment
The Activator technique is another very LOW FORCE and gentle means of adjusting without causing any unnecessary strain or stress on the patient's body. The Activator allows for direct adjustment to the place required with a preset amount of gentle force that is always in control.
Cranial Adjustment
A cranial adjustment is performed when headache or migraine symptoms persist and are not responding to traditional treatment to the cervical spine. : It also is performed on a child who has had a concussion and their reading ability has been affected. A cranial procedure consists of testing for any displacement of the cranial plates that can become locked up with another plate resulting in increased pressure of cerebral spinal fluid. The cranial plates can become displaced due to several things such as a hit to the head, concussion, viral infection or illness. Then a corrective gentle adjustment is applied and we retest the plates for their alignment.
Extremity Adjustments
Extremity adjustments are done for the shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees, ankles and toes to help with a myriad of complaints such as carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, sprained and painful joints.
Pediatric Adjustments
Pediatric adjustments are adjustments specifically designed for children. Different techniques are employed to account for their developing spines. We commonly see children suffering with colic, chronic ear infections, scoliosis, headaches, sports injuries and post-concussion.
Chiropractic Massage
This therapy is utilized to help patients who suffer with muscle spasms and pain. A deep vibration helps the muscles relax, sets the nerves back to neutral so they don’t send their pain signals and increases circulation which speeds up healing time.
