ATLAS ORTHOGONAL CHIROPRACTIC

Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic: A gentle, effective approach to renewed health and relief of discomfort without manipulation.

The ATLAS ORTHOGONIST (orthog' ah nist) is a doctor in the field of Chiropractic with training in the structure, function, and biomechanics of the upper cervical spine.

The structural balance of the human body is maintained by the precise interaction of the muscles, which are under the control of the nervous system, permit the skeletal framework to move and flex in a relatively unrestricted manner. Much of that complicated system of nerves is housed and protected by the spinal vertebrae. Ironically these same spinal vertebrae are often the underlying cause of pain, loss of mobility and of sensation when they are moved, by a variety of causes, out of proper alignment. This condition is known as: SUBLUXATION (sub luk-sa' shun).

Since the human body is called upon to function largely in an upright position, its spinal column must be able to support its ever shifting weight as the body walks, runs, bends, and lifts.

The normal curve of the spine is well suited to the task of comfortably keeping the body's center of gravity properly positioned over its supporting legs. When the spine is curve abnormally because the spinal vertebrae have slipped out of prper alignment, even by the smallest degree, profound consequences occur which may if left untreated, affect the health of the entire body. This is especially true when misalignment occurs in the neck (cervical spine).

Even though the chiropractor specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions, his care of the affected area often results in dramatic improvements in the health of other parts of the body, not generally thought of as being associated with the spine.

Regardless of the cause, when the critical alignment of the spinal column is disturbed, nature tries immediately to repair and heal the damage. The Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor's specialized training uniquely equips the doctor to aid and speed up that healing process with advanced methods, which like nature's own are safe, effective, and generally painless.
