If you have never heard of an Atlas Orthogonal adjustment, it is a gentle, specific, reproduceable, and non-invasive treatment that can help align the spine.
Atlas Orthogonal Specific Upper Cervical Chiropractic was developed by Dr. Roy Sweat in 1981 and is based on the principle that the Atlas is the key to proper spinal alignment. At Back To Health Family Chiropractic in Fort Worth, TX, we use the Atlas Orthogonal Precision Adjusting Instrument to help our patients achieve optimal health and whole body wellness.
Understanding the Anatomy
The Atlas (C1) is the first vertebra in the spine and cradles the head. If it is out of position, it affects the alignment of the entire spine. Any one of our organs and bodily functions can be affected due to an atlas misalignment. Additionally, it can impinge upon blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid motion at the brain stem which can cause increased pressure and decreased oxygen in the brain.
The Atlas Orthogonal Precision Adjusting Instrument uses a gentle and specific percussive force to realign the Atlas. It is literally a tap behind the ear. Children say, “It tickles.” Adults say, “That’s it?” After the first adjustment, our Fort Worth Chiropractor, Dr. Michlin, will take post cervical x-rays, so you can see the immediate change and correction with the empirical proof of an x-ray. The treatment is gentle, safe, and often used as an alternative to more invasive treatments, such as surgery.
