Meet The Doctor

Dr. David Nygaard, DC, MS, MBA, is a seasoned chiropractor with over three decades of experience, specializing in the Atlas Orthogonal technique to restore brain-body connection through precise upper cervical adjustments. With a background in Special Education, Counseling, and an MBA in Human Resources, Dr. Nygaard transitioned from a corporate role to fulfill his dream of chiropractic care, graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1995. His expertise was honed under Dr. Roy Sweat, founder of the Atlas Orthogonal method, where he trained in clinical protocols, later sharing his knowledge as a field consultant to other chiropractors. Today, as one of fewer than 250 Board Certified Atlas Orthogonal chiropractors worldwide, Dr. Nygaard serves Asheville, incorporating techniques like spinal disc decompression and myofascial release to enhance patient outcomes.

Correction Without Popping or Cracking

These specifications are determined using advanced imaging and analysis. Digital X-rays are taken and computer analyzed to determine the specific misalignment present. These calculations determine the vectors of the Atlas Orthogonal adjustment. For more than two decades, Dr. David Nygaard has been the only Atlas Orthogonal clinician in WNC. He was the first chiropractor in the Asheville area to offer in-office digital x-rays.

Precise

Imaging taken prior to the first correction allow us to “see” the exact position of your spine. Careful analysis reveals a precise correction formula used to restore your spine to its proper alignment.

Gentle

Upper Cervical is a very gentle chiropractic technique that involves absolutely no “popping” or “twisting” of the neck or back. The precision of the adjustment allows us to work smarter, not harder. You’ll be amazed at how gentle and precise the adjustment is!

Effective

By correcting the entire spine and not just the problem areas, the body is able to stay corrected for longer periods of time, allowing for better recovery.

Dr. Nygaard is very knowledgeable and helpful. As an employee and patient, I have come to adore my coworkers and deeply appreciate the ongoing excellent care. My very first atlas adjustment was profound. I can only describe it as it "created space!" I am very grateful to be on a team that is sincerely providing community-oriented wellness in a genuinely positive and healing environment!

I have not been there in several years but when I did go there it was wonderful. They were nice, professional and helped me understand my needs. The only reason I don't go is financial reasons, otherwise I would go back there often. I would recommend it as a primary chiropractic care facility

I have been going to Dr. Nygaard for many years now for help with my back, neck and carpal tunnel issues. He has helped me a lot, in fact I haven't had any carpal tunnel pain in over a year!

The staff is very welcoming, and Dr. Nygard has been very determined to help me feel better. His adjustments have been very different from other chiropractors that I have visited. My pain has been greatly reduced, and I am enjoying activities much more. I would highly recommend Atlas Chiropractic!
