What to Expect

Step 1 

A painful neck, chronic headache, and unexplainable fatigue often serve as indicators of cervical subluxation. Thousands of patients seeking help from an upper cervical chiropractor report these symptoms during their initial consultation. So, if you share a similar problem or have additional health concerns, you can get your neck alignment checked by an upper cervical doctor. 

The initial consultation mainly involves getting to know your health concerns. Then, our upper cervical doctor, Dr. Nygaard, will ask about the symptoms you experience and check for postural or neurological problems. 

Step 2

With the gathered information and the results of the initial diagnostic tests, we at Atlas Brain and Body can determine if you have a cervical subluxation. But, to confirm the exact points that need upper cervical chiropractic adjustments, we need to do an additional X-ray scan. The scans we will obtain will enable us to provide you with accurate and precise neck bone adjustments.

Step 3

Guided by the measurements from the second step, we can provide precise adjustments to correct your atlas and axis misalignments. Rest assured, the chiropractic adjustments we provide are soft and gentle. We apply the slightest pressure on the neck bones to encourage them to slide back in place gradually.  

After we complete the adjustments, we will recommend another X-ray scan to assess the changes in your posture. We will continue adjusting your atlas and axis bones if proper posture remains unattained.

Each person has a unique health complaint and postural problem, so the adjustments and the length of the procedure also vary. But, notably, you can notice significant changes in your overall well-being as our upper cervical doctor, Dr. Nygaard, fixes your cervical spine misalignment.

Here at Atlas Brain and Body, we firmly believe that your spinal health plays a pivotal role in preventing various health concerns. That’s why we strive to provide precise chiropractic adjustments to correct any degree of atlas or axis misalignment.
