1. 1. Focus on the Atlas (C1):

      • The atlas supports the skull and plays a crucial role in balancing the head and spine. A misaligned atlas can lead to a ripple effect, causing imbalances and stress throughout the body.

   2. Gentle and Non-Forceful:

      • Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments that involve manual manipulation or “cracking” sounds, Atlas Orthogonal uses a highly specialized instrument to deliver a precise adjustment without the need for twisting, popping, or cracking.

   3. Precision-Based Technique:

      • Practitioners use advanced diagnostic tools like X-rays to measure the exact misalignment of the atlas. The adjustment is then tailored specifically to the patient’s anatomy.

   4. Instrument Adjustment:

      • The adjustment is delivered using an Atlas Orthogonal Percussion Instrument. This device sends a gentle percussive force to the atlas, realigning it with minimal discomfort or sensation.

   5. Focus on Nervous System Health:

      • Misalignment of the atlas can affect the brainstem and surrounding nerves, potentially leading to various health issues, including headaches, migraines, neck pain, back pain, vertigo, and even systemic conditions. Correcting the atlas alignment helps reduce nerve interference and promotes overall health.

   6. Holistic and Long-Lasting Benefits:

      • By addressing the root cause of misalignment, Atlas Orthogonal aims to provide sustainable relief and improve posture, balance, and bodily function.

Treatment:
A gentle, quick adjustment using the Atlas Orthogonal instrument.

Follow-Up:
Monitoring progress through subsequent visits, with a focus on maintaining alignmen

1. Low-Force Adjustments:

The Activator instrument delivers a quick, gentle pulse to the targeted area, minimizing discomfort and eliminating the need for manual manipulation or “cracking” sounds often associated with traditional chiropractic care.

2. Targeted Precision:

The technique focuses on delivering adjustments with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring only the intended joint or vertebra is affected. This helps reduce stress on surrounding tissues and improves effectiveness.

3. Speed of Adjustment:

The instrument’s speed prevents muscles from tensing during treatment, allowing the adjustment to take place without resistance.

4. Evaluation Process:

Chiropractors using the Activator Methods Technique often employ a diagnostic protocol to determine areas requiring adjustment. This includes:
Checking leg length discrepancies.
Conducting mobility tests.
Identifying areas of spinal or joint restriction.

5. Customizable for All Patients:

This technique is particularly suitable for individuals who may not tolerate traditional manual adjustments, such as:
Seniors with osteoporosis or arthritis.
Children or those with small frames.
Patients with acute pain or sensitivity.

Gentle on the Body:
Ideal for individuals who prefer or require a less forceful approach.
Reduces Nervous System Interference:
By realigning the spine and restoring proper joint function, it helps optimize nerve flow and reduce related symptoms.

Minimally Invasive:
Patients typically feel only a slight tap or no discomfort during the adjustment.

Improves Range of Motion:
Restores flexibility and movement to affected joints.

Adjustment:
Using the Activator Adjusting Instrument, the chiropractor delivers a series of gentle impulses to specific points on the spine or affected joints.

Post-Treatment Evaluation:
The chiropractor rechecks alignment and mobility to ensure the adjustment was successful.
