People Travel From All Over Iowa for Precision Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care
How Do People Find Us?
Most patients discover Atlas Specific Chiropractic when searching for solutions that other providers haven’t been able to solve. They often look for us online using phrases like:
“Atlas chiropractor near me”
“Upper cervical chiropractor near me”
“Atlas Specific chiropractor Iowa”
“HIO chiropractor near me”
“NUCCA or upper cervical specialist near me”
“Chiropractor for vertigo near me”
“Chiropractor for migraines near me”
“Neck pain specialist near me”
“Hyperbaric oxygen therapy near me”
“Chiropractor for tinnitus near me”
These searches lead people to us because we provide something different — a specialized, gentle, and highly precise approach focused on correcting the top two bones in the neck (C1 & C2), paired with modern functional testing and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
And because very few clinics in Iowa offer this level of advanced upper cervical analysis and correction, patients regularly travel 45 minutes, 1 hour, or even 2 hours to receive care here.
Why Patients Travel Long Distances to Atlas Specific Chiropractic
Many of the people we see come to us after trying:
-General chiropractic
-Physical therapy
-Medications
-Injections
-Stretching or massage
-Ear, nose, and throat treatments (for vertigo or tinnitus)
-Neurology consultations
-Orthopedic care
…yet still struggle with symptoms like headaches, migraines, vertigo, tinnitus, brain fog, chronic neck pain, TMJ issues, whiplash, neuropathy, and more.
What they want is a root-cause approach, not temporary symptom relief.
Our evaluation process — including functional neurological scans, 3-view upper cervical X-rays measured to 1/100th of a degree, and precise AHKC adjustments — is what makes the difference.
This is why families, young professionals, athletes, teachers, farmers, medical personnel, and chronic pain sufferers travel from across the state to see us.
