Chiropractor Serving Marion, Iowa

Atlas Specific Chiropractic sits just west of Marion in Hiawatha, at 1350 Blairs Ferry Road. From most of Marion, the drive is about 5 to 10 minutes, so care is easy to fit into a busy week.

Dr. Isaac Reis, DC, practices upper cervical chiropractic, a focused approach to the top two bones of the neck: the atlas (C1) and the axis (C2). These two vertebrae sit around the brainstem, the part of the nervous system that helps run balance, blood flow, sleep and the stress response. When the atlas shifts out of place, the strain can show up as headaches, jaw pain, dizziness and more. Every correction is gentle, with no twisting, cracking or popping.

Three of the most common reasons Marion residents call us all trace back to the upper neck:

• Headaches and migraines. Tension at the base of the skull and a shifted atlas can feed head pain that keeps coming back. Read more in our Marion headache article.
• TMJ and jaw pain. The jaw and the upper neck work as a team, so an atlas misalignment can keep the jaw muscles tight and sore. See our Marion TMJ article.
• Vertigo and dizziness. The upper neck sends balance signals to the brainstem, and a misalignment can throw them off. See our Marion vertigo article.

We also help with neck pain, whiplash, post-concussion symptoms, tinnitus and more. See the full list on our Conditions We Help page.

• We measure first. A Tytron C5000 thermography scan checks how your nervous system is handling stress, and precision upper cervical X-rays show exactly how your atlas has shifted.
• The correction is gentle. Dr. Reis uses the Advanced HIO Knee-Chest (AHKC) technique, a light, specific adjustment. He is Level 4 certified in AHKC.
• We recheck after adjusting. Scans are repeated so you can see how your body responded.
• Visits fit a busy schedule. Your first visit takes about 60 to 90 minutes. Follow-up visits are shorter.
