Results

Real People. Real Changes. Real Hope.

At Atlas Specific Chiropractic, people don’t come to us because they “just need a chiropractor.”
They come because they’re tired of feeling stuck—and they want real, measurable change.

We focus on correcting the upper cervical spine (C1 & C2) and supporting the nervous system with tools like mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT). When interference is removed and the body is properly supported, people often begin to heal in powerful ways.

While every person is different and we never promise or guarantee specific outcomes, we consistently see meaningful changes in how our patients feel and function.

What Do “Results” Look Like Here?

Results are more than just “less pain.” Our patients often notice changes like:

-Fewer or less intense headaches and migraines
-Less vertigo, dizziness, or imbalance
-Ears that feel less full, with decreased ringing or tinnitus
-Reduced neck pain, stiffness, and grinding
-Better sleep quality and easier time falling asleep
-Improved focus, memory, and mental clarity
-Decreased numbness, tingling, or nerve pain
-More energy and less fatigue during the day
-Improved mood, stress tolerance, and resilience
-Increased ability to work, exercise, and enjoy life again

‍For some, relief comes quickly. For others, it builds gradually over weeks or months as the nervous system calms and the body repairs.

Conditions Where We Commonly See Change

Again—upper cervical care and HBOT don’t “treat” conditions.
We correct the cause and support the body, and the body does the healing.

We frequently see results in people dealing with:

-Headaches & migraines
-Vertigo & cervicogenic dizziness
-Post-concussion syndrome
-Tinnitus & ear fullness
-TMJ pain & jaw dysfunction
-Neck pain & whiplash injuries
-Fibromyalgia & chronic pain
-Trigeminal neuralgia
-POTS & dysautonomia
-Neuropathy & nerve-related symptoms
-Barometric pressure headaches
-Eustachian tube dysfunction
-Vagus nerve dysfunction
-Multiple sclerosis (supportive care)

‍Some patients experience dramatic improvement. Others see steady, meaningful change. A small percentage notice little or no change. Our job is to be honest, precise, and thorough—every step of the way.

Three Types of Results We Commonly See

To set clear expectations, we often explain results in three general categories that we see across many conditions (including tinnitus, chronic pain, and neurological issues):

1. Symptoms Resolve Completely
‍Pain, dizziness, or other symptoms clear up
Normal function returns
Patients often forget what it felt like to “live sick”

2. Symptoms Improve Significantly but Don’t Fully Disappear
‍Fewer flare-ups
Less intensity and frequency
Life becomes much more manageable

3. Symptoms Do Not Change, But Function Improves
‍Some people notice little change in their primary symptom
However, they often report better sleep, mobility, digestion, energy, or mood
They still value the nervous system support and structural stability

We can’t predict which category someone will fall into, but we can promise to measure, monitor, and communicate honestly about your progress.

How We Measure Progress

We don’t guess with your health. We track results using:

✔ Functional Neurological Scans (Tytron)
-Show patterns of nerve irritation and inflammation
-Allow us to see changes over time, not just on day one

✔ Precision Upper Cervical X-Rays
-Taken before care to understand your exact misalignment
-Repeated when clinically necessary to confirm structural change

✔ Symptom & Function Check-Ins
-We regularly ask about pain, dizziness, sleep, focus, digestion, and day-to-day function
-Many patients notice improvements in multiple areas of life, not just one symptom

✔ Objective Movement & Posture
-Range of motion
-Head tilt and posture
-Muscle tension and tenderness

Results are both how you feel and how you function.

Why People Stay Even After They Start to Feel Better

Patients often continue periodic check-ins because they notice:

-More stable moods and energy
-Better stress handling
-Fewer flare-ups when life gets busy
-More resilient nervous system function

‍They begin to see upper cervical care and HBOT not as a “quick fix,” but as part of how they maintain their health.

No Guarantees. Honest Expectations. Real Partnership.

‍We will never tell you that we can cure everything or promise specific results.

What we do promise:

-A thorough, detailed evaluation
-Clear communication about your scans and X-rays
-A customized plan built around your goals
-Gentle, precise care using advanced upper cervical methods
-A team that listens, supports, and walks with you through the process

Your body is designed to heal.
Our job is to remove as much interference as possible and give it the best chance to do so.
