At Atlas Specific Chiropractic, we specialize in gentle, highly-precise upper cervical care that targets the top two vertebrae in your neck — the atlas and axis — where even a slight misalignment can disrupt your nervous system and cause stubborn symptoms like headaches, migraines, vertigo, and brain fog.
Our process begins with a thorough evaluation: your health history, posture and neurological scan, and targeted imaging to locate the specific misalignment. Then, using the advanced AHKC (Advanced HIO Knee-Chest) technique, we apply a gentle correction that avoids forceful twisting or cracking. This precise adjustment helps restore alignment and nerve communication, which may lead to improved balance, better sleep, reduced pain, and enhanced overall function.
Whether you're dealing with chronic neck pain, TMJ issues, or unresolved symptoms that other approaches haven’t resolved, our upper cervical care offers a non-invasive, root-cause solution designed for long-term results.
In addition to upper cervical care, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to support your body’s natural healing mechanisms and enhance your recovery. HBOT delivers pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, increasing oxygenation of tissues, improving blood flow, and reducing inflammation — which can be especially beneficial for conditions like chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, long COVID, neurological issues, and sports injuries.
Your HBOT journey begins with a consultation to assess whether hyperbaric therapy is appropriate for your health goals. We’ll craft a personalized treatment plan — often in conjunction with your upper cervical adjustments — to maximize your healing potential. During each session, you’ll relax in a comfortable chamber while your body receives increased oxygen uptake. Over time, many of our clients report improved energy, faster recovery, clearer brain function, and fewer pain flare-ups.
By combining upper cervical chiropractic care and HBOT under one roof, we offer a comprehensive approach to healing — addressing both structural alignment and oxygenation to support your body from the inside out.
