Chiropractic Adjustment Setting the Atlas When the atlas is subluxated or misaligned, the first step in the treatment process is to set it back in its proper place. This is accomplished with a precision instrument while the patient lies comfortably on a specially designed, adjustable table. It is a gentle, painless method that is scientifically calculated according to the x-ray studies. With the Atlas Orthogonal Machine, no forceful manipulation is ever employed or needed. After the atlas is set, a second strength test shows greatly improved results as nerve interferences are relieved. The doctor then gently stretches the neck and shoulder muscles to help relieve any residual tension. Spinal Adjustment The second step in the treatment process is to adjust the rest of the spine. This treatment most often takes place on the day after having the atlas set. There are several different methods of adjustment employed depending on the location and severity of subluxation. Dr. Gordon and Dr. Doug are available on a regular basis by appoinment. View the chiropractors' schedule.
