Midwest Chiropractic and Acupuncture has numerous techniques to help the chronic patient relieve some of their symptoms and in some cases the patient does not have to be here to get help. The first place that we like to start to help the patient begin the healing process is atlas orthogonal care. Atlas Orthogonal is a chiropractic technique, based on the vertical relationship of the body, where the head is centered over the pelvis and feet. This positioning is established to support the body from the stresses of gravity. The atlas orthogonist chiropractor studies the alignment of atlas, the top vertebrae in the spine. The first cervical vertebrae is the foundation of the spine, supporting the head, the equivalent in weight to that of a bowling ball. The adjustment is scientific, gentle, and is performed with a percussion energy wave just below the ear. For more information; go to atlasorthogonality.com. For some patients that are looking for specific upper cervical care this may be the best chiropractic technique available to them. It can be a powerful adjustment for some of the patient's because it is in the area of the brainstem which can have an effect on the cranial nerves. The vertebral artery which runs through an opening in the atlas can be compromised if the atlas vertebrae is misaligned. A correct atlas orthogonal adjustment can then improve the blood flow to the brain stem, cerebellum and cranial nerves. It can help treat such conditions as tic douloureux, Bell's palsy, dizziness, nausea, reflux, vertigo, GI tract problems, migraines, headaches as well as cervical spine pain (radiating and non-radiating). This office in the office that offers this technique in all of Nebraska and other neighboring states. We draw patients from North and, South Dakota, Iowa, as well as numerous patients from Omaha and the surrounding area.
