Upper Cervical Chiropractic Adjustments in Stamford

Realign the Atlas vertebra to restore normal function.

It has been proven effective as a stand-alone treatment and in conjunction with other therapies. It has minimal side effects and is FDA approved for multiple conditions. There is peer-reviewed, evidence-based research to support its use.

The Atlas vertebra is the most important link in the human spine.

It supports the weight of the human skull, facilitating movement of the neck, and protecting the spinal cord. If the Atlas vertebra becomes misaligned, it stresses the spine, creating pain in the neck, shoulders, back – and all the way to a patient’s feet. The Atlas Orthogonal treatment by our Stamford chiropractors returns the Atlas vertebra to its neutral position, restoring normal function and blood flow to the spine.
