Yes.  Chiropractors have extensive training in radiology and are licensed to take x-rays.

It is very important to have x-rays taken for the detection of abnormalities and to assess severity of degeneration that has occurred at the injured region.  It is essential for the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor to analyze x-rays of the head and neck in order to determine the patient’s specific adjustment and confirm that there are no contraindications that would prevent the patient from this treatment. We use the most up to date digital x-ray system, reducing exposure and time. X-rays are performed on site.

An adjustment realigns the bones in the spine through which the spinal nerves and arteries pass through.  These nerves send information to and from the brain dictating the function of your body. Blood vessels flow through to nourish different regions of the body.  Misalignment of the spine may cause interference in these pathways, thereby, causing dysfunction, malnourishment and poor communication between the body and the brain which all result in a state of dis-ease and pain. Opening these pathways with the chiropractic adjustment will allow the body to perform at its most optimal level, and in turn, be at its strongest to fight off disease.

No.  Patients have their own distinct identities.  The body is very complex, and not everyone has the same issues, nor do they respond in the same way to treatment.  Therefore, we find it necessary to customize an individual’s treatment accordingly. Upon completing a comprehensive chiropractic examination that includes; historical gathering, postural, orthopedic, neurological testing and radiographic evaluation (if warranted) all of this information is meticulously reviewed, and necessary treatments are determined to fit the patients’ health goals best. We offer a range of specialties for our patient's individual treatment plans.

Is brushing your teeth addictive? When an individual experiences the effects an adjustment has on the body, one realizes its potency and significance in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Spinal hygiene is not addictive; it is essential to preventing premature spinal decay, strengthening your immune function, and preserving a superior level of health.
