Thanks for visiting!

Our chiropractic website is especially designed for health-conscious folks in Asheville, North Carolina.

Chiropractic is the world’s largest drug-free health solution, and chiropractic is also practiced in over 60 countries worldwide. Doctors of chiropractic diagnose and treat many different kinds of conditions.

If individual nerves of the brainstem at the base of the skull are stretched, irritated, or compressed, it often times leads to compromised health and pain syndromes. Chiropractors anaylze and diagnose conditions that are caused by nerve system compromise.

Chiropractors treat a great number of serious conditions as well as promote healthy lifestyles through proper nutrition, exercise, and life choices.

What is Atlas Orthogonality?

The brain communicates to the body via an intricate network of nerves, all of which pass through the hole at the bottom of the head and the first bone, the Atlas.

The brainstem is located at the base of the skull, and is protected by the atlas and other vertebrae. Misalignment of the Atlas can compress, irritate, or stretch the nervous system at the level of the brainstem.

This nerve system compromise can lead to a myriad of pain syndromes; from neck pain, to headaches, as well as more serious nerve-related diagnoses.

Is it possible that Atlas misalignment is irritating your nervous system and causing nerve pain or other neurological conditions?
