NEW PATIENT SPECIAL

This visit allows you to meet with the doctor, discuss your health history, review your concerns, and learn whether Atlas Orthogonal care may be appropriate. It does not include X‑rays, a physical exam, or an adjustment.

Atlas Orthogonal care relies on precise, mathematical analysis of the upper cervical spine, using highly detailed X‑rays taken while the patient is completely still.

Without these images, an Atlas Orthogonal adjustment cannot be performed safely or accurately.

If you decide to move forward after the consultation, you’ll schedule a two‑visit new patient sequence:

1. Specialty Upper Cervical X‑rays
2. Comprehensive chiropractic exam
3. Your first Atlas Orthogonal adjustment
4. A follow‑up visit the next day to assess alignment and early response

This visit typically lasts about one hour and establishes the foundation for Atlas Orthogonal care.

Because Atlas Orthogonal adjustments are tailored to your exact anatomy and misalignment pattern, the doctor must:

• Measure your atlas (C1) and upper cervical joints down to fractions of a degree
• Determine a customized correction vector
• Confirm the safety and appropriateness of care before beginning treatment

The consultation alone does not provide the necessary imaging or analysis for this work.

No. The consultation is informational only. It cannot substitute for the X‑rays, exam, and analysis required for actual treatment.

Atlas Orthogonal care is extremely precise. The follow‑up visit allows the doctor to:

• Verify alignment
• Assess how your body responded
• Make any necessary adjustments to your care plan

It’s an essential part of beginning Atlas Orthogonal care.

Yes, with one important consideration.

Because Atlas Orthogonal care requires motion‑free X‑rays, children must be developmentally able to sit still through the imaging process. If you’re unsure whether your child is ready, we’re happy to help you determine suitability.

Atlas Orthogonal is:

• Gentle and instrument‑based
• Extremely precise
• Customized to each patient using X‑ray analysis
• Performed without twisting, cracking, or manual force

This is why the initial evaluation process is more detailed than standard chiropractic care.
