Atlas Orthogonal Adjustments

The atlas adjustment involves using an instrument designed specifically to adjust the atlas vertebrae, and does not involve the “cracking” or “popping” the vertebrae. The equipment delivers a precise percussion force designed to bring the atlas vertebrae back into alignment.
