Dr Jorge CHAVEZ is now an Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor

Many may be aware that Dr Jorge has been a busy little student these past few years. He has attended numerous upper cervical seminars, (in Australia & the USA) in order to specialise and obtain his added qualification needed to become an Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor.

What does this mean?

Atlas is the top Vertebrae of the Spine and supports the head.
Orthogonal means at right angle to or square. If the Atlas is not square to the head and Spine (referred to as subluxated) then the head and spine are by necessity out of alignment . Essentially if the head is not on straight then the Spine cannot possibly be straight. The resulting stress that ensues may cause discomfort to the Back, Shoulders, Pelvis, Hips, Knees and Ankles.

The Atlas Orthogonal Program was developed with specificity in mind. An Atlas Orthogonal Doctor of Chiropractic uses special X-ray views to determine the extent and direction of spinal misalignment. Information from the X-rays determines how the Doctor will adjust the spinal segment.

The actual adjustment is performed by an Atlas Orthogonal Percussion Adjusting Instrument. The instrument works by percussion - a sound wave - and the bone is gently restored to its' normal position.

Atlas Orthogonal is a gentle, effective and proven Chiropractic technique that does not utilize physical manipulation.

In the examples at upper right, a normal Atlas is aligned squarely with both the Spine and Skull. A misaligned or subluxated Atlas is not square.

The upper left example clearly depicts the effects of a subluxated Atlas on the entire Skeletal frame. The resulting stress and discomfort may be felt far from the source of the real fault; this sometimes makes an accurate medical diagnosis difficult.
