It is a technique which uses a percussion
instrument to adjust a subluxation of the atlas
vertebra, the top vertebra in the cervical spine.
It is based on the teachings of
B. J. Palmer, who advocated the Hole-In-One version of spinal adjustment.

About Atlas Orthogonal Treatment
What causes aches and pains in our back, neck, legs, arms,
head and joints? What is the source of these problems that
can become so detrimental to our quality of life? Why live
with pain as so many of us do?
Many of these problems can be associated with the imbalance of the spinal column. The spinal column is a tunnel of interlocking bones called vertebrae that protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain, together known as the central nervous system. There are spaces between each vertebra allowing nerves, which are branches of the spinal cord, to supply and connect every part of the human body. Therefore, it is the nervous system that regulates and affects all body functions.
The nervous system can be likened to a major super highway. Without problems and all vehicles going the speed limit, travel is smooth and without accident. However, if there is a car crash, traffic slows down and even stops. The highway does not function as it was intended.
When the spinal column is misaligned and out of balance, the nervous system is unable to function as it was intended.
Many years of clinical research points to the fact that much of the problem associated with spinal misalignment and its consequences can be associated with the atlas vertebra, the top cervical bone in the neck.
This one bone can effect the alignment of the entire spine. The spine is like a chain—when the first link is twisted and turned, each link down to the last turns—thereby disrupting the rest of the chain. Consider the atlas the first and therefore the most important link in that chain. The human body is balanced when the head is centered above the feet. When the atlas is misaligned it causes the head to tilt. The spine then shifts to support the weight of the head, thereby creating biomechanical and postural stresses and strains. When the atlas bone is properly aligned, that is in the orthogonal—or neutral—position, the rest of the spinal vertebra come into better alignment allowing the body to heal itself. The delicate and complex connections of the nervous system allow communication between the systems of the body
Trauma in one form or another is the primary cause of misalignment. When the atlas vertebra is subjected to stresses and strains, it may be pushed out of proper alignment. Trauma may include car accidents (no matter how minor and regardless of immediate symptoms), slips and falls, blows to the head, or sports related injuries. Repetitive micro traumas, such as bad sleeping habits, poor posture, incorrect lifting and carrying can also cause misalignment.

I was referred to Doctor Mark from
my Mom, she had been seeing him
for months and bragging often about
her results. But I was skeptical since
I had been to chiropractic doctors in
the past - with no immediate results.
But one day I woke up with a stiff
neck and I was desperate, I could
not turn my head to the left or right!
My mom brought me to Dr. Mark who
saw me that same day, I left feeling
great and best of all, my results
were immediate! I walked in with a
stiff neck and walked out able to turn
left and right with ease. I would
highly recommend Atlas over general
Chiropractic treatment.

Doctor Mark always makes time for
me when I need him and I always
feel as though he truly cares about
my issues. He is great at what he
does. There are very few available
to offer this profession in San Diego
County so I’m grateful I’m able to
receive quality treatment from such
a rare profession!

Same day results, flexible
scheduling, comfortable and
professional atmosphere and
affordable prices! Plus he takes
insurance and will sometimes work
with you. You cant get any better
than that - I would highly
recommend Dr. Mark to anyone
who needs quality service at an
affordable price!
