--What is Atlas Family Health Center--

SpinalCore

SpinalCore is primarily centered around patients who are currently battling problems in the spine, neck, and lower back, as well as those looking to prevent such issues from occurring. We, at SpinalCore, believe the overall health of an individual hinges upon an optimally functioning nervous system, particularly in the spine. Every part of the body is influenced by spinal activity and alignment.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is based upon the understanding that complete wellness depends upon a properly functioning nervous system, especially within the spine and spinal nerves. These nerves form a vastly complicated network that influences every living tissue in the body.

Dr. David Daniel Palmer performed the first recorded chiropractic adjustment in 1895. One of his patients, a minister, is credited with creating the name “Chiropractic” for the art and science of manipulation. He took the words for “hand” (cheros) and “done by” (praktos) and put them together to create Chiropractic, meaning “done by hand”.

With about 63 percent of the population seeking treatment for complimentary alternative medicine (CAM), chiropractic care is the largest alternative health care profession in North America. In fact, 76 percent of healthcare workers utilize CAM. According to a study at Dartmouth, the total number of adults in the United States who visited a chiropractor increased 57 percent from 7.7 million in 2000 to 12.1 million in 2003. It is currently the 3rd largest doctored profession in the United States, Canada, and Australia only behind medicine and dentistry. The tremendous growth in utilization in chiropractic care has continued to grow through advancements in health care policy, modern treatment equipment, peer-reviewed scientific research, and acceptance amongst various health care professionals.

The Orthogonal Technique

Contrary to conventional chiropractic, orthogonal based upper cervical chiropractic procedures are extremely low force and highly specific. There is no uncomfortable twisting or thrusting maneuvers involved with the orthogonal upper cervical chiropractic procedure. In order to validate qualification for the procedure, numerous orthopedic, neurological, and imaging assessments are employed. At the conclusion of these highly specialized tests, the data is computed into a vector based treatment that is custom tailored to the patient’s specific misalignment. After a treatment is rendered the doctor will conduct more investigations to ensure that the necessary correction was accomplished. With this highly specialized procedure, our patients experience longer correction holds, require less visits, and achieve faster recoveries.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy embraces the concept that the body has the ability to heal itself and aims to increase health and well-being. Touch is the fundamental medium of massage therapy and has been shown to affect the nervous system through manipulation of the various soft tissues within the body. These techniques affect the muscular, skeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, nervous and other systems of the body to promote healing. Massage therapy is one of the oldest health care practices. Its extensive history dates back a Swedish native, Pehr Henrick Ling. Ling developed an integrated system consisting of massage, active, and passive exercises. Massage therapists often combine several therapeutic techniques such as: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, and Neuromuscular. Massage techniques are selected by the therapist to best suit the individual’s specific needs.

Patient Education

It is our firm belief that patients who understand what is “causing” their pain and suffering and what they can do to assist in their recovery usually require less time and less treatment. Atlas Family Health Center sponsors health care workshops as a courtesy to both patients and the public. In that we have patients ranging from two weeks of age to ninety-nine years young, it is never to early to learn the basics of good health and how to restore, as well as maintain it throughout one’s life. It is less expensive and more intelligent to prevent disease instead of treating it.

Food Allergy Testing

Years ago scientists discovered your body has an internal chemical balance that is as unique to you as your fingerprint. Likewise, every food you eat has its own “chemical balance” – a unique set of natural or man-made chemicals. As your body reacts differently to each and every food, the food you eat each day will enhance proper body chemistry, or disrupt the correct balance. In fact, 95% of the people we’ve tested show that one or more foods they regularly eat cause a toxic reaction in their body. You might not even notice these toxic reactions. Most of them work at a cellular level, and may cause symptoms that you won’t notice right away. Or, you might not EVER make the connection that what you’re eating is actually damaging your body. So, foods you may eat (like corn, soy, egg whites, green pepper, whey, or chicken, for example) may actually act like a poison in your body. When you eat foods that form toxins in your system, those foods can cause harmful, chronic problems with your health. The way we measure how your body reacts to the foods you eat is through the Bloodprint test, which pinpoints the foods that support healthy body chemistry and those that are toxic to you.
