Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic

Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic is a system of adjusting subluxations of the cervical spine by means of its uppermost vertebra (C1 AKA the "atlas"). The Atlas Orthogonal Program was developed with specificity in mind.  Dr. Roundy uses special radiographic 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 with an Atlas Orthogonal Percussion Adjusting Instrument. The instrument works by percussion - a sound wave - and the bone is gently restored to its' normal position.

In the game of pool (billiards) - if you have two balls sitting side by side and a third ball strikes one of the two, the ball being struck remains still while the one not struck rolls away - this is percussion; the Atlas Orthogonal Percussion Adjusting Instrument works on this same principle.

In addition to Atlas Orthogonal procedures

Dr. Roundy uses special Leander flexion-traction tables for gentle adjusting procedures of the full spine.  Many times other spinal adjusting instruments are utilized, such as the Arthrostim Instrument and the Activator Instrument.  Each person is assessed as an individual and the best procedures and protocols are employed for that particular persons needs.
