NEW PATIENTS

Beyond Cookie-Cutter Adjustments

Every care plan begins with a thorough examination to understand the underlying cause of your symptoms — not just mask them. We use objective findings from your exam to guide each step of care, ensuring you receive the most appropriate and effective chiropractic approach.

This evaluation includes:

  • In-depth posture and movement assessment

  • Spinal alignment and functional analysis

  • Pain and symptom history review

  • Customized treatment recommendations

Dr. Atkinson then uses multiple adjustment methods including Gonstead, manual manipulation, drop table adjusting, and instrument-based adjustments (Activator and Arthrostim) to accommodate each patient’s unique needs and preferences. This customized approach ensures optimal comfort and results, reducing pain and discomfort while working to alleviate the root of the issue.

Chiropractic Adjustments & TechniquesAdjustment

Our chiropractic care toolbox includes a range of techniques to suit your specific needs:

  • Manual chiropractic adjustments for spinal alignment and joint mobility

  • Instrument-assisted adjustments for gentle, precise correction

  • Gonstead and diversified techniques to support structural balance

  • Targeted care for back and neck pain, headaches, and restricted motion

These adjustments help decrease pain, improve posture, reduce nerve irritation, and support long-term spinal health

Advanced Therapeutic Techniques Produce the Best Results

To help improve outcomes and accelerate healing, we offer complementary therapies when appropriate:

  • Robotic Class IV therapeutic laser to reduce inflammation and support tissue repair

  • Spinal decompression therapy for herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain

  • Soft tissue techniques such as Graston® to address fascial restrictions

  • Rehabilitative guidance to strengthen key muscles and support function

These therapies are integrated into your care plan when they provide meaningful benefit, not simply added as extra services.

 Programs Targeted to Your Health & Pain Reduction Needs

Our practice has developed programs to address common but challenging conditions, including:

  • Herniated disc recovery: Provides care for patients suffering from disc bulges or herniations, often helping them avoid surgery.
  • Auto accident recovery: Our trauma-trained approach ensures proper evaluation and treatment of whiplash and other collision-related injuries.
  • Athletes and active individual sports injury recovery: Benefit from our sports injury protocols that address both immediate pain relief and preventative strategies, all aimed toward enhancing performance and reducing future injury risk.

Dr. Atkinson is always learning and growing in the ways she’s able to provide health and wellness services to her patients, doing her best for those who put trust in her.

 Functional Medicine Addresses the Root Causes of Discomfort 

Functional medicine       

Dr. Atkinson’s extensive training with the Institute for Functional Medicine allows us to look deeper into the underlying factors affecting your health. Our services include thorough evaluations that assess digestive function, inflammation patterns, hormone balance, and nutritional status. Many patients discover that their chronic pain has connections to gut health issues, which we address through testing, personalized nutritional plans, and targeted supplementation.

Dr. Atkinson may incorporate functional medicine insights when appropriate to help identify contributing factors that affect healing — such as inflammation, nutrition, and lifestyle patterns. These evaluations are used selectively to support recovery and overall wellness, not as a primary service.

Functional support may include:

  • Nutritional assessments

  • Inflammation pattern evaluation

  • Personalized lifestyle recommendations

This supportive approach helps some patients improve their results, especially when chronic issues have complex contributors.

Patient-Focused Care & Clear Communication

At every visit, we focus on:

  • Personalized care plans

  • Clear explanations of findings and objectives

  • Measurable progress tracking

  • Practical advice for daily movement and function

We believe your care should be understandable, effective, and geared toward long-term success.
