What is Atlas Orthogonal Technique

Atlas Orthogonal (AO) is a chiropractic technique that specializes in the diagnosis and correction of improper neck function. This technique has been researched, developed and utilized by Dr. Roy W. Sweat D.C. and the Sweat Institute over the last fifty years.

In the Atlas Orthogonal protocol, it is understood that the Atlas is the Keystone of Body Function. If you shift the keystone the structure changes causing weakness.

The primary cause for this weakness stems from the effects of gravity on the body and the body's attempt to overcome gravity. The body's innate nature will attempt to keep your eyes level with the horizon (the righting reflex) and your heads' weight centred over your body.

Often when Atlas misaligns, you will notice postural changes begin to appear. After long periods of time your body will adapt further by laying down new bone (Wolfe's Law) to strengthen the stressed area, tighten muscles to splint a weakened area and/or generate inflammation in and around the affected joints causing pain and discomfort.
