Atlas Orthogonal Technique in Lawrenceville
If you struggle with neck pain, headaches, dizziness, or persistent discomfort but worry that traditional chiropractic adjustments will be too forceful, the Atlas Orthogonal Technique offers a gentle alternative.
At Canning Chiropractic and Laser Pain Solutions, Dr. Chris Canning uses this specialized upper cervical approach to help reduce pain and improve function without twisting or cracking the neck. This method is ideal for patients seeking a non-surgical, low-force way to support spinal health, with care focused on comfort, safety, and measurable improvement.
What Is the Atlas Orthogonal Technique?
The Atlas Orthogonal Technique is a specialized form of chiropractic care that focuses on the atlas, the top vertebra in your neck that supports the head. When the atlas is out of alignment, it can affect the entire spine and irritate the nervous system. Using precise X-ray measurements, Dr. Canning identifies the exact angle of misalignment.
Conditions Atlas Orthogonal Care May Help
Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic is designed to improve nervous system function and overall alignment, which can relieve many common symptoms. Patients often seek this care for:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Chronic headaches and migraines
- Vertigo, dizziness, and balance issues
- Shoulder, arm, or upper back pain
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
By improving the position of the atlas, the rest of the spine can move more naturally, which may reduce pressure on discs, joints, and nerves. This gentle method is suitable for many ages and activity levels, including people who are sensitive to traditional adjustments.

With extensive clinical experience, Dr. Canning focuses on conservative, non-surgical solutions that aim for lasting results. Your progress is monitored and your plan adjusted as needed.
