The nervous system is constantly adapting to stress, both physical and emotional. Sometimes that stress shows up clearly. Other times, it gets stored quietly in the body long before symptoms appear.

CLA Insight scanning technology allows us to look at how the nervous system is adapting and where stress patterns may be showing up. It gives insight into areas of tension, imbalance, and compensation so we can better understand how the body is responding to daily life, growth, and experiences. The scan is safe, gentle, and non-invasive, making it appropriate for pregnant moms, babies, and children.

By understanding these patterns, care can be more intentional and specific. If you are curious how your nervous system or your child’s nervous system is adapting and where stress may be held, reach out to our office to schedule a scan and learn more.

Pain does not always mean something is damaged. Often, it means the tissue is irritated, inflamed, or struggling to heal.

Cold laser therapy uses targeted light to support the body at a cellular level. By improving circulation and calming inflammation, it helps tissues repair more efficiently and recover without added stress on the body. It is commonly used for joint discomfort, muscle tension, nerve irritation, and injuries that feel stuck or slow to improve.

There is no downtime and no invasive procedures. Just gentle support that helps the body do what it is designed to do: heal.

If pain has been limiting your movement or daily life, reach out to our office to learn whether cold laser therapy could be a helpful next step.

Vertigo is more than feeling dizzy. It is the sensation that the room is spinning, tilting, or moving when you are not. For many people, it turns everyday tasks into challenges, from driving to the grocery store to simply standing up or turning your head.

While vertigo is often blamed on the inner ear, balance is actually a conversation between the inner ear, eyes, and brainstem. When that communication is disrupted, the nervous system receives mixed signals and the result can be disorienting and overwhelming. Tension or misalignment in the upper neck can interfere with how these signals are processed, contributing to symptoms that feel unpredictable and hard to control.

If vertigo has started to limit your confidence, movement, or sense of safety, it is time to look deeper than symptom management. Reach out to our office to schedule a consultation and find out whether addressing the upper neck and nervous system could help you feel steady again.

“I’ve been to a lot of chiropractors.”

This patient came in after years of compounding neck injuries and trying different approaches. While other forms of care brought some relief, it was not until receiving Atlas Orthogonal care that things truly shifted.

“I found some relief with a NUCCA doctor, but nothing like the relief I found with Dr. Kate and the Atlas Orthogonal method.”

Consistency matters, especially when the body has been adapting to injury for a long time. Over the years, this care helped restore stability, confidence in movement, and a sense of trust in the body again.

“It must be something like 13 years that she’s been taking care of me… Nobody else could help me.”

That is the heart of this work. Precise care. Long-term support. Helping the body function better when nothing else has worked.

Wrist pain is common, but living around it does not have to be. When discomfort lingers, it is often a sign that the tissue needs support to heal rather than continued compensation. Shockwave therapy works by stimulating circulation and encouraging the body’s natural repair process, helping improve movement and reduce irritation at the source. If wrist pain is limiting your daily activities, reach out to our office to learn whether shockwave therapy may be a good fit for you.

If your newborn feels stiff instead of snuggly, you are not imagining it.

Some babies come into the world holding a lot. Tight shoulders. An arched back. A body that does not easily soften when you scoop them up. It often gets labeled as being “strong” or “alert,” but many times it is simply a nervous system that has not yet learned how to settle.

In these early weeks, ease matters more than effort. We want to see babies who can relax into your arms, move freely, and feel safe enough to let go. That softness is not weakness. It is a sign that the nervous system feels supported and regulated.

If your baby seems tense, rigid, or always on, their body may be asking for support. Gentle, neurological-focused care can help create the sense of safety their system needs so development unfolds with more comfort, connection, and calm.

Scoliosis is often discovered during childhood or adolescence, sometimes unexpectedly. A routine screening, a posture concern, or uneven shoulders can quickly bring up questions about growth, comfort, and long-term health. While some curves remain mild, others can progress over time, influencing how the body moves and adapts.

Rather than focusing on “straightening” the body, scoliosis care is about supporting function. When there is imbalance, muscles, joints, and the nervous system have to work harder to compensate. Over time, that extra effort can show up as fatigue, stiffness, or reduced mobility. The goal is to help the body stay strong, flexible, and adaptable through each stage of growth.

With a proactive, supportive approach, families can better understand what their child’s body needs and feel more confident navigating scoliosis management as life and development continue.

Headaches and migraines are common. They are talked about often. But they are not something your body is meant to experience on repeat.

Many people learn to push through head pain, plan their days around it, or assume it is just part of life. In reality, recurring headaches and migraines are signals that something deeper may be out of balance.

Tension, misalignment, and stress in the upper neck can change how the nervous system, blood flow, and surrounding tissues function. When the system has to compensate over time, it can show up as pressure, throbbing, sensitivity to light, or pain that disrupts work, family time, and rest.

At Atlas Family Chiropractic, we look at potential underlying causes, not just symptom management. Our goal is to help the body restore balance so it can function with more ease and fewer interruptions from pain.

If headaches or migraines have become part of your routine, we would love to help you explore what your body may be asking for. Reach out to our office to schedule a consultation.

I hate to break it to you, but the aches you have been told to “just live with” during pregnancy are actually signals.

Sciatica when you stand up. A back and neck that feel stiff by lunchtime. Round ligament tugs every time you roll over or pick up your toddler. These are all signs of how your body is adapting to the growing demands of pregnancy.

When there is tension or misalignment, the nervous system has to work harder. That extra effort often shows up as discomfort in everyday life, not because your body is failing, but because it is compensating.

Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on restoring balance so your body can adapt with more ease. Many moms notice they can walk farther, sleep more comfortably, and stay present in daily life instead of feeling slowed down by symptoms.

Pregnancy will always bring change. It does not have to bring constant discomfort.

Your immune system does not work in isolation. It is closely connected to your nervous system, especially during the winter months when stress, less sunlight, and disrupted routines can place extra demand on the body.

When the nervous system is regulated, the body is better able to adapt. Sleep often improves, digestion functions more efficiently, and the immune system can respond with more balance instead of staying in a constant state of stress.

In addition to nervous system focused care, we also carry a variety of high quality supplements to help support your body through the winter season. If you are looking to strengthen your immune support and feel more resilient, contact our office to learn how we can support you with care and personalized recommendations.
