The Atlas Orthogonal (AO) Technique
At the Head and Neck Center of Hawai‘i, we specialize in Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic care, a precise, non-invasive technique trusted worldwide. This advanced method restores alignment at the top of the spine to relieve pain and improve function, bringing patients from around the country to our Kona clinic.
How AO Works
Gentle in Application, Powerful in Results.
Atlas Orthogonal is a highly specialized chiropractic technique that uses precise imaging and biomechanical analysis to identify misalignments of the atlas vertebra. A gentle, instrument-assisted adjustment then restores alignment, improving neurological communication between the brain and body.
For patients, the experience is painless and non-invasive. For healthcare professionals, the technique provides consistent, measurable outcomes backed by decades of clinical application. The benefits include improved communication between the brain and body, often resulting in relief from headaches, neck pain, concussion-related symptoms, TMJ, and other conditions. For providers, Atlas Orthogonal offers consistent, reproducible results supported by decades of clinical application and peer-reviewed research.
From the initial assessment to follow-up care, every step of the process is designed to provide measurable outcomes, lasting relief, and a higher quality of life for patients.
