Radiographs

Atlas Orthogonal X-rays are taken for the purpose of ruling out fracture, or pathology and are used for analyzing the biomechanical and structural change resulting from subluxation.




Post Radiographs – X-rays taken after the first adjustment to assess the spinal correction resulting from the initial atlas adjustment. Dr. Nygaard will learn valuable information about what happened bio-mechanically during the adjustment and whether refining the adjustment angles can provide a more specific spinal correction.

Atlas Orthogonal Precision C-arm X-ray Unit: Dr. Sweat worked with engineers to develop a precision x-ray unit designed for taking the precise radiographs required for Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic. It differs from any x-ray unit made by having a fixed focal spot on the film buckey that insures the precision x-rays required in the Atlas Orthogonal work.

 Dr. David Asks some important questions of interest to Asheville residents - Chiropractor Asheville Dr. David Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Asheville chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
