Customer Comments
“I have been working with Dr. Ellwanger for treatment of neck/back pain and stiffness and I can highly recommend him as a very effective practitioner in atlas orthogonal chiropractic. He is attentive to my concerns as his patient and provides the highest quality of care. As my condition has changed over time, he has adjusted my appointment frequency accordingly so I’m not paying for treatments that I don’t need. I have been very impressed w/ atlas orthogonal as a treatment and with Dr Ellwanger as a provider.”
Vertebral Subluxation Chart
The Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) is a chiropractic scientific model depicting a spinal condition with numerous components (see a more in-depth description of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex for more info). One of the components is called neuropathophysiology which describes how the Vertebral Subluxation Complex produces interference to normal function of the nerve system.
The chart below illustrates which organ systems can be affected by a subluxation at a given spinal level. Please note, the exact spinal levels may not exactly match the symptoms – the nerve system is incredibly complicated and this chart is a basic illustration. For more information, please ask your Chiropractor.
