Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use gentle, low-force techniques to correct spinal misalignments, alleviating pain and improving nervous system function. This non-invasive approach targets conditions like neck pain, back pain, and headaches. Patients experience relief through precise adjustments that restore natural body mechanics without popping or cracking.
Atlas Orthogonal Technique
The Atlas Orthogonal technique corrects the alignment of the first cervical vertebra using a precision percussion instrument. This method reduces nerve interference caused by misalignment, addressing chronic conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, and sciatica. Patients benefit from a gentle, evidence-based treatment that promotes holistic healing and long-term wellness.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy delivers low-level light energy to damaged tissues, accelerating healing and reducing inflammation. This non-invasive treatment targets soft tissue injuries, such as sprains and whiplash. It enhances cellular growth and vascular activity, providing pain relief with no downtime or side effects for acute and chronic conditions.

We treat conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel, and sports injuries with personalized plans.

Our family absolutely loves and totally trusts Dr Bill and Dr Adam. They are able to diagnose and treat issues that no "Medical Dr" or many Chiropractors can. Ultimate Professionals.

Dr. Bill Macchi and team are some of the best around! I have had experience with many chiropractors and I must say my experience here, both in terms of the treatment and relief I have gotten and in working with the office staff has been excellent. The precision and attention to detail given by Dr. Bill has provided relief from headaches and back pain that others have been unable to give. If you're in the area and looking for a chiropractor, look no further!

Incredibly professional, skilled experts! Dr. Bill is simply The Best! He is perceptive and knowledgeable in his field and is able to perform miracles! I no longer have Carpal Tunnel symptoms and when I experienced a cervical herniated disc in my neck, Dr. Bill and his friendly, experienced staff worked to alleviate my symptoms and I am now pain-free! Like a car receiving regular maintenance in order to run well, I will continue to enjoy regular "check ups" to keep my body performing at its best! Thank you Dr. Bill and the whole team for your continued, loving care!

Dr. Bill as he is affectionately called, is the best. I had a shoulder that couldn't stop hurting. I did therapy and very treatment but couldn't get pain free until I went to Atlas. The staff is amazing, everyone greets the patient by his/her name as soon as you walk in, greets and treats each patient with a smile and special care. You will have no regrets when you walk out of there.

Atlas Orthogonal has been able to relieve my symptoms, long term, after years of other chiropractors giving me only a few days of relief. They are also the best run healthcare practice I've ever experienced. Very impressed!
