Atlas Orthogonal Adjustment
This precision technique corrects misalignments in the atlas vertebra using a percussion instrument. By restoring proper alignment at the skull-spine junction, it alleviates nerve pressure causing headaches, migraines, and neurological symptoms. Patients benefit from improved posture, reduced pain, and enhanced nervous system function through this gentle, non-invasive approach.
Subluxation Correction
Targeted corrections address misaligned vertebrae throughout the spine that may compress nerves. This treatment helps relieve conditions like sciatica, arm numbness, and digestive issues by restoring proper nerve communication. Our method combines detailed x-ray analysis with precise adjustments for lasting structural improvements and symptom relief.
Migraine Relief
Specialized care focuses on correcting cervical spine misalignments that trigger migraines and tension headaches. Patients experience reduced frequency and intensity of headaches through gentle adjustments that improve blood flow and reduce nerve irritation without medication or invasive procedures.
Sciatica Treatment
This service targets lower spine misalignments causing sciatic nerve pain. By realigning lumbar vertebrae, we alleviate pressure on nerve roots to reduce leg pain, numbness, and mobility issues. Patients report improved movement and decreased discomfort through our structured, non-surgical approach.
Postural Alignment
Comprehensive assessment and correction of spinal misalignments contributing to poor posture. This service addresses chronic pain from forward head posture, uneven shoulders, and other alignment issues through sequential adjustments that restore natural spinal curves and improve musculoskeletal balance.

Report
Dr Saggau has changed my life! I had almost daily migraines for over the last seven years. They ranged from to severe to mild but were always there. I did a number of treatments from Botox to Physical Therapy with little relief. This was a last ditch effort before Surgery on my neck. Now I have only mild symptoms of a Migraine when the weather changes. The nerve pain that radiates to my arm is also lessened.
I am now able to live the life I want to. I go for hikes and exercise almost daily. I don't miss out on plans because of Migraines. I would highly recommend Atlas chiropractic and Dr. Saggau to any one suffering from migraines or any neck pain.

Report
Dr. Saggau has reduced the pain and effects of misalignment of my atlas, resulting from being rear ended in a automobile accident years ago that caused severe whiplash. The method is more gentle and more precise than with many chiropractors. His rates were less than I was paying in Apple Valley.
