Atlas Orthogonal and Activator Methods Training

Dr. Ben McDowell became Board Certified in Atlas Orthogonal through the Roy W. Sweat Research Foundation in 2014, and studied the technique under Dr. Roy Sweat, the developer of the program. Atlas Orthogonal is an instrument-assisted approach focused on the upper-cervical region and does not rely on forceful manual rotation of the neck.

McDowell Chiropractic offers instrument-assisted options, including Atlas Orthogonal and Activator Methods. Activator Methods uses a handheld chiropractic instrument and may be used in areas throughout the spine; Dr. McDowell uses it more frequently in his practice.
