Your Chiropractic Care Questions Answered

Our Practice Specializes in Upper Cervical Care

  • What kind of results should I expect with my first visit?

    Every patient is unique, but most people who visit our office for the first time report feeling noticeably better after their first adjustment.

  • I'm not sure if chiropractic is for me. Do you provide consultations?

    Yes! We will first discuss your concerns to determine if chiropractic is the right fit for you before moving forward with chiropractic care.

  • How long will my first visit take?

    First visits typically take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours depending on your case. Your doctor will perform a history along with a physical exam before deciding if X-rays are needed.

  • Where are you located?

    Atlas Clinics is located in Pompano Beach; we also have a location in Palm Harbor. Our Pompano Beach location’s address is 41 N Federal Hwy Suite D, Pompano Beach, FL 33062.

  • Do you accept walk-in patients?

    While we will never turn a patient away, we would prefer that you call our office prior to visiting.

  • I don't have symptoms; should I still get checked?

    Yes, many patients choose to get an examination before they experience symptoms. This is a smart decision and is exactly what the doctor recommends. You can have pressure on your nervous system and not have noticeable symptoms, and likewise, you can have pressure in your nervous system and have several symptoms.


    The symptoms of a heart attack first begin while you are having a heart attack. Be smart about your health... get your spine examined in our office. Prevention is ALWAYS ideal.

  • I'm an athlete; can Atlas Clinics give me the edge?

    YES, as an athlete it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between regular soreness and symptoms of an underlying cause. 


    All athletes must be examined weekly (at least) and adjusted if necessary, especially during the season. You want to function with a clear nervous system during all aspects of practice and game time.


    Imagine this: running, jumping, and tackling (or getting tackled) with an abnormal weakness in your arms, legs, and core. Not good! 


    You want to prevent injury every chance you can get.

    If you're an athlete, call our office to get examined immediately.

  • I have had neck surgery; can you help me?

    Yes, we will examine your case and decide based off your history. We have had many patients with neck surgeries, fusions, etc. We are very safe when it comes to the type of care we provide.

  • When will I notice improvement from my adjustment?

    Most patients experience immediate changes from the first adjustment.
