Providing Healing and Comfort to Highly Sensitive Persons
For Neurodivergent & Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) trying a new healthcare approach can feel overwhelming, especially if you identify as neurodivergent or a highly sensitive person (HSP). As someone who understands the unique challenges that come with heightened sensitivity, I’ve created an environment that prioritizes comfort, understanding, and individualized care.
Highly sensitive persons (HSPs) and neurodivergent individuals often experience heightened awareness of physical, emotional, and sensory stimuli due to an increased central nervous system response. This heightened sensitivity can make traditional healthcare approaches, including certain types of chiropractic care, feel too invasive or overstimulating. However, Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic is different.
Why Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic is Ideal for HSPs and Neurodivergent Individuals
Atlas Orthogonal care is a gentle, precise, and highly effective technique that focuses on restoring nervous system balance without forceful adjustments. It is an excellent option for those who are sensitive to touch, sound, or environmental stimuli.
1. A Gentle Approach
- No cracking or twisting: Unlike traditional chiropractic methods, Atlas Orthogonal uses a specialized instrument to make precise adjustments to the atlas (C1) vertebra without any abrupt movements.
- Comfort-focused care: The procedure is so gentle that many patients are surprised they’ve even been adjusted! This makes it an ideal option for individuals who may feel anxious or overwhelmed by physical interventions.
2. Nervous System Regulation
- Calming overstimulation: The Atlas Orthogonal technique directly influences the brainstem, which plays a key role in regulating the autonomic nervous system. This helps shift the body from a hyper-alert state (“fight or flight”) to a calmer “rest and digest” state.
- Improved resilience: By enhancing nervous system function, this technique helps HSPs and neurodivergent individuals better adapt to sensory input and environmental stressors.
3. Safe and Predictable Care
- Consistency and predictability: Each adjustment is customized to your specific needs and performed in a consistent, precise manner, minimizing any potential discomfort.
- Trauma-informed practice: For those with sensory sensitivities or a history of trauma, this approach offers a safe and empowering experience.
Benefits of Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic for HSPs and Neurodivergent Individuals
1. Reduced Overstimulation
- Calms the nervous system, decreasing hypersensitivity to sound, light, touch, and other stimuli.
- Promotes a feeling of grounding and relaxation, which is particularly beneficial for those who feel easily overwhelmed.
2. Emotional Regulation
- Helps balance the autonomic nervous system, reducing feelings of anxiety or panic often triggered by sensory overload.
- Supports improved emotional processing and resilience in stressful situations.
3. Improved Sleep
- Relaxes the body and mind, allowing for deeper, more restorative sleep—a crucial factor for overall well-being in highly sensitive individuals.
4. Physical Relief
- Alleviates physical symptoms that often accompany nervous system dysregulation, such as tension headaches, neck pain, jaw tightness, and digestive discomfort.
- Improves posture and muscle relaxation, reducing the physical strain that can exacerbate sensory challenges.
5. Enhanced Focus and Clarity
- Optimizes brain-body communication, which can improve cognitive function, focus, and the ability to process sensory input.
- Supports neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD or autism, by enhancing overall nervous system performance.
Why Neurodivergent and Highly Sensitive Individuals Need Specialized Care
HSPs and neurodivergent individuals often navigate unique challenges that require a deeper understanding of their needs. Traditional approaches may unintentionally create stress or discomfort due to their intensity or invasiveness. Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic, however, offers:
1. A Patient-Centered Experience
- Empathy and understanding: I recognize the importance of creating a safe space where you feel heard and respected.
- Individualized care: Adjustments and care plans are customized to your specific needs and sensitivities.
2. A Holistic Perspective
- Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, Atlas Orthogonal care aims to address the root cause of nervous system imbalances, empowering your body to heal naturally.
3. A Gentle and Effective Solution
- By focusing on precise, non-invasive adjustments, this technique delivers profound results without triggering sensory overload or discomfort.

Your Path to Wellness Starts Here
In my office, I prioritize your comfort and health. My process is designed to guide you through each step, ensuring you feel informed and at ease. From your initial consultation to ongoing care, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Step 1:
Precision Imaging
The first step is taking four x-rays of your upper cervical spine. These detailed, 3D images allow me to assess the alignment of your atlas and provide precise measurements of the misalignment. Every individual’s anatomy is unique, and these images ensure that your adjustment is customized for the most effective and gentle correction.
Step 2:
Gentle Adjustment
During the adjustment, you’ll lie comfortably on your side. I carefully position your head and neck to achieve the most accurate alignment. Using a specialized instrument, a controlled, gentle impulse is delivered through a stylus placed behind your ear. Despite its advanced design, the adjustment is entirely non-invasive and painless. Many patients are surprised by how gentle the process feels, with some reporting that they don’t feel the adjustment at all.
Step 3:
Post-Adjustment Care
After your adjustment, your body begins to realign and heal. You may notice sensations like warmth, tingling, or muscle twitches as your nervous system responds to the correction. These responses are normal and indicate that the adjustment is stimulating improved brain-to-body communication.
