We welcome you to The Balanced Atlas, your San Francisco NUCCA chiropractor. We apply a gentle touch to the uppermost vertebrae of your neck. This non-invasive treatment provides you restoration to not only your upper body, but it also will correct issues with the rest of your spine. NUCCA treatment became popular after its discovery in 1966.
Since 2007, Dr. Allen Harrison has continued this longstanding legacy. Dr. Harrison uses this therapeutic technique to pinpoint the cause of symptoms and poor health instead of just providing surface symptom relief. Dr. Harrison applies this treatment to patients seeking another option besides using potentially addictive drugs.

Every day I hear story after story from patients and parents explaining how Chiropractic care has changed their life and the immeasurable impact it has had on their entire family. Every day the results we see with Chiropractic amaze even me, and I make it my mission to show up every day dedicated to improving the health of as many families as possible.
Harrison's simple, fast, painless procedure noticeably increased blood flow, removed muscular tension, cleared my thinking, improved balance, and deepened the connection with the body. I recommend everyone get this done. Dr. Harrison will apply a number of very light and subtle corrections that move the spinal bones of the neck very carefully.

We believe the best approach to caring for the spine is with the Upper Cervical Chiropractic method of NUCCA. With NUCCA, there is no popping, twisting, or cracking of the spine; instead utilizing a gentle, precise method of measuring and correcting spinal subluxations (misalignments). View a typical misalignment.
Our goal at The Balanced Atlas is to allow everyone to experience the benefits of NUCCA Chiropractic care. We understand that this is a very confusing time for everyone as healthcare laws and insurance coverage seems to change daily. We are dedicated to establishing and maintaining a relationship with you, not your insurance company.

I've been coming to The Balanced Atlas to see Dr. Harrison for neck pain and tension headaches with numbness and tingling down my arms. Treatments have improved the discomfort and decreased my headaches by 90 percent. I had tried so many other treatments without this kind of result.
Dr. Harrison is knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate and empathetic.
I highly recommend him.

I got into a car accident in June 2021 and this place was highly recommended. Dr. Harrison is so passionate and educated in his work. I’m so grateful I was given his name as a referral. I was given a handful of referrals and after talking to each practice I felt his practice was the route to go. I will absolutely recommend him to friends and family moving forward! He is so genuine and really cares for his patients. It’s been 3 months since I’ve been seeing him weekly and I’veonly continued this long because I actually feel better! He really takes the time to understand and

I had a bad spill 3 months ago that gave me an upper thoracic whiplash. I was hoping the pain and discomfort would go away by itself and though some of it did, the healing came to a stand still after 2 months so I sought Dr. Harrison's help. Not only does my back feel better but he has been helping me with a 25 year old nagging neck injury. Dr. Harrison's methods are not the same as the other chiropractors I've been treated by in the last 25 years. Dare I say that NUCCA magic is working!?

Dr. Harrison has helped straighten out my posture immensely! When I first started going my alignment was off by 4 inches. Now just a couple of centimeters. I now only have to go back once a month.
I had spinal fusion surgery and am fused from the base of my neck to my waist. I didn’t think I would ever be able to see a chiropractor for an adjustment. It’s amazing how he just gently presses in your neck and aligns your whole spine. I highly recommend him.

I was experiencing a lot of lower back and hip pain before I found the balanced atlas. The fact that my treatment began with x-rays meant a lot to me. I was able to see just where my problems were, which I feel is very important. Over a pretty short time (3 visits about a week or two apart) I have felt better, and also been able to see my progress. I love Dr. Harrison’s demeanor and style compared to others. I have already recommended the balanced atlas to friends and acquaintances that are having issues like mine.

I suffered a debilitating injury in 2004 which left me in chronic pain. The manipulation of the atlas is gentle enough to barely feel it. (Although, my jaw was also misaligned and I could feel that shifting as my treatment continued.) I've had improvements to my balance and posture that help keep my pain at manageable levels. It's very, very worth it to come in for a visit. Especially if you have persistent issues with your alignment shifting to sad places. It might mean your atlas needs a little outside help to put everything back where it belongs.

Dr. Harrison of the Balanced Atlas is an extraordinary practitioner who has provided me, my family, and several friends with excellent re-alignment and terrific healing over five years. I take my health very seriously, exercising regularly, doing yoga for 25+ years, barre classes, hiking, optimized nutrition, and more, and Atlas Balancing keeps everything tuned up, pain-free, and functioning at the highest performance, with great wellness and joy. Everyone should benefit from Dr. Harrison's expert work.
