The cranio-cervical junction (CCJ) is located at the base of the skull. The CCJ contains the critical structures of the lower brainstem, dura, vertebral arteries and suboccipital muscles. Misalignment of this area can negatively affect the nervous system, blood/csf flow and overall posture. Our practice is designed to help patients regain function and decrease pain by improving CCJ alignment and strengthening the muscular system.
We specifically deploy Atlas Upper Cervical Care and Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT(R)) to achieve this. Atlas Upper Cervical Care uses 3-D digital analysis and sound wave technology to asses and correct CCJ misalignment. Muscle Activation Techniques(R) uses range of motion testing and precise muscle stimulation to assess and restore function to muscles with decreased contractibility.

After your first correction, you may begin to feel changes in some of the symptoms associated with your case; even within the first 24 hours. The long-standing compensating posture (body imbalance) has been released and the healing process has begun. Our goal in this phase is to establish a pattern of "holding" the new alignment and minimizing time "out" of alignment moving forward.

I would give Dr. Collins 5 stars for me, and 5 for my youngest son.
My youngest son was diagnosed with HIE at birth and has been blessed with an amazing treatment team. But they all said that he really needed a neck adjustment. But it needed to be the RIGHT person. Someone knowledgeable, calm and patient.
Dr. Collins is ALL of those things and more. He spaces his patients out so he has time to really listen and work with each person at their speed. He has only had to adjust my little guy (2 years old) a couple of times, and each time my son remained so calm. No tears during the adjustment at

I’ve struggled with neck and back issues for quite some time and always had trouble with traditional neck adjustments. Dr. Collins’s approach uses a gentle non-invasive yet effective method of adjustment. I would have to get my neck adjusted on a regular basis in the past, my adjustments would never hold, but now I can go months without needing one. I’m grateful that I found Dr. Collins!

This is a long overdue review, after 10 years in total agony, after going to many specialists, to no avail, I found doctor Collins while browsing on Instagram. Today I can say that I have my life back! My pain was located in my lower limbs, legs, lower back making it impossible to do the most mundane tasks and creating a sense of constant fear that at any moment my back would go out. Stepping out of a car was a thorough thought process on how to maneuver my body in order to avoid pain and or strain. The technique used by doctor Collins is quite amazing completely non invasive. There is no manipulation

I’ve been seeing Dr. Collins for a year now. I first came because I was so desperate to not be in pain anymore, and I couldn’t handle the debilitating headaches anymore. After the first time he fixed my neck, I cried because I was so thankful to not be in pain anymore! Life is so much better when you don’t have headaches!! PLEASE, if you have pain in your neck or if you have headaches, please go see Dr. Collins. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. It is so worth it! I was seeing a general chiropractor 3 times a week which was so much more expensive, and it wasn’t helping me at all. I don’t have anything

Talk about a healing touch!! Dr. Collins and his staff are truly in the business to see people healed, not just provide temporary relief. I have been going to chiropractors since 1998 due to scoliosis & sports injuries. I can honestly say I feel better than I ever have, now that I have been under Dr. Collins care these past 2years! I highly recommend doing the M.A.T monthly in addition to having your neck checked.

From the perspective of a newly graduated chiropractor...
The experience was nothing less than fantastic! As I just said, going to Dr. Collins’ office is an experience. As you stepped through the door, you immediately feel a comfortable atmosphere surrounding you.
I spent the morning following Dr. Collins around to observe the quality of his work and I was very, very impressed. Not only does he use extreme specificity in every action he takes, but he also takes all the necessary time to listen. Listening is a forgotten art of the modern workd I find it most needed.
