Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic care is a very gentle, effective and proven Chiropractic technique that does not utilize physical manipulation. If you don't like being "cracked" this is a relief care you should try. Essentially if the head is not on straight then the spine cannot possibly be straight.

If you play video games professionally or as a hobby, one common ailment that may concern you is back pain. While there don't seem to be any studies on the number of gamers with lower back problems, it wouldn't be a surprise to find out the number of chronic pain sufferers was higher than average. If neck pain is one of the most common symptoms of migraines, both before and during an attack, it is clear that the two are linked.

In 2008, I had a really bad car accident and ended up with an untreated subluxated atlas and compressed nerves. I would consistently get nerve pain running down the front of my shoulder and at times I couldn't sleep because of it. Dr. Hejny helped me get back to a place in my life where I could sleep again. Where painkillers failed, his scientific approach to my spinal alignment, realistic expectation-setting, and top-notch application of knowledge quite literally healed me to a point where I could start addressing the muscular imbalances I acquired over a ten year period.

I am in my mid-40's and have been to various chiropractors since I was about 10 years old. I was 99% skeptical that Dr. Hejny could actually make a difference for me. I went to quality chiropractors over the last 30 years, but even right before coming to Dr. Hejny, I would go 2-3 times per week. Once in a while I could go 1x per week. It was always my atlas (C1 Vertebrae) and other chronic neck and upper back pain. I have been in chronic pain my entire life. Dr. Hejny started adjusting me in September 2019 and my pain is almost 100% gone. My atlas now stays in place! I still have some muscle tension

Dr. Hejny is the smartest doctor I've ever met, hands down.
Orthogonal chiropractics is the smartest approach to body alignment I've ever experienced. Think about a swing at a park hanging by 2 chains and the right chain is jacked way at the top, with the links locked. You can't fix it no matter how much you wiggle or pull on the chain and the seat hangs stubbornly crooked.
As a massage/shiatsu therapist I can see the misalignment in people's bodies, just like the aforementioned swing. I can massage them as thoroughly and adeptly as I can but if the top of their "chain", which is C1/atlas, is

You could say that after my past experiences with chiropractors and medical doctors that I was a skeptic. I work in the construction trades and my job can be strenuous and very physically demanding. Soreness and stiff muscles kind of just come with the job. For the past five years now I have struggled with shoulder and neck pain, along with… Headaches pretty much on a daily basis. I started seeing Dr. Hejny at the beginning of June and am happy to say that the endless cycle of morning headaches has stopped!! Since my 3rd visit I haven’t had one! Dr. Hejny’s treatments were able

Today was my third appointment with Dr. Hejny and my second adjustment. I can't begin to tell you how much better I feel already!! I also feel so validated--- Dr. Hejny knows where my pain and discomfort is before I even tell him. It's important for me to say--- he's not your typical "neck crack'n chiro". He's so gentle and uses methods differently than the old school experiences I had growing up. So, if you've been to a chiro and had a bad experience or just didn't feel like it worked-- try Dr. Hejny. He will not disappoint!

I'm a massage/shiatsu therapist for a major healthcare system here in the Twin Cities. I first heard about Dr. Hejny from a client of mine who presented with a hip issue, seemingly out of the blue. I worked on him for over a year with this issue as did another massage therapist who specializes in postural restoration but we could not make his hip feel better for more than a day or two. Finally, the day came when he announced to me that his hip pain was miraculously gone. He went on to explain with much joy and near befuddlement that he'd gone to see a chiropractor who specialized in

This place is seriously the best. For 10+ years I have been looking for this place. I've gone to all types of chiropractors who give different types of care. Dr. Hejny is the best. I legitimately get excited when I know I get to go to an appointment. I used to get horrible headaches and my lower back was always tight and my hips always felt uneven.… Conventional chiropractors, chiropractors who use TRT, massage therapists, nothing worked long term. Literally one adjustment I felt better. The next day I felt like a new person. It was so encouraging and Dr. Hejny and the staff seemed to sincerely

Dr. Hejny is the absolute best and he takes pride in his work. I am a hairstylist and was having extreme neck and back pain along with constant numb fingers! After my first visit with Dr. Hejny I felt like a million bucks! I've been seeing him for over a year nowwith no pain anymore! Dr. Hejny gave me my life back!

I have had chronic upper cervical issues for about 30 years. I found and was treated by other decent chiropractors, however my adjustments never held and I was always in pain again after a few days! Dr. Hejny and the Orthogonal method is like nothing else! It’s truly a miracle to have found him and experience the relief I have!! I can now go 2-3 weeks between adjustments!! Hopefully even longer after a while. All the staff here rock too!!

After years of searching for a Chiropractic treatment that would do me some good, I was fortunate enough to run across Dr. Hejny. He’s done wonders for my back pain, and help relieve some of the symptoms of the GERD From which I suffer. I highly recommend him; he’s knowledgeable, and continues his education.

I met him at a Women's event a few months ago. He was offering neck chair massages. I WAS SOLD! I have seen him a few times now and I have confidence that my neck pain will be relieved. I had never heard of an atlas, but I am fascinated by the types of adjustments he offers. I look forward to going!

I have been going to Dr. Hejny for the past couple of years and he has made such a difference in my life. My back and my neck are feeling so much better! He is incredibly personable and a fantastic chiropractor. The staff there is awesome! It’s always fun to catch up with everyone when I come in for my appointments. You aren’t treated like you are just a patient, you feel like you’re part of the team. I highly recommend checking out Hejny Chiropractic!

I've been to many chiropractors and while some have been helpful, I've found that Dr.Hejny has treated the underlying causes rather than the symptoms I go to the chiropractor for and I have so much more pain relief! No "cracking" which has caused me pain at other chiropractors. The best story i have...My plantar fasciitis was a problem for 2 years and tried all of the recommended treatments by both medical and chiropractic practitioners, but Dr. Hejny made the difference! Amazing.

I had dealt with neck and back pain and spasms for years and regular chiropractic and massage only brought me temporary relief. After seeing a new massage therapist, he referred me to atlas chiropractic. I had never before heard about the atlas or atlas adjustments, but after doing some research I called and set up a consultation with Dr. Hejny. Initial x-rays showed that my head was sitting very tilted on my neck which made me have all kinds of spinal structural and postural issues (explains all the pain and spasms over the years).

I visited Dr. Hejny because I was in severe pain. My lower back was strained from a physical job and from carrying around my wonderful, growing 2 year old. It was amazing that adjustments to my Atlas released the pain in my lower back. I felt physically relived after the first session but as I continued through my full treatment plan I have noticed all sorts of additional wellness (better sleep, more energy, renewed posture). Dr. Hejny is knowledgeable and kind. He continues to educate me throughout the process and makes the whole experience welcoming. The Atlas style of chiropractic care is very

Having been to more than my share of chiropractor's for over 40 years, I can honestly say that Dr. Hejny is by far the most intuitive chiropractic healer who uses an authentic and gentle approach to healing, wanting his patient's well-being to improve and remain improved for having a pain-free, higher quality of life. Just finding out about the importance of having your atlas aligned before any other adjustments will actually take hold was a real life changer. Thank you Dr. Hejny, for all you do.

I saw Dr. Hejny after injuring my tail bone. I couldn't sit, and it was painful to walk up the stairs. After the first adjustment I felt a 1,000 times better. I have continued to see Dr. Hejny, after suffering from a few horseback riding accidents as a child I had become used to the constant pain in my left shoulder. Not anymore- I am able to go things I couldn't- like kayaking without pain! I live in NYC now and when I come back to visit I usually stop at Dr. Hejny's office straight from the airport.

My lower back is really bad. Two back surgeries later I'm now seeing Dr. Hejny for care because he gets to root of my low back problems. Yes, I have flare ups but within a couple days I'm good to go again. He explains everything so I'm not left wondering what he just did. I call him my special "voodoo" doctor. I was skeptical but now I'm a believer. Thank you Dr. Hejny for taking such good care of me and spending the time you do to ensure I'm feeling better before I leave your office!

I have received great care from Dr. Hejny. After he adjusted my Atlas and my body adjusted to the new alignment, I was able to toss out all my shoe inserts since both legs were in alignment. I was thrilled with the results and so glad to not need those inserts after 20+ years of using them! I now need lots less treatments since my body holds the alignment much longer than with prior chiropractors. I have used many other chiropractors but have never had as good results as with Dr. Hejny and the Atlas orthogonal method.

I had chronic neck issues my whole life, and had tried over 20 different chiropractors over the years. There were only three who helped me. That said, Dr Justin Hejny has been the best!!! He has advanced training in a technique called Atlas Orthogonal. He took detailed x-rays and used a gentle device to make exact, minute adjustments that resulted in major improvements for my spine & wellness. No other chiropractor I had ever seen had taken the time & care to gather such detailed x-rays and make a plan BEFORE adjusting me. Dr Hejny really melds the science and art of his craft, and I have total
