Atlas Chiropractic of Fort Wayne

We regularly talk with you all in our office about staying hydrated and drinking enough water. But it’s not just about water. Our bodies also need other nutrients, including salt! We know a lot of people order LMNT online, but we’re happy to announce that we now carry it in our office as well! We love this stuff and the ingredients list and hope you’ll enjoy it just as much as we do!

One Year! It’s been exciting meeting all of the new faces that have come through our doors! Our first day open was August 14, 2023 and we’ve gotten to know quite a few of you wonderful people since then! We’ve loved the reception of bringing NUCCA and upper cervical specific chiropractic care to Fort Wayne! For anyone with appointments still this month, be sure to grab your small gift from us as a thank you for trusting us to partner with you in your health journey! Thank you Fort Wayne!

The craniocervical junction (CCJ) is the area where the skull meets the upper part of the spine (cervical spine). It includes important structures like the brainstem and the upper spinal cord. Problems at the CCJ can potentially affect the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or blood to and from the brain, which may lead to neurological symptoms.

While brain fog itself is a broad symptom with many potential causes, issues at the craniocervical junction can sometimes contribute to neurological symptoms that might affect cognitive function.

NUCCA care takes a very specific and gentle approach to bringing the head and neck into a more correct position. Thousands of patients have experienced the benefits of the type of care for over 50 years. Visit www.NUCCA.org to find a NUCCA doctor near you.

Here we grow again! The centerpiece of our second adjusting room just arrived! Dr. Emily is excited to get the new hydraulic adjusting table unboxed and in use very soon! This raising and lowering table from means our patients with less mobility will soon find it much easier to get on and off the adjusting table! Stay tuned for more pictures as we complete the setup of the new adjusting room!

We’re thrilled to introduce Audrey as the newest member of the Atlas Chiropractic team! Raised in Fort Wayne, Audrey returned to her hometown after a college adventure at Indiana University in Bloomington and a few years exploring the East Coast. With a background in education and a passion for helping others, Audrey is excited to bring her enthusiasm for chiropractic care to our practice.

Audrey is always up for a chat about shared interests like reading, chess, or tennis—or simply to hear about your week! She loves connecting with the community, whether it’s visiting the farmers market or checking out local businesses. After her journey through Indiana and Massachusetts, she’s excited to call Fort Wayne home once more.

Outside of work, Audrey enjoys going on hikes or walks, spending time with her cat, and diving into movies or crafts with friends and family. Please join us in giving Audrey a warm welcome! 🎉🙌

July 10 is Chronic Disease Awareness Day. Many people with migraine disease have just given up and assume they have to be on some form of medication the rest of their lives and just spend some days in quiet and dark rooms when a bad attack hits.

The good news is that life doesn’t have to be that way. With NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic care, which is what we provide here at Atlas Chiropractic of Fort Wayne, many people have seen a decrease in the severity and frequency of migraine attacks. In fact, that’s one of the reasons Dr. Emily chose to become a NUCCA chiropractor herself. She noticed huge reductions in migraine related symptoms and was able to completely stop taking migraine medications altogether.

The consultation is complimentary, so all you have to do is reserve your time through our website’s book now link or you can give us a call anytime at 260-399-9020. We look forward to meeting you soon!

Happy 4th of July! Be safe celebrating our Independence.

Thank you Mandy! We love it when people share the positive impact that NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic care is having on their lives!

If your story sounds like Mandy's, we'd love to talk to you! The consultation is completely free! Text us or give us a call at 260-399-9020 or reserve your own consultation through our website at atlaschirofw.com! We look forward to meeting you soon!

Responsibilities:
Assist the doctor with preparing adjusting rooms and helping with patient flow into the resting room and checking out. Answer phones, schedule appointments, and manage patient records.

About Us:
Atlas Chiropractic of Fort Wayne is the first and only upper cervical specific chiropractic office in Fort Wayne, Allen county, or any of the surrounding counties. Dr. Emily Staples uses the NUCCA upper cervical technique to help people achieve their optimal health and be able to live their best lives. We opened in mid August 2023 and have grown to the point where we need an enthusiastic and wellness-minded person to grow with us. We’ll teach you all about NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic and its benefits as well as how it differs from the more traditional full spine chiropractic.

This position is for 24 hours per week Monday through Thursday. (Our normal office hours are posted at atlaschirofw.com.) There is a potential to expand beyond 24 hours per week as the office continues to grow.

While we would love to meet each and every one of you in person, please do not interrupt our normal office hours by dropping your resume off in person. Instead, please e-mail your resume and desired pay to Dr. Emily at [email protected] using the subject “The Body Is Designed To Heal”.

20.7 percent. According to the National Institute of Health, that’s the percentage of women globally that have migraine. Chances are that you or someone you know experiences migraine attacks of varying severity, and perhaps one or more of them have been told that they need medications for the rest of their life.

One of the reasons Dr. Emily became a NUCCA chiropractor is that she is also a NUCCA patient. She originally sought care for other issues but was surprised to find out that her migraine attacks had reduced in both frequency as well as severity and she was able to stop taking migraine medications altogether.

If you want a doctor that truly understands migraine, give us a call to reserve your spot for a complimentary consultation. 260-399-9020. We’d love to help you learn more about how we may be able to help you too!

As we head into spring, many people love to find ways to get outdoors. Whether it’s hiking, biking, golfing, or even something like a ride on a motorcycle… migraine can get in the way and prevent all sorts of fun. Migraine affects an estimated more than 10 percent of people worldwide and is 3 times more common in women than in men.

Dr. Emily’s own experience with how NUCCA reduced the frequency and severity of her own migraine attacks is one of the primary reasons she decided to become a NUCCA chiropractor herself. If you want someone that understands migraine, call or text us anytime at 260-399-9020 to schedule a complimentary consultation. Migraine doesn’t have to slow you down.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! When it comes to your health, don’t rely on luck alone! Upper cervical chiropractic care doesn’t just help those experiencing pain of some sort. Your atlas (C1) could be out of alignment and your body isn’t letting you know it quite yet through the signals of pain. Don’t wait until your check engine light is on to start thinking about regular maintenance items like oil changes and tune ups.

If you’d like to learn more about how NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic can help you, give us a call at 260-399-9020 anytime! We’d love to schedule a complimentary consultation for you with Dr. Emily!

Happy Pi Day! Fun fact for today - while Dr. Emily doesn’t directly use pi in the analysis and calculations for your individualized adjustment, she does use the diameter of a circle as part of that calculation.

One of the things we talk about with our patients constantly is about water intake. If you’re not drinking enough water (preferably with some form of healthy electrolytes), you could experience a number of significant side effects of dehydration.

Staying properly hydrated is one of the recommendations we make for post-adjustment care as well. To learn more about the NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic method we use in our office call or text us anytime at:

We look forward to meeting you soon!

When people sustain a brain injury, the atlas bone that connects your brain to the rest of your body is also affected. If you know someone who has had a concussion or brain injury of some sort, and has continued to experience symptoms of pain, dizziness, or many other related symptoms, Dr. Emily and the NUCCA upper cervical technique she practices may be able to help!

The consultation is free. Give us a call or text us anytime at 260-399-9020 to reserve your appointment. We look forward to meeting you soon!

💯 If you get headaches, have neck or back pain, sciatica, or any number of other things, you could take a pain reliever. But that’s no different than putting a piece of black tape over the check engine light of your car if it comes on. You’re not fixing the problem, just ignoring that it’s there. It’s not going to really get any better, but it could certainly get worse.

If you’re taking some sort of pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medication on the regular, why not come in for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Emily and see if NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic care might be able to help?

Feel free to give us a call or text us anytime at 260-399-9020 to schedule your free consultation! We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Each year, up to 17 percent of women in the U.S. experience migraine attacks (compared with 6 percent of men.) Chances are that there is a woman in your life - a spouse, friend, or family member - who experiences these painful episodes.

Migraine relief is one of the reasons Dr. Emily decided to become a NUCCA upper cervical chiropractor, having experienced first-hand the benefits of this type of care for herself. If you or your loved one has migraine attacks and is looking for relief, give us a call or send us a text at 260-399-9020 anytime. We’d love to schedule a complimentary consultation for you to talk to Dr. Emily and see how we may be able to help!

From one Emily to another - thank you Emily! When you find something that has such a positive impact on your life, you just can’t help but tell others about it right? We’re so very grateful for all of the friends and family that have been able to experience NUCCA right here in Fort Wayne because our awesome patients have told them how much it’s helping them!

If you’d like to experience the NUCCA difference for yourself, give us a call or text us at 260-399-9020 to schedule your complimentary consultation! We’d love to show you what NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic can do for you!

Today is day 30 of our Whole 30! 30 days of no added sugars, dairy, grains, legumes, alcohol, and more. It’s not about weight loss (though a lot of people do lose a few pounds on it), it’s about eliminating certain things from our diet to see if there may be something that is causing you to feel fatigued or inflammation or other symptoms. (See whole30.com to read more!)

Just as going to the gym is going to be more beneficial with a healthy diet, so too any type of chiropractic (including the upper cervical chiropractic we practice in our office) is going to be more beneficial with a healthy diet as well.

If you’d like to learn more about how NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic may help you, call or text us at 260-399-9020 anytime or reserve your consultation through our website! We look forward to seeing you soon!

This is one of those Whole 30 dishes we do year round. The trick to using palmini is rinsing it good when it comes out of the package and then boiling for 10 minutes. It’s a great alternative to grain-based pastas when you’re looking for something healthier.

We cook up a little zucchini and then add to the Muir Glen roasted garlic tomato sauce (note the fantastic ingredient list with no added sugars!), and then put it over palmini and add some Whole 30 compliant sausage (no added sugars or artificial preservatives or flavorings). When it’s this easy to simply swap out products with added sugars and other things that aren’t good for you, why continue to eat the stuff that isn’t healthy?

Healthy food can sometimes be a little more expensive. Diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and other health issues are much more expensive. And eating healthy doesn’t mean you can’t occasionally have some cinnamon rolls or that piece of cake or whatever either. But eating 80 percent healthy is a LOT better than eating bad stuff all day every day.

Inflammation from some of the things you eat affects your nervous system and your healing process from getting adjusted at the chiropractor as well. The healthier you eat, the better your body continues to function and hold those adjustments.

If you’d like to learn more about the upper cervical specific adjustments we use in our office and how they can help you with everything from migraine to vertigo to fibromyalgia and more, call or text us at 260-399-9020 anytime to reserve your free consultation! We look forward to seeing you soon!

As an upper cervical specific chiropractor, Dr. Emily has seen numerous people with complaints relating to this condition. It’s becoming more and more common among kids and teens even.

If you or your children or other family members have issues with neck pain or text neck or other related issues, perhaps it’s time to reserve your complimentary consultation with Dr. Emily!

Just how healthy is a ? Here’s an alert Dr. Emily’s husband David received a few days ago.

Your heart should not have to work very hard when you’re sitting down or resting. The higher your resting heart rate, the greater your chances are of having a variety of health conditions, including a heart attack.

When under care at Atlas Chiropractic, we may primarily focus on the alignment of your C1, or atlas, bone. But we also look at the big picture of your health and are here to help you in your health journey to be as healthy as possible!

The consultation is free. Call or text us at 260-399-9020 anytime or reserve your time slot online through our website. We’d love to talk to you about your health journey and how we can help! We look forward to seeing you soon!

We had a great time at the Fort Wayne Komets game last night. We were also able to get on the big screen and get the NUCCA brand in front of a couple thousand people.
