Atlas Health is your resource of information, where our goal is to allow our patients to develop faith, confidence, and belief in our process. Our developed Atlas Method is different from your average doctor visit.
The Atlas Method begins with patient history, exams, labs, and diagnostics. Once the variables related to the underlying physiological disturbance are identified, an intervention can be created specifically for you that addresses each variable. As these variables are addressed, the probability that those symptoms arrest, stop their progression, or disappear all-together becomes greater.
We call this the Atlas Method.
The Atlas Method approach will take you through three phases of care: Investigation, Intervention, and Post-Care. Below is a more detailed introduction to each phase.
INVESTIGATION
We take an extensive medical and personal history. This includes looking deeper into values, motivations and goals. We include a review of both the short term and long term. We use detailed forms to subjectively gather information on metabolic, hormonal, immune and neurological capacities or imbalances. And we partner with cutting edge laboratories to objectively quantify and validate a client’s experience. We also perform in house diagnostics that include video nystography, posturography, tilt table assessment for pots, spark motion gait assessment, graded treadmill test for return to play, maximum aerobic efficiency assessment, advanced recovery performance electrotherapy diagnostic body composition testing (BIA) and real eyes evaluations. The end result of the investigation phase is the Atlas Formula for Success. This is tantamount to your path to recovery.
The secret to The Atlas Method is that the investigation phase is ongoing, we continually look at the objective and subjective variables and shift based on the variables. This method was born from unsatisfactory results based on existing protocols that did not fit our clients specifically enough to get them to their goal.
INTERVENTION
Now we know what, why and how from step one. Here we implement the plan formulated. For this formula to be solved the plan needs to be strategically implemented. Prioritization matters. Everything must be implemented at the right time. This an active changing process that will adapt with the client as he or she transform into a better functioning version of yourself. Interventions may include receptor based therapies, chiropractic, color, sound, brain based therapy click here for a larger list of brain based therapies, kinesiology, exercise, supplements / herbs, dietary considerations (restrictions or reintroductions), massage techniques, deep relaxation, cognitive distortion strategies, motivational interviewing and electrotherapy. The goal is to get the ball rolling in step two and remediate as many variables as we can.
POST-CARE
This is the at-home strategy to continue sustained progress in phase two and prevent recurrences. In this phase we do follow up labs, at-home brain based exercise, supplement and dietary suggestions and aerobic efficiency training. In some cases, we refer to primary care when mediation or change in medication is needed.
Sleep hygiene modification or implementation may be suggested. And we use emotional and cognitive awareness exercises to reinforce personal values and acceptance / commitment to the process.
During our investigation phase, we begin the process with a case review to discover these underlying physiological issues and identify the variables. Once we have developed a formula for these variables, we reach the intervention phase consisting of strategies implemented using multiple healing modalities of care. This results in a personalized formula for each individual consisting of a specialized set of protocols to aid in each identified variable. Lastly, a post-care plan is implemented that addresses a patient’s action plan pertaining to diet, supplements, exercise programs and other care treatments.
