Dr. Alex Halstead
Dr. Alex Halstead, founder of Atlas Upper Cervical Chiropractic, hails from Michigan where he completed his undergraduate studies in kinesiology with a minor in health promotions at Michigan State University. His chiropractic journey continued in California at Life Chiropractic College West, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree and trained in the knee chest technique, specializing in adjusting the atlas (C1 vertebrae). This technique profoundly impacted his health, fueling his passion to open his practice and share the benefits of knee chest upper cervical care.
Before earning his degree, Dr. Alex honed his skills during a preceptorship at Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Marin in Mill Valley, CA, learning from top experts in the field. Certified in Activator, Knee Chest Upper Cervical, and full spine techniques, Dr. Alex’s practice caters to a wide range of patients, including athletes and those suffering from conditions like sports injuries, post-concussive issues, PTSD, headaches, anxiety, and depression. Chiropractic care runs in his family—his father is a veterinarian certified in animal chiropractic, and his sister is a chiropractor in Atlanta, both of whom have greatly inspired his approach to care. At Atlas Upper Cervical Chiropractic, Dr. Alex is committed to enhancing your well-being and looks forward to being a part of your health journey.
