What is chiropractic care? in Reno

Chiropractic care focuses on the muscles, joints, and nerves, especially the spine. Chiropractors find the source of pain and restore how your body moves, without drugs or surgery. Here's what that looks like at Atlas.

What chiropractors do

Chiropractors are doctors who diagnose and treat problems with the musculoskeletal system: the bones, joints, muscles, and nerves that let you move. Dr. Covert earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic after a degree in neuroscience.

At Atlas, care goes beyond adjustments. We combine adjustments, soft tissue work, spinal decompression, focused shockwave therapy, and corrective exercise, choosing the tools that fit your problem.

Who it's for

Chiropractic care can be adapted for almost anyone, including:

  • Kids of all ages and teens
  • Pregnant patients
  • Athletes and active adults
  • People with desk jobs or physical jobs
  • Older adults who want to stay mobile

What to expect at your first visit

  • We talk through your history, your pain, and your goals
  • We examine how you move to find the source of the problem
  • We explain what's going on in plain language and lay out your options

Our approach

We aim to fix the problem and help it stay fixed, then give you the tools to keep it that way. If something needs a medical doctor or specialist, we'll tell you.

Where we see you

We have two offices, both inside Parkway Athletic Club and open to everyone, no gym membership needed. South Reno is on Double Diamond Parkway, close to Damonte Ranch and South Meadows. Sparks is on East Lincoln Way, near The Outlets at Legends.

What patients say

★★★★★
“Hands down the best chiropractor I've ever been to. I came in with chronic back pain, and within a few weeks he helped completely resolve the issue. He's incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about his patients. I would 100% recommend coming here, especially if nothing else has worked. I've spent thousands on doctors, specialists, imaging, and physical therapy with no results—this was the only thing that actually helped.”
