“Dr. Alex is wonderful!!! My first visit today was a consultation for persistent neck and shoulder pain. He took time to discuss my medical history and asked questions to help him understand what my issues are. He took x-rays, did a hands-on exam, and again took time to explain details in a way that I can understand.
The office is clean and modern, with the latest up-to-date technology and designed for maximum comfort.
We made an appointment for next week to start a treatment plan and I’m looking forward to working with him.
One more special perk of the visit was being greeted by Olive, the Corgi??

About Dr. Alexander Halstead
Dr. Alex Halstead is the founder and doctor at Atlas Upper Cervical Chiropractic. He is a native of Michigan and attended Michigan State University (Go Spartans!) where he completed his undergraduate degree in kinesiology with a minor in health promotions. After completing his B.S., he moved to California to attend Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, CA where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. At Life West he was trained in knee chest technique, which specializes in adjusting the atlas (C1 vertebrae). He has personally felt the impact of this technique on his overall health, which has inspired him to open his own practice with the intent to introduce others to the benefits of knee chest upper cervical care.
Before graduating, Dr. Alex completed a preceptorship at the Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Marin in Mill Valley, CA where he was trained in the specific technique of upper cervical care from the top chiropractors in the field. Dr. Alex is certified in Activator, Knee Chest Upper Cervical and full spine techniques.
As a former athlete and lover of all sports, Dr. Alex loves being able to take care of athletes as well as their families and friends. His dedication to his craft allows him to help those experiencing a wide array of conditions including sports injury, post concussive issues, PTSD, headaches, anxiety, and depression to name a few. For other conditions treated see Heath Concerns. At Atlas Upper Cervical Dr. Alex provides personalized care for every patient’s health concerns.
Chiropractic is not only Dr. Alex’s profession, but a huge part of his personal life and upbringing. His father, Dr. Tim Halstead, is a veterinarian certified in animal chiropractic and his sister, Dr. Kerstin Halstead, is a chiropractor in Atlanta, GA. Both have served as huge inspirations to Dr. Alex and the level of care provided to patients at his practice.
At Atlas Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we have a passion for helping you to function at the highest level possible. We would love to be a part of your health team and look forward to serving you soon!
