About Us

Boutique Care

We don’t rush patients in and out of our office. We take a lot of time with our patients and are committed to building long-term health and long-term relationships. Our new patient visit can take from one to four hours, depending on your specific situation. Ongoing visits are 15-20 minutes. Your care is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Our practice is built on honesty and integrity, which begins the moment you walk through our doors. The first thing we communicate is that we can’t help everyone—we will go over your health history and conduct postural exams to determine whether your spine is misaligned or not, and if we can help you. If we believe we can help you, we’ll let you know. If we can’t, we’ll help point you in the right direction.

Our Services

Get Started With Care

Our specialty is NUCCA chiropractic, extremely gentle and painless. There’s no twisting, cracking or popping.

As an alternative to surgery, patients may elect non-invasive spinal decompression therapy to gently relieve pressure.

Laser therapy is considered a highly effective tool to increase healing potential and decrease pain and inflammation.

Thermography let’s us know if there’s anything happening in your body that might indicate potential disease.

An Invitation to Health!

Our new patient special, An Invitation to Health, is a free consultation with Dr. Felix to determine if upper cervical work is a good fit for you.

The consultation and posture tests are free of charge, and there is no obligation to continue with care, regardless of our findings.

Dr. FELIX cares about YOU and accepts challenges. I have had lower back pain and leg pain for over a year. I had great pain walking and taking steps. Starting with my Primary Care doctor, I have seen the orthopedic, the neurologist, the physical therapist, a pain doctor, a spine surgeon and lab for xrays, etc. Armed with all the information I could, I presented the issue to all who opened their check lists ( and bag of tricks) to no avail and no relief for me. My golfing buddies said YOU MUST SEE DR. FELIX, he had helped them relieve various chronic and serious aches and pains. Once again I gathered my MRI and met Dr. Felix. First of all, his response to my call was prompt and professional. In our first meeting he LISTENED and asked many pertinent questions. He developed a program to address the notable L4 and L5 problems. There is also a nagging lower back problem no one was able to identify. It made sleep, rising from the bed and chairs and getting in and out of the car painful. Dr. Felix met that challenge and suggested where that problem might be. In conjunction with Dr.Felix I have pursued his conclusion and coordinated my efforts with a personal trainer and a new pain physician. At this point, I believe he is spot on. In my past five months of treatment, I can now walk with some pain, I have boldly begun taking the stairs and have slept well (no crying to sleep). I am CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC and know that I am still “not out of the woods” but am so much further along in care than I ever would have thought to be possible. Bottom line for me, be your own advocate, talk to others and pursue as many avenues as possible . Living with chronic pain is not the course I wanted. I am so happy to have found Dr. Felix. He CARES, he LISTENS and, did I say, he is MOST KIND.

Last year I injured my back 4 times and decided that it was time to do something about this chronic problem. After reading many reviews I booked an appointment with Dr. Felix. He aligned my spine with xrays and a very gentle adjustment and gave me some exercises to strengthen my core muscles. I do these exercises every other day, they take about 20 minutes. Nine months and counting and no more injuries. Thank you Dr. Felix!
Jill Nicholl
NUCCA has changed my life! After years of going to traditional chiropractors multiple times a week, PT, spine specialist and tons of different medications, I am finally pain-free! All thanks to NUCCA and DR. Felix! His technique is gentle, and effective. He is amazing!
Donna Netzley
I’ve been seeing Dr. Felix for about a year and a half. I have always had a top-notch experience from walking in the door, getting adjusted, resting, and leaving. I hate going out of alignment but I love going to Atlas to get adjusted. I highly recommend Dr. Felix and I’m sure Dr. Erica is just as skilled.
Atlas Spine & Wellness Care has made an enormous difference in my general overall health, as well as my spinal health.
