Dr. David Nygaard

My experience at Atlas Brain and Body has seriously been life changing. I was having 14 migraines per month with shoulder and neck pain and my anxiety and nervous system was completely out of whack. I have been to see the Doc 6 times and had 2 atlas adjustments and after years of feeling terrible I am starting to feel like myself. I have had only one migraine since coming and had been receiving manual adjustments for years and atlas adjustments are where it's at. The doctor truly has a passion for what he does. I could go on and on about the staff they are friendly, knowledgeable, and have made me feel like family not to mention the cutest dog Jamal. The staff doesn't know this but Jamal is who helped me sit in my anxiety weekly coming back. He offers so much emotional support when I was first coming to the office with my entire nervous system disregulated. I wish more people knew about this type of chiropractic care.

Dr.Nygaard and Lesa are incredibly kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. My quality of life has IMMENSELY improved since coming here a year ago. I have Ehlers Danlos and was living with chronic pain, I feel like I’ve gotten my life back! I highly recommend this office to people with EDS like me.

As a 56 year old woman with Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, I searched for a chiropractor who works with cervical spine issues (and a focus on the Atlas) basically as a last resort effort before considering neck surgery. I found Dr. Nygaard and Lesa to be friendly, skilled and thoughtful with the approach to my treatment plan. I did not have high expectations and have been really wonderfully surprised at the difference in my pain, function , mood and cognition. My atlas (upper cervical spine) misalignment was contributing to so many problems and, as a nurse practitioner, I hadn't understood the magnitude with which the misalignment could contribute to nervous system problems and chronic fatigue symptoms. I am truly grateful for the treatment I have received and the improvements in all of my varied symptoms and function and encourage people who are considering neck surgery to try this kind of chiropractic care first!
