Tonya came to Compass Family Chiropractic with neck and lower-back discomfort.
Her Individualized Care Plan
Tonya completed a 24-visit care plan over four months.
A Measurable Change
Her measured pelvic unleveling changed from 10.01 mm on April 27, 2026, to 2.78 mm on August 27, 2026.


An Individual Result, Objectively Tracked
Tonya’s measurements provide one example of how the Compass team tracks structural findings over time as part of individualized care.
What Pelvic Leveling Measurements Tell Us
On a standing X-ray, doctors can measure the difference in height between the two sides of the pelvis in millimeters. Because the pelvis supports the entire spine, a significant difference can be associated with compensation patterns higher up, sometimes showing up as lower-back or even neck discomfort.
Why Neck and Lower-Back Discomfort Can Be Connected
The spine works as one connected system. When the foundation is uneven, the body often adapts elsewhere to keep the head level and eyes forward. That’s why the Compass team evaluates the whole spine instead of focusing on only the area that hurts.
What a 24-Visit Plan Includes
- A comprehensive initial exam and imaging when appropriate.
- Individualized chiropractic adjustments throughout the plan.
- Home recommendations to support progress between visits.
- Follow-up measurements to compare structural findings objectively.
Busy Schedule? Consistency Still Matters
Many of our patients are busy parents and professionals across Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and Brookhaven. A clear, time-bound plan helps patients know exactly what to expect, stay consistent, and see how their measurements compare at the end.
If you’re dealing with ongoing neck or lower-back discomfort, a thorough evaluation is the first step toward understanding what’s happening and whether chiropractic care is a good fit for you.
