An Engineering Approach to Chiropractic Care
A proud U.S. Navy veteran and Cum Laude graduate of Life University College of Chiropractic in Atlanta, GA, Dr. Roberson brings both discipline and innovation to his practice. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology (Pre-Med) and is a certified specialist in Health Ergonomics as well as an experienced Chiropractic Sports Physician.
A Unique Perspective on the Human Body
From the start of his career, Dr. Roberson approached chiropractic care through the lens of engineering. His goal has always been to understand the intricate mechanics of the spine and uncover the root causes of dysfunction.
Specialization in Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT)
Dr. Roberson’s expertise lies in Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT), a method that views the body as an interconnected system rather than isolated parts. SOT highlights the relationship between the spine and extremities, helping explain how structural imbalances contribute to pain and discomfort.
Commitment to Posture and Performance
To further enhance patient outcomes, Dr. Roberson became certified in Ergonomic Assessment, allowing him to evaluate how posture and daily strain impact overall health. His dedication extends to years of postgraduate study in:
- Clinical biomechanics
- Rehabilitation
- Sports injury management
- Somatic muscle re-education
A Doctor Who Thinks Like an Engineer
By combining chiropractic expertise with an engineering mindset, Dr. Roberson delivers care that is precise, holistic, and deeply focused on restoring function and improving quality of life.
DR. OLIVER C. ROBERSON
Chiropractic has an overall way of looking at the human body. It’s based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. The body is in essence completely controlled by the brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the vast networks of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking.
While it’s often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here to treat back and neck pain, this is simply a small piece of what the profession really is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with more significant issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, headaches and many more.
We are proud to provide a state-of-the-art facility for the highest quality chiropractic care available. It is one of our top priorities to protect the well-being of our valued patients. We are confident that you will feel right at home in our office as we welcome all patients as if they were family.
Advanced Specializations and Collaborative Care
While completing his studies in the SOT technique, Dr. Roberson began to see the importance of the upper cervical region and its relationship to complex cervico-thoracic complaints. He decided to investigate Atlas Orthogonal procedures. During his research, he began to understand the importance of the upper cervical (C0-C2) region and the effect that it has on the rest of the spine. He needed to explain the relationship between the two techniques, and thus began his study in clinical biomechanics. Dr. Roberson, along with the very impressive late Dr. Elliott Alpher (DMD, Sleep Apnea and Myofascial Pain Specialist), worked as a specialty team on patients with TMJ Dysfunction and signs of Cervical Dysfunction. During the 11 years of team co-treatment, Dr. Alpher and Dr. Rob focused on Cervical Spine treatment with patients who suffered from Chronic headaches, Myofascial Pain and TMJ Dysfunction with a very high degree of success.
Dr. Roberson is a member of the Sacral Occipital Technique Organization, The American Chiropractic Association, American Academy of Spine Physicians, American College of Sports Medicine and The Academy of Spinal Biomechanics and Rehabilitation.
