Spine Arts Center

The Atlas Orthogonal technique uses a percussion instrument and digital X-rays to precisely align the top cervical vertebra. This non-invasive method improves spinal balance and nervous system function, addressing conditions like migraines, sciatica, and chronic pain. Patients experience lasting relief without twisting or cracking motions.

Board-certified doctors provide personalized nutrition plans using whole food supplements and dietary strategies. This service addresses vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic concerns while complementing chiropractic treatments for comprehensive wellness outcomes in patients seeking drug-free solutions.

This non-thermal laser treatment accelerates tissue repair and reduces inflammation for musculoskeletal injuries. FDA-cleared for pain management, it enhances healing post-adjustments while offering drug-free relief for conditions like tendonitis and arthritis without invasive procedures or recovery time.

Customized exercise programs strengthen musculoskeletal structures and maintain spinal alignment. Developed alongside chiropractic care, these home-based routines prevent recurrence of postural imbalances and improve mobility for long-term musculoskeletal health maintenance in active patients.

On-premise digital X-ray technology provides precise spinal assessments for accurate Atlas Orthogonal adjustments. This immediate diagnostic capability allows comprehensive treatment planning while eliminating the need for external imaging referrals during patient visits in our Springfield location.

I started seeing Dr. Lim for nutrition in 2019. I am a teacher and I was getting sick every single month from students at school - mainly the common cold that just wouldn't go away. Dr. Lim changed my life! Since going on her nutrition plan, I lost 15 lbs (I was thin to being with) and replaced it with muscle. My immune system repaired and I have had not been sick in 2 years. I have been exposed to several people with Covid this year and never developed any symptoms or even felt "tired" myself. Dr. Lim is a caring, brilliant doctor and I could not recommend her nutrition services more highly. If you're looking for a naturopath or someone who does nutrition response testing, Dr. Lim is for you!

I heard about the SpineArts Center from another clinic, and I am so grateful! I was really struggling when I first saw Dr. Krakos. He was patient and listened to my problems and then began treatment. I had never tried Atlas Orthogonal adjustments before and am so glad I did. My back was so bad, it took some time, but it was the first chiropractic treatment to give permanent help. Thank you Dr. Krakos. I really appreciate your help:

I so wanted to love this place! I came for migraines and while I'm sure they help some people I found zero relief. I did stop treatment after 6 visits but I expected to see some improvement by then. I went back to my neurologist and she solved my migraines so after four months of constant pain I am now nearly migraine free! Honestly my biggest complaints were 1. A patient standing at the desk completely maskless during the height of the pandemic.

I understand needing to remove mask for treatment but this person was just hanging out at reception and when I mentioned it to reception they just sort of rolled their eyes like what ya gonna do. I wish they'd told them to put a mask back on or not come back it's against public health orders and made me super uncomfortable so that was my last time coming back 2. I've called multiple times asked for my insurance re-embersment check which they called to tell me they have but still haven't sent!

I also asked to have my MRI disks sent back to me and still don't have those I hate to be so negative but this was just my honest experience, like I said I really wanted to like this place and no one was unkind or rude just a disappointment.

Dr. Lim is wonderful, and I'm so pleased to have found her a few months back when I really needed help! I was having serious issues in my neck and upper back to the point where I could hardly move my upper body without severe pain. My mom had recently heard about Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic so I figured it couldn't hurt to see what it was about. I would have tried anything at that point! My expectations were shattered by the end of the first visit, with a clear introduction to the effects of the atlas being "out of whack" and seeing those in real time on my x-rays, which Dr. Lim took the time to explain thoroughly despite all the questions I threw at her.

Since then, she has continued to be patient with my curiosity throughout the past few months of adjustments, and I am feeling so much better! I have seen results since after the first adjustment and continue to be amazed that my pain level has subsided so substantively. The office staff is so lovely and helpful as well, special thanks to Whitney and Kelly!

When I walked into Spine Arts early this year, I was in so much pain. From a scale of 1-10, I had pain at a 20. Today, as I write this review after 3 months of seeing Dr. Lim, I have zero pain. Prior to finding her, I had spent so much time and money working with other doctors/TMJ specialists without any relief. I believe the lord led me to this place and I am so grateful to God and Spine Arts to be pain free today. Dr. Lim is patient, thorough, caring and just an overall amazing doctor. Praise be to the almighty God, who reigns!

I cannot thank them enough! I tell everyone that has back and neck problems to go see Spine Arts. I've had neck problems for 16 years. I am now pain free! I love the Atlas machine, one click and you don't feel a thing. I will never go to a chiropractor that does not have one of these machines. And Christine is great she knows exactly where to adjust. Thank you!

I am returning patient and referring patient! Dr. Lim has really helped me with my spinal issues and through her care even has cured some issues with my breathing that I was told from a very early age would require surgery to correct. I have been under the care of other chiropractor in the past and her specialty is by far the most effective and gentle of those received.
