Dr. Roberson (Dr. Rob) is a US Navy veteran and a Cum Laude graduate of Life University College of Chiropractic, located in Atlanta, GA. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology (Pre-Med). He is a certified specialist in Health Ergonomics and an experienced Chiropractic Sports Physician.
From the very beginning, Dr. Roberson began looking at the body from an engineering point of view. He wanted to completely understand the complexities and the reasoning behind the dysfunction of the spine. He began his studies with Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT) and specializes in it. This technique examines the body as whole; and not just individual parts. It explains the relationship of the spine and extremities and how they relate to an individual’s complaints of pain. Dr. Roberson also became certified in Ergonomic Assessment to better understand the effects that postural strain has on the body. He has devoted years in post graduate study to clinical biomechanics, rehabilitation, sports injuries, and Somatic muscle re-education.
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.
