I have had migraines for over 50 years and have tried everything and nothing has worked. I recently watched the Doctor’s TV Show and saw the segment on your Atlas Orthogonal method. I am interested in finding someone training and qualified to do the procedure in my area. I live in the Inland Empire area of Riverside County in California. I have these migraines daily and can’t take it anymore. Please help me find someone that I can go see. Thank you!

Dr. Kerr,
I have been going to chiropractors for years for my neck and lower back problems. The person that I received the most relief from my neck was Dr. Ree, Acupuncture. But as far as my back no help. My lower back always pops out and then about 45 min. later I start getting pain down my right leg, but never had any numbness. Doctors tell me my problem is at the L4/L5. Is your procedure something that could help me, or is it specifically for neck injuries? When I go to the chiropractor he tells me my feet (usually the R) is off and also the hip is too. The name I have been told is that I have “Degenerative Disc Disease”. Please help, looking for some possibilites. I did have injections in the spine and that didn’t help either…. Look forward to a response.
Thank you,

I first heard of your name while watching the Montel Williams episode in Philosophy class at school (Parker College of Chiropractic). This caused a lot of debate in school. I’m part of the Upper Cervical Club at Parker, and we loved the ongoing debates. I will be attending the AO Basic Module 2 in a couple weeks as well as the Blair Intermediate/Advance Module in July. I hope to in the near future decide which technique I will ultimately choose. Thank you for your devotion to Upper Cervical Chiropractic. One question…there was some debate in school whether or not you also have a medical degree. Thanks!

Dear Dr. Kerr,
I’ve seen you first at The Doctors. I’m a rheumathoid arthritis since my late teens. I’m now 45 yrs old and had underwent wrist fussion when I was 25 after giving birth to my first baby and had a total knee replaced at age 35. I am presently having pain all over from head to foot. I have some headaches bec. of my spondylosis. Still suffering from multiple joint pain. I’m still searching for the perfect answer to my ailment. I wonder if your approach will be suitable for me.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
Evelyn
I have had a head injury due to a car accident. Patrick has helped me tremendously to manage the chronic pain that I now live with. I would strongly recommend anyone to make an appointment. (multiple appointments) Patrick was recommended to me by someone to was encouraged to have back surgery and due his treatments with Dr. Kerr has not had any surgery.
Hi I have MS for the past 27 years and in a lot of pain at the moment. I watched a clip you did on athlas orthogonal and wondered if you might know if there is a doctor in ireland doing this procedure. Yours edel
