Products

What products does Atlas Clinical manufacture?

Atlas Clinical manufactures professional chiropractic treatment tables and therapy aids.

What types of chiropractic tables does Atlas Clinical offer?

Atlas Clinical manufactures a range of versatile and durable chiropractic tables, and a selection of more specialist tables.

The main requirement for a chiropractic treatment table is vertical height adjustment, or ‘verti-lift’ which raises the working height of the table up & down to suit the height of the clinician and the technique being performed. This verti-lift feature is the central feature of all our tables except for our static models.

The RC2 table is designed as a cost-effective versatile treatment table to cater for the most highly requested features of chiropractic tables.

The RM series of tables are Atlas Clinical’s flagship products: they have the capability of 4 drop mechanisms, thoracic flexion, pelvic flexion distraction, electrically motorised pelvic flexion distraction, air powered drop mechanisms, and pelvic lateral flexion.

The McTimoney series of tables have been designed specifically for McTimoney chirorpactors to incorporate a bespoke ‘pedestal’ style head section.

The B series of tables are a very simple table – wide and long like the McTimoney table, with a normal Atlas style head section.

The Static RM2 table is an RM2 without verti-lift, designed for clinics without reliable or reachable electricity supply.

Are Atlas Clinical tables suitable for therapies other than chiropractic?

Atlas Clinical tables are highly appropriate for use by osteopaths, physiotherapists, sports therapists, massage therapists and other clinical professionals. For those professions who do not use drop mechanisms or diversified technique, the B serries of tables is cost-effective option that also provides a larger surface area for the patient to lie on. For osteopaths, the lateral pelvic flexion available on the RM3 is very useful.

What materials and finishes are used in Atlas Clinical tables?

Atlas Clinical chiropractic tables are primarily constructed from hot rolled, bright drawn, or laser-cut mild steel. The steel frames are then painted with the powder coating process. Exposed metalwork is mostly made of stainless steel, which is then polished. Other parts including the base frame of the RC2 and RM tables are covered in vacuum formed ABS plastic. The upholstery pads are covered in PVC or pigmented leather to the customer’s specification.

Can Atlas Clinical tables be customised?

All of our chiropractic tables come with a range of additional options that a customer can choose to customise their table to their specific needs. Customers can also choose from vinyl or leather upholstery.

What accessories and therapy aids does Atlas Clinical supply?

Atlas Clinical manufactures Palpation Units, Posturometer Frames. The palpation unit is designed to assist in motion palpation – the patient is positioned at a convenient height, whilst the chiropractor is free to move in an arc around the patient.  The Posturometer frame uses guidelines to measure the alignment of the patient’s spine.

We also supply clinic consumables, including Head Roll Paper, Couch Roll Paper, and a range of practitioner gowns for all sizes.

How long do Atlas Clinical chiropractic tables last?

Atlas Clinical tables are engineered for lasting performance and long-term durability. Some of our older models have remained working for about 40 years. The company’s after-sales support and availability of spare parts means tables can be maintained and serviced for a long time. However, due to the availability of spare parts, we are slowly winding down support for some of our very old models.

Does Atlas Clinical offer after-sales service and repairs?

Are spare parts available for older Atlas Clinical tables?

We hold a stock of spare parts for all production models, previous models, and most of our production history, including some tables which are more than 30 tears old. However, due to the availability of spare parts, we are slowly winding down support for some of our very old models.

Is there a service plan or maintenance contract available?

Atlas Clinical recommends that tretamnet tables are srevcied once per year by an Atlas personaell, as these valuable high use professional products. We do offer bespoke service plans and contracts to educational establishments and private clinics on request.

Clinical & Technical Questions

Are Atlas Clinical tables compliant with UK medical device regulations?

What weight limits do Atlas Clinical tables support?

Length 170 to 220cm

Width 55 to 79cm

Are Atlas Clinical electric tables suitable for clinics without three-phase power?

Atlas tables are designed to use the domestic power supply and normal UK type G plugs. However tables can be ordered with the appropriate plugs for international orders, and all RM tables have an IEC connection.

To run a table off a 3-phase power supply would require a step-down transformer. However a clinic having exclusively a three-phase power supply would be so rare as to almost be fanciful.

Atlas tables are well suited and compatible for use with drop mechanisms, Thompson technique, activator technique, and other common chiropractic adjusting methods, tools, and techniques. For example:

Supine cervical adjusting, Atlas recoil, Cervical traction, Thoracic recoil, Lumbar recoil, Thoraco-lumbar drop, pelvic recoil, pelvic block & Thompson technique, lumbar side posture, pelvic flexion distraction, knee chest, extremity technique, supine pelvic traction, oscillating flexion distraction.
