Dr. Prathap is a very professional and friendly person. I was a bit skeptical at first as there are mixed opinions about chiropractic treatment. But after trying it for myself, I am happy to say that I am able to operate normally without any medication for almost a year now after struggling with pain for more than 2 years.

Doctor is very clear in his communication on what he thinks is wrong and what he is doing. The treatments have been very effective. Videos on excercises to follow up are great. I have recommended several patients to Dr. Prathap. They have all been satisfied.

I was struggling with my back from past 6 month.. I know I waited a long time which I regret when I visited Dr. Prathap. I would have been relieved from the pain and sufferings much earlier. The reason is that I didnot know him before. With the help of Practo finally I narrowed down my search and made the appointment.
When I visited him, he explained me the probabale cause of my discomfort and suggested me full spinal chord MRI.
As he suspected, It turned out to be disc bulging in the lower spinal chord (precisely in L4 and L5 region). According to Dr. Prathap my back was in bad condition which I could not agree more since I was not able to hold my self more than 10 minutes while walking and standing position. On top of that there were symptoms of my whole spine was too stiff.(common problem who sits in the offices for longer hours)
I have to tell you when I got my lower back spasm I was not able to get up for two days with the fact that I was an avid yoga practioner from the past 6 months. So anybody can get this I believe.
He suggested me to go with 20 sessions which involves chiropractic session of 15-20 minutes in the clinic and few exercises to do daily twice in home(not very intense but essential to make the strong lower back and pelvic area.It will not take more than 10-15 minutes)
The things which I liked about him is that he was friendly and convincing and he made me believe that current problem is mechanical and it will be corrected as it is. After suffering for so long time, you can understand how hard it would be to believe.
Anyway, earlier the sessions were thrice in week to make the recovery faster where he treated me with utmost care and immediately I felt the improvement. After 10 sessions I visited him once in week and after 15th sessions every alternate weeks. I could able to recover 60-80% in 10 sessions. I liked visiting the clinic and * **** *** **** *** ********* ****** I received in each session compelled me to visit the clinic for the next appointment.
Overall, with the suggested home exercises and chiropractic sessions in clinic, I can feel myself again 95% percent fit. I would not say 100% which would also a lot dependent on the home exercises and few tips he given to me while at work in the office.
I strongly recommend to consult Dr. Prathap when you are in such acute pain and you really want to come out of it without any complex medical treatment.
P.S. Take care of your spine! there is nothing more important than your spine which keeps you moving ahead ☺️.
Thanks doctor for pain relieveing sessions!😊

Visited For Back Pain TreatmentShoulder PainNeck Pain
I had been suffering from intense back, shoulder and neck pain for the last 10 months. I had trouble rotating and turning my neck, my left shoulder blade would sometimes become immobile and I would wake up with intense pain in my upper and middle back. These episodes were sporadic but would last for several weeks each time. I went to several physiotherapists - and underwent weeks of ultrasound therapy and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). I also applied heat packs multiple times a day to my back. The relief was always temporary and the pain would come back within a few weeks.
A friend who had gone through a similar issue recommended Dr Prathap. I was a little sceptical at first about going to a chiropractor, but the excellent reviews on Practo convinced me to give it a try.
There are a couple of things which are important to me when dealing with a medical issue/ a doctor:
- How knowledgeable is the doctor?
- Is he/she able to get to the root of the problem?
- Is he/she respectful of my time (I'm a busy professional and hate having to wait)?
- Does the doctor do a good job of explaining the problem and following up with the correct treatment?
Dr Prathap checked all these boxes. He is very well trained and is able to articulate the problem and the solution with ease. He was thorough in his investigation and only then proceeded to work on my back. He was professional and courteous throughout the session and made me feel comfortable. The relief from the pain was instantaneous.
After the session he took me through a couple of simple exercises - exercises that I could do even at work while sitting - to relax and straighten my back (I was also emailed the exercise routine in the form of a pdf). He also set up a follow-up session to take me through a few extra exercises.
The best part - we were able to identify the problem! Temperatures drop in Bangalore significantly at night and for people who sleep on their sides under a ceiling fan - this could spell trouble. The muscles jam up and lock segments of the back bone. Since then I have made specific changes (thicker cover and slower fan speed) to counter this issue.
The exercises have also helped me in maintaining a proper posture. The pain has thankfully not resurfaced.
I want to highlight one other point. Most doctors take the patient's time for granted. And while there can be situations (medical emergencies, surgeries, etc) which are unavoidable, a lot of doctors make flimsy excuses for their lack of punctuality. For our second session Dr Prathap was running late by about ten minutes. He informed me about this delay well in advance via SMS. I have never seen this happen before. His respect for his patient's time is admirable. I wish more doctors made the effort to be punctual.
I would highly recommend Dr Prathap to anyone suffering from back, neck and shoulder pain issues.

Feedback:Mr.Prem --> Backbone of Atlas Chiropractic Clinic. His efficiency of handling patients and treating customers is remarkable. A very sweet person with a loving nature who is also conscious about his health as seen from his Water Bottle :) Whenever I have had a query or requirement, Prem has been the man for me. Whether it's to guide first time patients to the clinic, or to create,cancel or reschedule appointments or his daily weather predictions - Prem has always brought a smile to every patient in the clinic. His hard working nature coupled with willingness to help others has everyone admiring him. Lovely to interact with him every single time.Dr.Ritika and Dr.Raheesa --> Physiotherapists to the rescue. The Right and Left Hands of the Clinic. Dr.Ritika and Dr.Raheesa have always been present to help their patients with their soul and heart. In all my sessions with them, they have made sure to take extreme care and gently exercised their treatment plans upon me. ****** ************* *** efficient with their work, they have always understood the problems and pain points of their patients and gone about the treatment step by step. They have explained the issues to their patients gently and worked their way towards building a great bond with them. Their patience with their patients is truly remarkable. Dr.Prathap --> The Brain of the Clinic and a gem of a person. I've been visiting Dr.Prathap since almost a year now, initially for a treatment plan and then maintenance henceforth. I was greatly impressed by the class and professionalism of Dr.Prathap. His vast magnitude and grasp of Chiropractics and mastery of the field made me very comfortable with him since the beginning. I had known about Chiropractics since a long time but had never undergone the treatment for the same. Without a doubt, I was nervous about the layman's understanding of "Bone cracking" technique. Dr.Prathap gently explains everything he does and the alignment process that he aims to achieve with everyone. I soon got accustomed to him and have never looked at a second opinion or doctor ever since. ** ****** **** *** ** *** **** ************ ******* ** ****** Dr.Prathap maintains a very joyful attitude with all his patients and I look forward to meeting him every single time. I've seen his clinic grow in the number of patients and staff members, I have seen him transform from a bachelor to a married man and I have lived a tourist's life in Kenya through his travel experience. I share a very special bond with Dr.Prathap and his helping attitude and serving nature makes him an excellent doctor and an ever better human being.My journey with Dr.Prathap, Dr.Ritika, Dr.Raheesa and Mr.Prem has been nothing short of magical. They have helped me relieve my pain, cracked jokes and shared experiences, made me a part of their lives and have become a big part of mine. I wish them all the best and success and hope to see them grow beyond limits defined.Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart :)
