Formerly Westerville Chiropractic & Nutrition | New Name, Same Trusted Team & Location!
INTEGRATIVE HEALTH FOR A LIFE FULLY LIVED
"Atlas Rising is more than just the name of my practice — it’s the name of a personal truth I’ve lived, and continue to live.
When I started my career in chiropractic, I was drawn to the Atlas — the top bone in the spine — because I saw how powerful it was. This one vertebra, just beneath the skull, influences everything: posture, balance, how the nervous system functions, how we heal, and even how we feel.
But the more patients I saw, the more I started noticing something deeper. People weren’t just coming in with misalignments. They were carrying so much more. The weight of their lives. The physical pain, yes — but also the stress, the overwhelm, the emotional exhaustion, the feeling of being disconnected from their own body. And I could relate.
There were seasons in my own life when I looked strong and steady on the outside, but inside I felt like I was carrying a thousand invisible pounds. There were times I kept pushing through — professionally, personally — when I was tired, stuck, or disconnected from my own spark. And that’s when the word ‘Rising’ started to take root.
Because rising is what I’ve had to do — again and again. To move forward. To realign. To wake up to my own strength and light when it felt buried. So when I say Atlas Rising, I’m not just talking about a bone or a business. I’m talking about the moment we begin to lift. The moment we realign not just structurally, but emotionally, energetically, and purposefully. The moment we realize we don’t have to carry it all alone — and we don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode.
That’s what this place is about.
It started with chiropractic, but it’s grown into something much bigger — a space where people come to reconnect with their bodies, their energy, their vitality, and the version of themselves they may have forgotten was possible.
Whether through chiropractic care, red light therapy, pelvic floor rehab, coaching, nutrition, or soon, retreats and group experiences, our goal is the same: to help people rise into better health, into deeper confidence, into a life that actually feels like theirs again.
A life fully lived. "

Dr. Doug Endel, D.C.
Founder & Owner
Dr. Doug Endel is the founder of Atlas Rising, a transformative wellness clinic in Westerville, Ohio, formerly known as Westerville Chiropractic & Nutrition. A licensed chiropractor for over 18 years and owner of the practice since 2010, Dr. Endel brings a deeply personalized and progressive approach to healing—one that blends precision chiropractic care with modern tools for transformation, energy, and long-term well-being.
Before his career in chiropractic, Dr. Endel studied Biomedical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, where he also competed as a collegiate hurdler. A former state champion in the 300m hurdles, Doug’s own experiences with sports injuries and athletic performance fueled his early appreciation for chiropractic. From middle school through college, it helped him stay active, recover faster, and stay connected to his body. That impact, combined with his love of anatomy and physiology, led him to pursue a more natural and hands-on path in healthcare—one focused on the body’s innate ability to heal when aligned, supported, and understood.
Dr. Endel specializes in gentle and precise upper cervical adjustments using the Blair Technique, as well as full spine and extremity care. He believes true health starts by addressing the root cause—not just chasing symptoms—and that care should always begin with the least invasive, most natural options first. His philosophy is simple: healing should be personal, purposeful, and empowering.
Today, Atlas Rising reflects that belief. What began as a chiropractic office has evolved into a growing healing space that blends structural care with red light therapy, decompression, neuromuscular work, nutrition, and coaching. Whether in-office, online, or off-site at events and retreats, Dr. Endel’s mission is to help people realign with their energy, their body, and their purpose—so they can rise into a version of themselves they may have forgotten was possible.
Outside the office, Doug stays grounded through time with his two children, Parker and Cam. Whether cheering on their games or staying involved in their busy schedules, he considers being a present dad one of the most meaningful parts of his life.
