Atlas Orthogonal Adjustments
Are you dealing with chronic pain from a whiplash injury from a car accident or some other injury? Our gentle chiropractic adjustments can realign your spine and help get you out of pain. Our doctors specialize in a safe adjustment of the C1 vertebrae that involves no cracking or popping and relives your neck and back pain.
Upon anatomical examination of the cervical spine, specifically the upper cervical spine, we note that the average head weight is 14 lbs and it is supported mostly by the atlas vertebrae which weighs approximately 2 ounces. The atlas is positioned directly under the head which connects to the rest of the spine. The Atlas was named after the Greek mythology god Atlas that holds up the world on his shoulders.
The Atlas vertebrae is the most moveable structure in the spine and performs best when it is in the Orthogonal position, a scientific term describing a two 90 degree angles opposing each other. These lines in our technique would describe the head and cervical spine in the vertical position in alignment and the atlas centered and level.
Trauma from various injuries disrupt this delicate body relationship and then can cause various painful conditions depending on the specific spinal irritations. When these traumas occur to the upper cervical spine, which usually are automotive accidents or slips and falls, and repetitive trauma from poor sleeping positions and lifting improper, can cause a misalignment and irritation to the upper cervical spinal cord and cause a restriction of flow of cerebrospinal spinal fluid leading to head and neck pain and distorted function of the part of the brain and spinal cord effected. This is a newer found concept in the research that helps explain how this injuries lead to misalignment of the upper cervical área, mainly the atlas and requires correction with the atlas orthogonal instrument to restore function.
