I have been under Chiropractic care for 19 years since a horrible wreck that ripped my atlas loose, got a head injury, and hurt my entire body. I have done more since then than I did before. I have had lots of fun and frustration. Don't ever give up. Have and do things you dream of before you completely wear out. Last year I drove to Alaska and had a blast. Needless to say It is starting to catch up with me. My husband of 14 years has been a blessing in my life. I have downhill skied, Cross country skied, Hiked, fished, camped and drove a 4x4 truck over high mountain passes. I love Rockhounding and I love to still get out. Until my number is up. God bless everyone. PS My diagnoses at the time of the wreck was to be a quadriplegic or dead. I still can do a good stagger.
If you haven't suffered from a Subluxation and consequently been to a Upper Cervical Doctor for an adjustment, you have no right to pass comments here discounting this guys theory. I personally suffered like dog for many years, and without this process I would likely be in a wheelchair or dead.
Does someone here experience pain from neck to feet due to Atlas sublaxation . Pain, popping shoulders knees,vertigo, I fell and hit my head and my neck popped.
10 months I had pain to feet knees vertigo ears pressure problems vision issues, panic attacks. Teaching martial arts. Sublaxed my facet joint between c1 c2. MRI's didn't see it. I learned a exercise to put it back through studying. 7 days ago I got it back in place. Tinnitus gone vertigo gone. Vision issues gone. Knee pain shoulder pain only if I move it to far (neck). I set up appointment to see phototherapy doctor next week. To get this handled.
Hello Dr, greetings from Colombia. I've been dealing with a lot of symptoms during the last year (dizziness, blurry vision, nausea, difficulty swallowing, headaches) and every single neurological test that was done to me came back perfect. However, a week ago a physical therapist noticed I have a slight C2 rotation, uneven shoulders and pelvis. Could all of this be related? Is there a cure for this instability? Thanks!
If someone has a true upper cervical subluxation would it not be reasonable to think that even if correction was made it would continually go back out time and time again leading to a lifetime of adjustments?? It just doesn't seem feasible that if something is subluxated in that area which is more than likely due to ligament laxity or damage it could ever be put back in place adequately with true stability.
Relax / massage the muscles around sublaxation, realign the vertebræ, flex under supervision, feel the dopamine. Repeat as often as needed, And then quit the lifestyle that prompted the sublaxation.
I am supposed to be dead from 19 years ago. I have done more since then ever having loads of fun and doing so much. I am somewhat hypermobile. No fun with pain but I can do more than people think.
That is well acknowledged in the field, it just did not make it on to this presentation. I believe that Amy Haas addresses it in this talk: ruclips.net/video/9fzQrmDbbWU/видео.html Essentially the brains somatic maps need to be re-wired. That takes time. In my own case I know that the worst of the poblem started with a severe whiplash, and one or more of the odontoid (C2) ligaments are disrupted. That is common This is covered here: ruclips.net/video/spMkX3XAWjs/видео.html And also in the book CranioCervical Syndrome and MRI- where it is addressed by a collaboration of chiropractors, neurosurgeons and radiologists. The medical side prefer the term craniocervical instability/syndrome, and the chiropractors prefer the more historical term "subluxation".
Well you would think it so, certainly given Scott Rosa's demonstration of ruptured apical and transverse ligaments of the odontoid process. However it seems that the afferent proprioceptive input from the muscles when the bones are enlocated is sufficient to govern good coordination in the neck. In any case practitioners warn against rough activity in the first few days post op. It is important to realise that there really is no good surgical option here, as surgical fusion will badly decrease afferent sensory movement from the upper cervical muscles, and that information from those tiny muscles is vital for maintaining the viability of brain cells.The reports from surgery seem to have been good so far- but this is a forseeable concern.
it isn't the most important subluxation, it is the only subluxation. the definition of a vertebral subluxation is a fixated vertebral misalignment causing nerve interference. this only occurs at atlas level. other inferior misalignments, fixated or not, are merely effect of atlas subluxation. the chiropractic definition of adjustment is the correction of a subluxation, therefore the only place an adjustment can be made is at atlas level.
That's part right, but not the whole story. The spine develops secondary deformities as a result of the upper cervical problem (C5/6, T 4/5 and L5 S1 in my case) and these also contribute to putting the upper cervical spine out of place. Ive had to have quite a few ajustments at those levels.
@@AndyJK45 You said it yourself, "The spine develops secondary deformities as a result of the upper cervical problem". If C1 is misaligned, all other vertebrae will compensate over time in a top down fashion (issues like herniated discs, tingling in hands and feet, sciatica, scoliosis, etc); not the other way around. Corrections to lower vertebrae will only provide temporarily relief and will continue to compensate/ misalign until C1 is aligned. So no, the secondary issues below C1 do not contribute putting C1 out of place. Only external factors will do that like auto accidents, poor posture, slip and fall, work injuries, etc.

M M Same here. 😎
I’m going to see an atlas orthogonal soon. Hopefully it can help me address my balance issues.

It can do all sorts of things. It can also cause misalignments of the legs. Therefore pain. So sorry to hear you hurt yourself.
Dude I'm fucked

Yes there is stem cells or prolotherapy or prp. U need to tighten the ligaments

Such a pity the acoustics and delivery are slightly Re-echoed, but enough to make the discourse not totally clear.
MM I totally agree,
it isn't the most important subluxation, it is the only subluxation. the definition of a vertebral subluxation is a fixated vertebral misalignment causing nerve interference. this only occurs at atlas level. other inferior misalignments, fixated or not, are merely effect of atlas subluxation. the chiropractic definition of adjustment is the correction of a subluxation, therefore the only place an adjustment can be made is at atlas level.

Huh? Does not make sense
