Yeah I was skeptical about chiropractor work. They are bs to a degree. But a gonstead or an upper cervical chiro can cure you by making you atlas and axis in line. Facts!
I am a regular viewer of your RU-vid Channel. Your content is really amazing, but your channel has an SEO problem so, you are not getting more views, likes, comments.
About 15 months ago I was quickly becoming more and more disabled from being misdiagnosed by medical doctors, even highly reputable ones... and I eventually found an upper cervical chiropractor who uses a very similar technique as this to adjust atlas and it saved my life. In 3 months of getting adjusted I was significantly better but I can't hold the adjustment so am now getting prolotherapy to repair the lax ligaments and stabilize the cervical spine am finally am hopeful I will make a full recovery! 🙏🙏
@@GoodTV285 oh really lol? Because I'm getting better! You can't strengthen your neck muscles if atlas is slipping out of place and disabling you bc the ligaments are damaged. There are no muscular attachments to atlas - the muscles attach to C2 and down so therefore they might affect the upper cervical to some extent but not that much. After my 4th prolotherapy I no longer had to wear my brace and I gained the use of my arms back... my muscles started to work again and I had done no exercise (bc I was incapable of doing so)... just the prolotherapy. My muscles still act up sometimes but it is not disabling me anymore and I can now do some mild exercises with my arms. Also I am not finished with my treatments yet either I've had 6 out of 9 and may need my thoracic and shoulders treated too
@@JacksonStar4757 What? No muscle attachments? There are at least 4 muscles attached to the atlas Levitatior scapula Obliques capitus Look it up How do you think your atlas moves? It takes muscles Prolo isn’t proven that’s why insurance won’t cover it Levitator scapula connects to the transverse process of c1
How tf is this bullcrap legal? It's literally fraudulent, a sham, snake oil. They got a magic machine that does absolutely nothing and charge people to barely get touched by it. Thank god i live in a country where this is prosecuted
@@wesporter2176 You literally cannot change the position of your bones by cracking or bending. Surgery or long term bracing can work. If you had a concussion wtf would this even do!? you got scammed, concussions heal over time
@@ajjy1110 Some people don't hold the corrections as well as others depends on the severity of the misalignment. But over time most will hold longer and longer.
Dr Kerr is great I just came back home from treatment at his clinic in Manhattan for my atlas misalignment Was in so much pain for 10 years finally I found Dr Kerr 😢
I'm so lucky to have been raised under Grostic care. Dr. Sweat, who developed AO, was my dad's best friend, and the two of them developed AO together out on the golf course! I was aguinea pig and got my first AO adjustment at age 17 in 1977. I always make sure my atlas in in alignment and it keeps me clear of all diseases and viruses! It's amazing when I'm out of adjustment and am having sinus headaches -- the get an adjustment and my sinuses drain right out, and the headache goes away! Also. if I feel like I'm getting a cold or flu, make sure I'm in alignment, and if I do get sick, it's short lived.
Here's my saviors - and Dr. Sweat. You might have known Dr. David Zemba, Sr.(RIP) too. He worked on perfecting the stylus of the instrument. He was an engineer before he was a DC. He was also one of the first AO's and I know at one point got an award as one of the best 100 DC's in the country. facebook.com/LouisvilleSpinalCare/photos/dr-david-zemba-and-dr-brett-zemba-hanging-with-dr-roy-sweat-in-atlanta-learning-/10153799300637413/
Lee Crowe, I have been in pain since a car accident almost 7 years ago. The pain is in my upper right neck and right side of head at the base. Ive only seen a chiropractor who says we are moving the c1, but Im still in pain. Is moving the c1 the same thing as AO? I cant seem to find a dr. By me. Im in st louis mo.
@@laurenbryan4121 Here are some AO doctors in Illinois and Missouri; don't know if they're near you. atlasorthogonality.com/Doctors/illinois/ atlasorthogonality.com/Doctors/missouri/ I have found that if the AO doctor isn't attending regular seminars, then the adjustment doesn't hold as well.
I had chiro adjustment .. it left me with neck spasms and dizziness. I found lady who does nucca but it didn’t do much .. tho I only went twice and got nervous it would make me worse. Getting frustrated anyone you recommend in NY?
@Ilir Cami i watched a blair adjustment on youtube and there was a loud sound. do you know where that comes from? they say there is no cracking so i dont get it
@Ilir Cami but they say AO and NUCCA are the best ones cuz they are the most gentle. Is Blair just as gentle as those? Cuz you dont hear about Blair as much as the others
@@alexlee8639 Lee Crowe is right. This whole process is kind of like the game "Jenga" - but in reverse. Go to their site to learn more. atlasorthogonality.com/
If you are going to try this make sure the person is a very good chiropractor with a lot of experience using this method. See the reviews but be wary of any site that just has positive reviews and no negative reviews because reviews can be removed, if the business doesn't want them there.
I can see the emotions you are going through doctor. This is real stuff. Im suffering also. I hope I can find my answers soon. Its so hard everyday to be honest. But ure giving me hope
Hi Doctor, Is the atlas orthogonal treatment safe ? Ive been suffering a long time since a whiplash injury. And recently I found a doctor in Hong Kony who is a upper cervical doctor who uses this procedure. So i want to ask you, if this is safe ? Ive been suffering from neck pain, esp under the skull in the back, pressure feeling, sinus issues, and now dizziness. So any feedback would be great ? Thank you for your videos. I appreciate any help.
Where are you? In addition to Atlas Orthogonal, try looking at nucca.org or orthospinology. They are sister methods. Maybe there is someone around who does something similar? Other upper cervical methods that are different would be "Blair Technique" or Qsm3. Also .... Advanced Orthogonal and "Epic' . If you find no one ... call me at my office. Sometimes, doctors forget to renew with the technique centers.
I used to get this done and it was the one thing that stopped the migraines. When. I had to move away, I couldn't find any other practice who does it and now I'm back to over half the month being migraine days having to hide in dark rooms with no sound and taking meds.
i know this is very dangerous to do when 1: you re not trained by the original institute in switserland. 2. you can never treat a person lying down. he /she must sit. in any case.
Actually, AO was developed in Georgia, and NUCCA was developed in Iowa. Make sure you're seeing either a certified AO or NUCCA chiropractor. They do not "pop" or "crack"; they are very gentle, and not dangerous.
@@MyFriendlyCrowgetting my atlas adjusted saved my life I was getting more and more disabled at the hands of even very reputable medical doctors to the point that I was scared I was gonna be housebound and bedridden for the rest of my life thank God I found my upper cervical chiropractor and Dr Ross Hauser. After 3 months of getting adjusted I was able to drive, fix my own hair, put on makeup and go to work again but those things were still somewhat of a struggle and I want to be able to dance and exercise and lift heavy things again so I started getting prolotherapy and am now hopeful to make a full recovery!
im looking at my xray and thinking i see this issue. wonder if the orthopedic office that took the xray would notice? i went there for pain management from a concussion. i have horrible pain back of my skull and pressure both sides of my head it even affects my face. 2 years already. they wanna give me a shot of cortisone in facet joints 2,3,4 and while i think i will get relief from the shots im lookin for a cure. crazy if this is all i needed.
If you still have had no relief you might try contacting Dr. Joel Wallach (ND) at criticalhealthnews.com . I've been a fan of his for over 20 years and have listened to countless hours of his advice. He's the world's most famous ND and he's been all over the world giving speeches and seminars. His products are in over 90 countries and his advice is all over youtube. He has a $10,000 book in the Smithsonian! You can call them and one of the well-trained associates will give you free advice over the phone. They sell many mineral and herbal based products. This is the guy that taught the world ablout colloidal minerals in the 90's. I'm not a doc, but for listening for so long I could "guess" that the answer is that you might have osteoparosis of the skull. Yes, the skull can get very thick - over an inch! :-O I've confirmed that with a retired neurosurgeon. The skull can press on the cranial nerves causing 19 (or more) diseases - even what heart doctors think is heart disease! No, a $100,000 surgery won't fix your heart (if it is a brain problem) but medical doctors don't know that yet... That's the fallacy of Western non-integrative medicine. They treat the symptoms and not the person. That's why I listen to this guy! He's cured over 900 diseases and "sometimes" medical science catches up (like 50 years later). It's only been 2 years since the MD's admitted there is no link between high serum cholesterol and arterial blockage! Wallach knew that 50 years ago!! A compression of the 7th cranial nerve is what causes Bell's Palsy (face muscles drooped or locked). Shooting up C2-4 isn't gonna help your face. That nerve starts and stops in your head... You don't need surgery - or medical doctors. The Doc can most likely cure you with a few supplements. His motto is: "you've given the doctors a lifetime. Give me 90 days!"
AO docs ARE Chiropractors. You have to have a DC degree before you finish up at the AO Clinic in Georgia. My Chiro even hires massage specialists and has other modalities too. Back surgeons are the ones that need to lose their jobs... Once they have altered the neural pathways, Chiropractic can no longer work. So, it's a one shot thing. If surgery doesn't fix you than you are stuck that way forever. Wouldn't it be smarter to try the NON-invasive tech first?
Hi, I'm a female in early 30, have always been healthy, into sports. The only issue I had was the disc protrusion at C5-C6. About 7 weeks ago, I visited a chiropractor in my area to receive an upper cervical spine treatment (C5-C6) and I believe he did something like this on me. I was lying on the belly and coudn't see what he was doing. He clicked somewhere near the base of the skull and I have felt pain and vertigo immediately. I have been down with a severe vertigo (something is off with my balance perception to the left) since then, every single day. I still have pain at the base of the skull and I have been seeing all kinds of neurologists, went to er twice, tried physical therapy last week- nobody knows what's wrong with me and I am already giving up on life. I'm not sure what to do next, could you please give me an advice? MRI is not showing anything abnormal, other than C5 stenosis (the usual). I remember this chiropractor was saying smth about my head tilting to the left, instead of to the right as it should be (in either case, I was perfectly healthy before his manipulations). Could it be that he tried this trick on me?
No, this is not done using the neck. He used a hand tool in you. You can't feel the atlas orthogonal machine isn't something you feel and there's no pop. It's only done after extensive imaging and calculations have been done.
m sh , Sorry to hear how are you doing now? I am in a bad situation for a regular chiropractic neck adjustment myself . I have seen numerous doctors , ER CT/MRI and no one knows what’s wrong either 😭
everyone saying this is not real hasn't felt what this feels like. I was in a major car accident and got whiplash causing my atlas to go out of place. once I had this procedure I felt 10x better. once it happens to you, you will understand.
Andrew Haug Will do. I've literally had a pressure headache for 21 years and the right side of my face droops. I've been to over 100 doctors, including the Mayo Clinic. Although i do have issues lower in my neck too, I know the main issue is at the base of my skull. I don't think my skull sits on C1 right.
The Atlas Orthogonal program as taught is a great jumping off point. When the result is not good, it usually means that major changes need to be made to the initial adjustment. Either the side, the direction of thrust or the patient placement could need modifying.
Atheria PsychicOne it is very likely a chiro can diagnose an X ray wrong. Try a different doc, they may tell you your adjustment needs to be done in a completely different spot.
Just another "alternative" way to rip you off! But be careful because unlike homeopathy this is a very DANGEROUS one and can damage you for good! Neck is very sensitive place as the spinal cord is going through there and the slightest damage leads to paraplegia...so think twice before you let your neck in hands of chiropractics and other shamans...
+milenatos Hi Milenatos, here is a link to the largest safety and efficacy study regard this kind of work. It shows that it is very safe and that we drop neck and lower back disability with in 17 days and averaged only 2.3 adjustments to do it. Have ever been under upper cervical chiropractic care? www.orthospinology.org/research/eriksen-rochester-study
Dear Andrew, the link you provided from the Society of Chiropractors to validate your practice is the same as if a homeopath provided the link from Society of Homeopaths to validate homeopathy as official medical routine. I want to warn people: if you think you have a problem with your neck, go to a medical specialist- orthopedic, neurologist, if there is a need for surgery or some procedure they will know and they will perform it. Don't let such a serious thing in hands of pseudo doctors and shamans! It's very dangerous! There's been lot of cases when they made more damage than good leaving people with REAL subluxation and dislocation of vertebrae!
+milenatos No, it was a link to an article about a research paper that was published in a peer reviewed medical journal. It involved over 100 doctors and 1000 patients. I worked for many years within a medical doctor's office. He did pain management. Over time, a lot of the patients improved and got off of dangerous drugs. BTW, prescribed pain bills kill at least 15k people a year and over the counter pain pills kill more than another 15k a year. Chiropractors .... not really. 100k deaths a year to mistakes in surgery. 100k deaths a year to mistakes in medication ..... are you sure that you want to send people to medical doctors for saftey? BTW the numbers I quoted are from New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA. Maybe the two best medical journal.
Virtually every profession has its risks, and yes, there are good and bad doctors, devoted and reckless, wrong diagnostics, wrong therapy, surgeries gone wrong...and yes, occasionally there are the fatal outcomes- guess why? Because real doctors deal with REAL problems, REAL diseases and REAL procedures that carry risks! Yet, to minimize the chances I'd rather not let someone with the weekend course messing anywhere near my neck! The procedure about the neck is serious thing and should be done only if 3d scan of spine actually shows the subluxsation, it is done in the real hospital, in the real surgery room, with total anesthesia, under the preview of x-ray (to keep the spinal cord safe) and it is covered by social security. If something is not covered by the social security- it is a RIP OFF and a not necessary procedure (as for example boob enlargement). I know that in the States the things work different with medical bills, I am telling about Europe. Chiropractic are not covered by social security, it is just another new-age bullshit for spoiled upper class hippies...
+milenatos This will be my last reply. This particular method that this post is about, "Atlas Orthogonality" has been around since 1978. It comes from another technique that started in the 50's called Grostic. In that time, there has NEVER been a documented fatality from anyone using these particular procedures ..... EVER! You called it DANGEROUS. That is simply not true. Then you give the benefit of there being good mds and bad mds ... however, all Atlas Orthogonal chiropractors are bad. To be an Atlas Chiropractor, I have completed 8 years of college and over 60 seminars on atlas adjusting not just a "week end cruise". Most Atlas Orthogonal chiropractors are very dedicated to patient care. I gave you references to published research and that is not good enough for you. I guess that you just want to say what you want to say regardless of its validity. Nothing, I show or say will be good enough for you. I suspect that you never have been to an Atlas chiropractor but seem very confident in bashing it. If you want to be fair about it, you could at least admit that you know very very little about Atlas Orthogonal or Atlas chiropractic. Also, that you don't know how safe or dangerous this method it. You don't know what education we have. Also, the study that I linked you to shows that we do treat people with serious conditions and help them in a very short period of time with very few adjustments.
lol none of these bogus chiropractic instruments can cure a muntathar altaii case. I would like to see these bogus chiropractors go up again Chiropractic Excellence
@@MyFriendlyCrow Exactly - those spouting BS are fast to run away... Just ask Montel Williams about the only docs that could cure him - and he certainly has the means for ANY doc.
I have a much more severe torqued neck and vertebrae accident from 8 years ago with months in and out of hospital and thousand of dollars in medical bills. I have to press on my anterior of the neck and crack it tiny bit by bit with friends (when I can get one) to press on my chest to stop the protruding of my neck forward for otherwise I would be dead! I live in barbaric suffering diffused throughout my body and used the machine mentioned above but it did not fix everything. I wish everything was that easy and fast. Scar tissue also happens and Graston is what I had to do for about a dozen times.
Thanks Kris, this is correct. The Atlas Orthogonal instrument is like a Newton's Craddle where one ball hits five balls on stings and only the last ball flies and the end.
@@laurenbryan4121 I don't see this in St. Louis - but "kind of" close. maybe you should look at IL. too. My first Chiro was in St. Louis but that was years before this stuff. AO works much better than the 4 traditional chiros that I have had. atlasorthogonality.com/Doctors/missouri/
