As a concussion, whiplash person and body worker, I discovered that yes my Atlas was subluxated but also that it is not just the atlas it is musculature on the posterior side of the body on the short leg side of the body that has to be treated up to the atlas to be released. Also the levator scapulae muscle attaches to see one two three and four laterally, so there's definitely shoulder connection subluxation of the upper cervicals. Also on the opposite side lateral neck with releasing the scaling and the sternocleidide mastoid muscle, produced a natural correction of the cervical spine to align the atlas so it functions on the condyles of the skull. There is more to just bumping the atlas for a gentle adjustment, there is more function than that ,that is involved. I'm speaking from experience and also working on other clients I am finding this out as well, I corrected my own whiplash concussion by treating what's all connected to see one, and how the rotation is according to the short side of the body
Great video! I believe my atlas was misaligned by a chiropractor 7 months ago. I see a specialist on tgursday and i am hoping they can get it sorted out!
Hi Dave, your video is interesting and timely for me because I've been seeing an Upper Cervical Chiropractor for the last couple of months. I didn't respond to Neurofeedback and was trying to figure out why and came across Upper Cervical Chiropractic and decided to give it a try. My Chiropractor found significant misalignment of my C1 vertebra and he's doing the adjustments. There are a lot of positive signs since the adjustments started. Thank you for your video. I wish I'd discovered Upper Cervical Chiropractic a long time ago.
this is true. ive had this all my life. i remember notciing post masage and head and stuff more straigjter i would no longer get hip or low back pain, despite only shoulders and necks being touched.
Hi Robyn, Thanks for your comments. Yes, I agree with you. Although the atlas realignment is a critical part of recovery and body parts will align to some degree with the alignment of the atlas, the person now postures differently as a coping behavior for the spasms and the muscles need reworking after many months of maintaining a crooked posture. The young man in my lecture went through physio to get his cervical muscles back in good order, which helps keep his atlas bone in alignment. However, the main point of this case was that he was having brain stem seizures, which the neurologists were completely unable to diagnose and treat. His "seizures" were completely resolved with one adjustment of his atlas bone. Yes, he did continues to receive physio and NUCCA until his neck and head were stable.
This is called this is called bow hunters syndrome, but there is a lot more muscular structures that attach to the atlas or C1 C2 c3 and c4 from the shoulder blade and deep muscles of the upper back, those have to be addressed on the short leg side of the body, otherwise C1 will not stay in place especially if you're using your arms and turning of the head and have had problems with Atlas C1 subluxation . This is called bowhunter syndrome
I subluxed my axis. Torticolis episodes. Went to a gonstead, fixed something.. But next went to a UCCA. Got adjustment clearing up nuralgia. Then found a few stretches for the levator scapulae. It pulls on atlas, not saying its as accurate as NUCCA but it has helped. Thanks for your studies. Ive had a fall n sub concussion to aggravate text neck or forward head posture. Had many symptoms of c2-c8. Most now resolved, just waiting til the ligments tighten so my adjustments can stay in place.
I have this, pressure in head dizziness , fluid surging in upper neck into head, high blood pressure, acid reflux anxiety, feeling like there's a blockage below the skull, it's horrendous I've had mri etc they said nothing is wrong, I tried a chiropractor and they wouldn't adjust me at all due to BP too high, pain in the back of eyes when walking, and Terrible sensitivity to light. I wish a chiropractor would just help me sort it.. it completely ruins you
@@Krishanapanchaal1 did you have your atlas adjusted? It only happens to me if I intentionally pop my neck or jaw. I think it's related to the tempromandibular joint affecting the inner ear.
What if you do this and you start getting facial pain after. I’ve I’m week three and I have left face pain. Like the Trigeminal nerve feels like it’s being pressed on.
