Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone-

I was just wondering if anyone in the group has used Atlas Orthogonal

Chiropractic (or any of the other Upper Cervical Chiropractic

techniques out there) to help their children and what their results

have been...

The basic premise of Atlas Orthogonal is that aligning the atlas

vertebrae allows the spinal cord to pass through unobstructed and also

allows the spine to then adjust itself into balance. With the spine's

balance comes the central nervous system working optimally which in

turn allows the immune system to work optimally. To me, this makes sense.

Montel recently did a testimonial on his show about Atlas

Orthogonal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiOtb6yM_ow) raving about

immediate relief from 5 years of nerve pain in his feet.

In reading other testimonials at Upper Cervical websites, I came

across testimonials of children with asthma being cured, a child

diagnosed with PDD and ADHD (and scheduled to be evaluated for autism)

at age 3 overcoming his delays and attending and excelling in a

mainstream kindergarten class at 5 with no other interventions, a 24

year old autistic man has improved in both communication skills and

gait in just two months, a man suffering from seizures claims the only

relief he's received in 5 years and after 9 neurologists comes from

this type of chiropractic, and the list goes on and on...

Here's the link to the the little boy's story. It's a PDF poster:

My 18 year old daughter is not ASD or autistic, but has many of the

same gut and allergy issues, occasional seizures, and infrequent

migraines that used to be much more frequent and severe. She was

diagnosed with scoliosis at age 8.

My daughter has gone for two half-adjustments as the doctor was

reluctant to do too much too fast with her as she is highly sensitive

to so many things. With the first adjustment, she felt her spine

realign in a sort of 'domino effect' as she laid on the table

afterwards. An x-ray after the first adjustment shows much improvement

in her neck; the little bit of spine showing in the x-ray no longer

appears curved (though the doctor seems too modest to admit it!) and a

visual inspection of her back now reveals no curve.

Ultimately, our hope is that along with the NAET and naturopathic

treatments she receives, the Atlas Orthogonal will help her nervous

and immune systems heal so that she will finally be healthy and

seizure-free.

No doubt Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic won't be the answer to

everyone's questions and problems, but we're still holding out hope...

If anyone has tried it or plans to, please let us know how it has

worked out for you.

Take care,
