Re: Atlas Orthogonal/C1-2 adjustments SCC

, with great interest I read your post and thank you for saying

what you did in your last statement! I have said this so often, and

people have looked at me funny as if to say, " What do you know? "

I had an equestrian accident in April of 2004, in which I broke my C1

into four pieces (Jefferson Fracture) and dislocated my skull from my

spine (Atlanto Occipital Dislocation or " internal decapitation. " ).

I was given way less than the minimum standard of care, and so now,

I've got Craniocervical Instability and " severe " Functional Cranial

Settling (per TCI dx).

I just say that to say this: I know for a fact that everything in the

body is somehow related to the C1 and skull base! I don't understand

why, but it is. I know how everything affects me, and how this damage

has affected every part of my body.

Right after I broke my neck, a man called me up, my pastor had given

him my number. I was still in the throes of my brain injury, and was

confused and foggy and anxious. This man told me he had special

chiropractic skills for the C1 area and offered to work on me for

free. I didn't know much, but I knew enough to tell him that because

I was covered by work comp, I would stay in treatment only given or

recommended by my physiatrist. I am so thankful that I didn't let him

touch me!

With what we all have here, in terms of instability and cranial

settling and chiari and basilar invagination and all of this, I feel

strongly we should not let anyone manipulate our heads/necks and

probably not any of our spine. It's a personal call...but like

said, the C1 area is vital! Please be careful with it!!
