The atlas is the first ring of the neck and is located under the skull, that is, it supports the skull

Its position is very important, because it covers the vital area of ​​the spinal cord.

The atlas not only supports the skull, but is responsible for the balance and direction of the spine and skeleton

Displacement of the atlas can lead to various complications, brain-periphery communication is not good enough and as a result and because of this an energy imbalance occurs before, as well as physiological changes that can be permanent.

The displacement of the atlas can occur during birth, in the case of falls, injuries and traumas, due to traffic accidents, as well as due to many years of incorrect holding of the body and head, Telegrafi reports.

The diagnosis is determined by anamnesis, X-ray examination, etc.

To treat problems with the atlas, physical therapy is usually applied, and more recently, the atlas relaxation method for repositioning the first cervical vertebra.

Who should do the atlas correction?

This can be done exclusively by physiotherapists and professional chiropractors.

The latter, in our country, are few.

The atlas is returned to its natural place with a method of adjustment called atlasprofilax, a method invented by Rene Claudius Schumperliu in 1993. Since 1996, it has been used in more than 30 countries around the world.

Atlas prophylaxis is a safe method of atlas adjustment, that is, returning the atlas to its natural position.

Some of the more common effects of incorrect Atlas position include neck curvatures, scoliosis, and changes in shoulder and pelvic alignment.

These line changes affect the integrative structure of the skeletal system and have negative impacts on the nervous system.

When the atlas moves out of its orthogonal position, the displacement can cause nerve compression and inflammation directly in the brain and indirectly throughout the nervous system.

What does the atlas configuration look like?

Two methods are known, the English and Italian schools.

To us, it is called training or improvement of manual manipulation techniques, which chiropractors do.

Adjusting the position of the Atlas can put the head, neck, spine and pelvis back into proper alignment.

Moreover, the atlas being immediately adjacent to the brain and placing it in the right position, creates the space for communication between the brain and the body and vice versa.

The only thing that might hurt a little is the muscle and, of course, you might hear a crack, like when you snap your fingers.

There is a release of pressure in the joints themselves, in this case the head and neck joint, the first and second cervical vertebrae and the head joint with them.

To achieve all this, the fingers must be placed properly, under the vertebrae, in order to treat them exclusively.

This should not be done with someone who has osteoporosis, it should not be done at all with someone who has osteophytes, because a fragment can break and then create chaos eg.

dig into a nerve and then it's not good.
