Boem posted a question about this new procedure called Atlasprofilax. I've been researching it since his post.
Chiropractic was built on the adjusting of the Atlas and axis vertebra. C1 & C2.
BJ Palmer was the son of the D. D. Plamer who discovered chiropractic back in 1895. BJ was the guy that took chiropractic to the world. He discovered that it was the Atlas that was the key behind structural integrety and getting sick people well. He developed the hole in one adjustment (HIO) which was specifically applied to the Atlas vertebra. For many years that was the only structure chiropracors dealt with. It worked.
My father eliminated his polio back in the 30's via that one adjustment. My Aunt recovered from TB via that adjustment. My mother recovered from Rhumatic fever with that adjustment. And of course I became a chiropractor because of their good results with it.
However, Even though I can replace the Atlas back to where it belongs it won't stay there for very long due to systemic poisoning and many other reasons.
Apparently they have developed a technic to replace the Atlas back to its original position and it stays there permenently. Atlasprofilax. That's huge, I mean really huge.
It was developed over in Switzerland and is being spread throughout the world by them.
I already have an email sent to the closest practitioner to me in the States here. I'm in Michigan, they're in Ohio.
It aught to be pretty exciting. The last good research to come out for Chiropractic was 1985 when Barge and Cox released their work on intersegmental traction and the "hot disc". Which I learned in 1985 and have used ever since.
But this is good news, real good news. Thank you Boem for posting it.
Hi Doc - I am really interested in this as it is considerably less expensive that NCR and claims to make the same adjustment in just one $250.00 session. I watched the videos and the only thing that puzzled me was the fact theat the places I looked did not give any information as to HOW they do it - just one mention of some kind of a massage technique.
Intense Smile was supposed to be getting his adjustment today and I am eagerly awaiting his report about it. I have found that there is a practitioner who is located about a 2 hour drive from me so if all goes well with intense I will go have it done too.
Good news about my sciatic problem: It had seemed to plateau for a while but now it is continuing to get better again - 2 things different are that my chiro is now able to do traction on it (I could not tolerate it previously and I think that is helping and I have also been applying castor oil packs to it. I just got one of those kneeling chairs delivered today and I am able to sit at the computer and work for longer periods of time so I am relieved about that.
Hopefully this new atlas treatment will also be advantageous.
Nope, but I have Mapquest. Let's wait for the report from Intense Smile, and I'm going to do some more research. If everything checks out I just may make an appointment and go.
Intense missed the appointment and won't be having it done for quite a while now so we may want to both continue our research on it - and go get our treatment if we do find adequate research before he gets his. Lets keep each other informed about the research - Is that ok with you?
Yes, that's great. I've opened up my email so that we can keep abreast.
This reasonated with me big time. Some things just do, and it seems those are the things that have allowed me to make bigger strives towards good health.
I myself had this done a year ago, July 9, 2007. I'll probably always remember this date because of the significant benefits I received from it, both immediately and in the ensuing months following. I posted fairly extensively on my AP experience on ProHealth's CFS/FM Message Board. I would take the time and be happy to post some of my results here if anybody had an interest.
