27 year old young woman was referred to us by her grandmother. She came in to see us with ( ), , shoulder pain, and ( ), all of which had affected her for years. Movement of any kind was very uncomfortable for her abdomen and pelvis, and the restless legs kept her up most nights and destroyed her sleep. She’d been to multiple doctors and received some benefit, but her quality of life continued to suffer. Surgery was going to be the next decision she’d have to make.

Xray analysis showed significant atlas misalignment in her neck. A light, calculated atlas correction was administered. Her neck and spine instantly relaxed. That night she had a full night's sleep and the restless leg started to recede.

Within four treatments, her restless leg syndrome has vanished, the ovarian cysts melted away one by one, and the right shoulder is much better.

“I must’ve passed over 20 cysts. I feel like I’ve gotten my life back. This is the best I've felt in years.”

How’s your atlas today?

An active 40 year old mother initially came into our office for left leg and hip pain. After her first atlas correction, her energy returned, her pains ceased, and life picked right back up. She held that first correction for 3 months.
Fast Forward 2 years: New symptoms arose: dizziness, vertigo and headaches. She’d been to her OBGYN and a prior history of blood clotting disorder made them order a supine MRI for safety purposes. Their official diagnosis was low lying cerebellar tonsils, which did not meet criteria for type 1 Chiari malformation, with idiopathic increase in intracranial pressure. Summed up: fluid pressure in the skull on the brain and they didn’t know why.

What her MRI showed us was a chiari 0: brainstem crowding that was stopping her Cerebral spinal fluid from flowing out of her skull and causing back-pressure on the brain.
New x-ray analysis revealed her misalignment had changed. We’ve reduced atlas misalignments of many Chiari patients and 90% of the time their cranium-focused symptoms reduce to normal levels.

The same thing happened to her. We reduced her new misalignment again and the dizziness, headaches, and brain fog all abated and now only present when her atlas misaligns.

In August 2021, we received a call about a woman experiencing extreme facial pain that started after a dental visit. She described it as a burning lighting bolt that would run across the entire left side of her face, scalp and jaw. The pain was so severe that she couldn’t barely stand the wind on her face, the water in the shower, or eating food. All she wanted was to be able to sleep again, but the pain would wake her up during the night. Being a mother of two was hard enough, but the pain was making life almost unbearable for her.

She was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN). Practitioners have also labeled this the su***de disease as TN is so extremely painful, strikes so frequently throughout the day, and conventional medical means can’t always fix it, that those suffering from this can seldom find relief and take matters into their own hands.

X-ray analysis showed a significant atlas rotational misalignment. A light, calculated atlas correction was administered.

The pain immediately began to dissipate. Over the course of a month, the TN was completely eliminated. She comes in every few months for checkups, and rarely has flareups. She feels good enough to eat, shower, and sleep as well as skiing and horseback riding. She's back to being supermom to her children and has her life back.

A New Family Part 3. This beautiful baby girl was born to the parents of last week’s case. She had a difficult birth and had to be c-section delivered. She had difficulty breastfeeding and latching so the parents switched her over to bottle and formula. What became concerning was the projectile vomiting over 80% of what she took in for every meal and this prevailed every day since she left the hospital.

The doctors labeled it as infantile acid reflux, so they put her on two reflux medications as acid blockers. Still she continued to vomit severely. She wasn’t keeping food down and thus not forming stools, so the doctors put her on miralax to force a stool through, when there’s little to no stool to begin with.

Doctors administer MRI, CT scans, and barium swallow tests with no growths or mechanical blockages to explain the vomiting.

At this point the child is in distress, failing to thrive, up all night with colic, the mother and father are not sleeping, frustrated and discouraged.

Our spinal adjustments weren’t helping. We even referred them to a chiropractic pediatric specialist who then referred them further to other gastroenterologists. The baby’s health continued to decline.

Three months passed. We then attempted an x-ray analysis on the child. Lo and behold, an upper cervical misalignment was present, but worse than we anticipated.

A light, calculated atlas correction was administered.
Almost overnight, the vomiting resolved, and her colic disappeared and the parents had their first full night sleep together in months. She was weaned off of all her medications and filled the diapers all by herself. She’s now 21 months old, happy, healthy and thriving and she can’t wait for the doctors to “check her neck and toes”

A New Family Part 2.
The 24 year old wife of last week’s case came in for a consultation.
She had chronic headaches, neck, low back and hip pain, endometriosis and polycystic o***y syndrome and spent hours on a computer for work. This lovely couple also stated they’d been wanting a family for over 2 years but were becoming discouraged that infertility might be playing a role.
“I can’t make any guarantees, but what we see in our office is that couples stand the best chance of conceiving if both the mother and father’s atlas’ are in alignment. I’ve seen it take as long as 6 months for hormones to rebalance, but I’ve not had a fertility case fail yet.”
X-rays analysis in all three planes showed a significant atlas misalignment. A light, calculated atlas correction was administered.
Her neck pain, headaches and low back began to dissipate, and she got exponentially better in the coming days. She started sleeping more soundly and had more energy to invest in herself by walking on a treadmill, incorporating light weight training and she lost 20 pounds.
Through a lot of hard work, staying in alignment and some lifestyle changes, 9 months later, she and her husband came in and showed us a picture of a positive pregnancy test!
Follow us next week for part three and the cutest set of pediatric x-rays you’ve ever seen.

A New Family Part 1
27 year old gentleman came into our office back in January 2019. He was having upper back pain, mid back pain, low back pain, hip pain and numbness running down both legs for over two years. Being a hardworking, small-business owner placed him in heavy machinery for hours on end, first man in and last man out on every job. He had to utilize over-the-counter pain killers just to get through the day and his mental energy would fatigue by lunch, but he would always push through and completed the task at hand.
He’d been to other practitioners for these issues, but the effects weren’t as long lasting as he was hoping for. His X-rays showed a significant atlas misalignment that had worked its way down his spine and contorted his neck, back and hips and induced a functional short leg of a half inch.
A light, calculated atlas correction was administered. The spasm immediately melted out of his neck, back and hips, his leg length balanced out and his pain began to dissipate almost down to nothing over the course of the next few days.
We continued to work with him in the coming weeks and months and did everything in our power to keep him functioning at maximum capacity through the madness of 2020 and he was able to keep his business afloat through all that transpired.
Will post his wife’s case next week on our weekly case study series!

63 year-old part-time teacher was lovingly referred to us by her husband. She suffered from low back pain and knee pain for 2-3 months with no hope in sight and was scheduled for cortisone injections into the knee. If that failed, knee surgery was next in line. Walking around with ¼” leg deficit was compounding the issue.

A light, calculated atlas correction was administered

Three weeks later she’s still holding her atlas correction, which has balanced the leg length to a deficit of 0”. The low back pain has completely reduced, and she’s canceled her cortisone injections. She’s sleeping better, has more energy, and there’s hope for continued improvement.

21 year old male was referred to us by his friend for mid back and low back pain. Very physically active and fit young man who took care of himself all through high school and doing all the right things for his health and future.
He’d been to other clinicians, but the benefits weren’t as long lasting as he’d hoped, and the pain would return within several hours.
X-rays showed a significant upper cervical misalignment. A light, calculated atlas correction was administered.
He’s held his atlas correction since January, mid and low back pain are gone without having to address those regions, and he’s back fully loving life again!

In August 2021 a mother lovingly brought her 12-year-old daughter to have her spine evaluated. She had been diagnosed with bilateral Sinding-Larsen-Johansson Syndrome (similar to Osgood-Schlatter disease), right shoulder pain and right hip pain.
She was, by far, and still remains, one of the most well-mannered and intelligent young ladies we have ever had the privilege to serve, but it broke our hearts that lifting her head caused her neck pain and she struggled to look at us as a result.
Orthospinology x-ray analysis showed significant atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial misalignment. A precisely calculated, gentle atlas correction was administered.
The pre and post x-rays showed a significant atlas correction, but what blew us away was the way her neck unlocked, the pain ceased and the curve started to return within seconds.
Now her knee pain is gone, she’s kicking butt in school and following the same entrepreneurial spirit as her mother.

Two days before we were set to close for Christmas, this little 7 year old presented into our office. Two days prior, he had landed flat on his back on a trampoline that whiplashed his head forward. His parents reported that he had little to no sleep, his little neck was in knots, and torticollis had set in and completely limited his neck’s range of motion.

The Lord was with us that day.

A light, calculated, atlas correction was administered. And this is the result.
When he left, he could stand up straight, move his neck and he smiled once again.
