THE ATLAS VERTEBRA: THE KEY TO HEALTH

THE ATLAS IS THE HIDDEN CAUSE OF NUMEROUS AILMENTS

Not everyone knows that the first cervical vertebra known as the Atlas or C1 plays the most subtle and yet also the most crucial role of the entire spine. A malfunction in this area can have a “cascade” effect on the entire skeletal and muscular system, creating imbalances and misalignments that can extend all the way down into the lower limbs.

It has been found that ...

	many people, since birth, have a misalignment of the first cervical vertebra relative to the occiput and the second cervical vertebra known as the “axis”.
	a whiplash incident or a trivial accidental fall can further worsen the misalignment of the Atlas.
	those affected by this misalignment, as well as the doctors treating them, are almost never aware of it.
	with correct use of modern spiral computed tomography apparatus, it is possible to reveal and precisely measure this misalignment.
	this situation causes or exacerbates physical ailments and pathologies, and is not without psychological and emotional repercussions.
	the resulting ailments are often overlooked or attributed to other causes because formal medicine is unaware of the misalignment of the Atlas and its consequences.
	the problem can be resolved simply and lastingly in a single session.

AILMENTS MOST COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ATLAS

			Migraine
			Cephalalgia - headache
			Dizziness - unsteadiness
			Cervical pain - cervicalgia

For some of these ailments, there is currently no real solution apart from suppressing the symptoms with pharmacological treatments or alleviating them as best as possible in a purely temporary manner.

Misalignment of the Atlas can significantly contribute to postural alterations such as hyperlordosis, kyphosis, functional scoliosis and loss of physiological lordosis, and to a malfunctioning of the various bodily systems.

The ATLANTOtec^® method is particularly effective and indicated for treatment of the long-term consequences of whiplash.
