Lack of energy and chronic exhaustion

In order to carry out its complex work, the brain requires a great deal of energy and a great deal of oxygen: indeed, it has been calculated that the brain absorbs as much as 20-25% of all the oxygen available to the body.

What type of result can we expect if the supply routes of oxygen are constantly compressed? The "bottleneck" caused by a poorly positioned Atlas compresses the nerves that exit the cranium and pass through and in the immediate vicinity of the Atlas.

Compression of a nerve causes dispersion of the nerve impulses, which are for all intents and purposes electrical impulses. This compression may gradually increase until a short-circuit occurs. Over time, constant pressure on a nerve leads to irritation of that nerve. If an impulse does not have sufficient force, the muscles do not contract as expected and the brain is forced to send an impulse of greater intensity.

Millions of impulses are transmitted in the course of a day. In case of the condition described above, the energy input is truly out of proportion with the normal requirements for a given activity.

When standing or sitting, a further amount of energy is used to keep the muscles that compensate for the misalignment of the head caused by the incorrectly positioned Atlas permanently contracted. Under these circumstances, the body requires more energy even for the simplest activities; there is a substantial reduction in stamina, unmotivated chronic fatigue and drowsiness, until a feeling of exhaustion and >burn-out sets in.

After correction of the Atlas, many people treated with the ATLANTOtec® method report experiencing increased physical and mental energy.

Many people report that their breathing improves, that they need less sleep to feel in good shape, and that they recover faster. The head turns much more freely and with less effort, with a sensation of lightness and an increased angle of rotation in both directions.
