Finally an explanation for chronic muscle-based back pain

Muscular contractions and pains, like back pain, can have several causes, such as poor posture, lack of exercise, stress, and even negative emotional states.

Much can be done in this regard: from exercising to strengthen the muscles to various kinds of massage, muscle relaxants and inflammation inhibitors which however aren't long-term solutions because of their many side effects.

As long as the skeletal structure doesn't reach an ideal posture, muscle pain and tension will always return.

While an Atlas adjustment will not counteract daily stress, it can bring long-lasting improvement to physical posture and basic muscle tone, reducing chronic muscle contractions.

In plain English: stress can have negative effects on the body, of course even after an Atlas adjustment. Yet add poor posture and the effect will be multiplied, expanding quickly beyond the pain threshold.

Poor posture and back pain / lower back pain

The cause of poor posture explained in detail HERE can be summarized as follows:

The neck and shoulder muscles have the arduous task of stabilizing and balancing the head. If the head is permanently misaligned in relation to the axis of the body due to an incorrectly positioned Atlas, then the neck muscles must provide much greater support and will undergo excessive strain.

Often this muscular imbalance will lead to painful tension in the neck, shoulders, and back on one side of the body. In general, these tension-related pains only appear on one side of the body. In extreme cases tension is experienced on both sides.

While regular massage can temporarily relieve muscle pain, the origin of the imbalance will remain, causing the pain to resurface after a while.

The ATLANTOtec^® treatment combines two advantages

• It immediately cures muscle tension with the aid of two massage devices developed specifically for this purpose. The result is that the back and neck muscles are relaxed to a point that you have rarely experienced before.
• It realigns the Atlas, permanently improving body posture and preventing posture-related muscle tension and neck and back pain in the future.

THE END RESULT: the preparatory massage will immediately alleviate tension, while the Atlas adjustment will have long-term effects.
