First impressions after the treatment

Immediately after realignment of the Atlas and in the following days, people have experienced different sensations, but above all a feeling of liberation. Many have felt their head to be much lighter, as though it were pivoting on ball bearings, allowing a greater angle of rotation in one or both directions with no pain or dizziness, if they suffered from these problems previously. Others have noticed that they hold themselves more upright and with better postural balance, that they breathe more deeply with a sensation of inner peace and greater self-assurance, and that they can tilt their head further forwards and backwards. Many people have come to the ATLANTOtec® center with a headache and left without it, while others have had their back or shoulder pain disappear.

Reactions after Atlas correction

After the ATLANTOtec® treatment, the body may show certain reactions, indicating that selfhealing is proceeding at full pace. Not everyone has negative reactions after treatment, but it is important to be aware of this possibility. These reactions are temporary, and indicate the appearance of a better posture.

The most painful part of the body is the one undergoing change. Because the need for compensation now disappears, the posture used by the organism to adjust for a misaligned Atlas has to undergo a readjustment once the Atlas is realigned. This realignment process can be very noticeable.

Weights must be redistributed, in order to restore the proper alignment with the vertical axis of the body; muscles that were formerly in spasm must de-contract, and those that were not being fully used and may therefore have atrophied must start working fully once again.

In naturopathy, this situation is known as the "healing crisis", a process indicating that a change is taking place without which any condition would remain unaltered.

Once this phase of adjustment of postural and chemical balance is completed, the increase in available energy is considerable. The reactions may appear immediately after the treatment, or a few weeks or even months later. Experience has shown that the more ill the body has been in the past, the more pronounced the reactions experienced may be.

Possible reactions are as follows:
A few days of acute tiredness and increased need for sleep, muscle stiffness or pain in the neck, back or lumbar region, pains in the knee and hip joints caused by the change of load due to the adjustment of the previously tilted pelvis. (Correction of the pelvis.)

The regeneration phase may be helped and curtailed by regular massages of the neck and back. Other treatments obtain better results after application of the ATLANTOtec® method.

Increased angle of head rotation after treatment

This example clearly shows how the head can be turned further to both sides after ATLANTOtec® treatment.

Increase in height and improved posture

Thanks to the improvement in posture, after application of the ATLANTOtec® method there may be an effective increase in height. In some cases, this increase in height has been as much as a few centimeters, demonstrating how far the spinal column had deviated from the ideal shape.
