The atlas, (C1), the first cervical vertebrae connects the skull And the spine. It not only carries the skull but is also responsible for the suspension, equilibrium and management for the spine and skeleton. The atlas is involved in more than 50% of the rotation of the cervical spine. It has 12 muscles attached with numerous nerves involved. When the atlas is misaligned it causes the head to tilt, and the spine compensates the malrotation of the atlas with a rotation down to the sacroiliac joint, trying to maintain the center of gravity. This will cause neck pain and lower back pain, and impacts the entire spine. The malrotation of the atlas could also have a negative impact on muscles, joints, nerves, eyes, ears, jaw, circulatory system, organs of equilibrium and interior organs.

Rene Schumperlii, the founder of the AtlasPROfilax method maintained that most humans have a malrotated atlas or more technically a minor intervertebral dysfunction (MID) of the atlas.
For every inch of Forward Head Posture, it can increase the weight of the head on the spine by an additional 10 pounds.” (Kapandji, Physiology of Joints, Vol. 3). This study also showed that the AtlasPROfilax Method is effective for correcting this MID Minor Intervertebral Dysfunction.
It has been observed that following the AtlasPROfilax treatment postural changes occur immediately and furthermore changes continue to occur for at least a few years. This corrective movement begins to reverse the displacement of the center of gravity of the skull and spine. The spinal column tends to return to its natural axis, which allows discs to recover their natural elasticity coefficient.

I’ve had the AtlasPROfilax procedure done, an alternative holistic approach I had not considered before for my transient lower back pain. It was so fast! I have noticed decreased lower back pain and improvement in my overall posture shortly after my procedure. I have recommended this to patients of mine who suffer from chronic pain, headaches, and seizures.

I have no more headaches after receiving AtlasProfilax treatment. Most of all I have referred many of my patients with degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis and they have all shown great improvements as well!
