Atlas correction
Is a treatment method aimed at correcting the position of the atlas, the upper cervical vertebra (C1). It is often used to reduce complaints such as headaches, neck and back pain, balance problems and muscle tension.
Due to pressure on nerves and reduced blood flow.
Impaired functioning of the balance organ.
Possibly due to increased tension in neck and jaw.
Reduced blood flow to the brain.
Neck and back pain
Since the atlas is an important link in the spine, misalignment can lead to chain reactions in the body.
Muscle tension as a compensatory response.
Misalignment can cause the spine to become unbalanced.
Postural problems can extend into the pelvis.
Reduced blood flow due to nerve and vascular compression.
Muscle tension and movement restrictions
Because incorrect atlas position affects muscles and nerves, movement problems can occur.
Difficulty turning or bending.
Pressure on nerves in the neck.
Especially in back, neck and shoulders.
Autonomic nervous system complaints
The atlas can affect the autonomic nervous system, which regulates blood pressure, digestion and breathing, among other things.
Due to impaired nerve function and reduced oxygen supply.
Due to increased tension in the body.
Impaired regulation of the vascular system.
Influencing the vagus nerve, which controls the intestines.
Psychological and Emotional Complaints
Due to chronic tension and nerve irritation, an atlas problem can also have an emotional impact.
Possibly due to increased stress response of the nervous system.
Stress due to physical discomfort.
Chronic pain and tension can affect mood.
When does atlas correction make sense?
An atlas correction can help with the complaints indicated on this page, especially if they are related to tension in the neck, crooked posture or nerve compression. However, it is important to get a correct diagnosis and see if other therapies (such as physiotherapy, chiropractic or osteopathy) are needed.
