Atlas Orthogonal – An Innovation in Healthcare
Living with chronic pain can reduce your quality of life, especially when it stems from the head and neck area. Chronic headaches and other localized pain can make it hard to function and relax. If you have problems in this area, you may need a consultation with Dr. James Stein at Lifeline Chiropractic in Jeffersonville, PA. He specializes in the Atlas Orthogonal technique.
What Is Atlas Orthogonal Care?
This chiropractic technique focuses on correcting misalignments in your upper cervical spine. That part of your spine is the top part of your neck, with the atlas bone being the topmost vertebra. If there is a misalignment in this area, it can produce localized pain, such as chronic headaches and migraines. When you suffer from such head pain, it can be hard to concentrate at work or school. Some people may have painful migraines, which may cause blurry vision and can reduce their energy levels. They may even cause people to become forgetful.
When you undergo Atlas Orthogonal care, your chiropractor will assess your condition by using laser-aligned X-rays to see if misalignment has occurred. Dr. Stein may also use a specialized instrument that applies precise and gentle force to correct the misalignment. It uses sound waves to make the required adjustments without being invasive.
Why Is It Important?
This treatment is a safe and effective way to relieve stubborn head and neck pain. When there is a problem in your upper cervical spine, you may find it hard to move your neck, and you may have severe headaches. When some people have headaches or migraines, they may be tempted to rely on medication, which comes with side effects. Getting to the root cause with a chiropractic examination can prevent the problem from coming back. It may also be effective for helping patients who have asthma or arthritis.
If you want to know more about relieving head and neck pain, it is time to consider Atlas Orthogonal treatment in Jeffersonville, PA. Dr. Stein at Lifeline Chiropractic is available to treat many issues at their source with chiropractic expertise. Call 610-630-9800 for more information.

The Atlas Vertebra
Many years of clinical research points to the fact that many of the problems associated with spinal misalignment and its consequences can be associated with the atlas vertebra, the top cervical bone in the neck.
Causes of Atlas Misalignment
The atlas supports the weight of the head most efficiently in the orthogonal, or neutral position. Atlas orthogonal is an engineering term referring to the position of the atlas being 90 degrees to the head and neck.
Trauma in one form or another is the primary cause of misalignment. When the atlas vertebra is subjected to stresses and strains, it may be pushed out of proper alignment.
How Atlas Misalignment Affects Your Health and Disrupts Normal Functioning of the Nervous System
Once the atlas is moved out of its orthogonal position the body tries to compensate to maintain its center of gravity. It does this by keeping the head directly over the center of the feet. However to maintain the level position of the head the rest of the spine adapts and is thrown out of alignment.

The 10 Second Atlas Solution – For People Tired of Being Sick and Tired
An atlas orthogonist treats this condition through a system of examination and diagnosis that utilizes a detailed scientific and biomechanical protocol. Precise measurements of the angle of the atlas are the basis of the treatments.
The first step of the diagnosis is to determine the degree in which the atlas is misaligned. Very precise x-rays are taken which show the doctor exactly how the atlas is displaced. The laser aligned high frequency x-rays taken are invaluable in making the most precise atlas correction which is as unique to the patient as their own fingerprint.
Following the diagnosis a specific treatment protocol is developed to align the atlas into the correct neutral/orthogonal position. The greater majority of patients experience instant relief the moment the correction happens. Starting the road to health recovery!
