Atlas
Orthogonality is a system of
adjusting subluxations of the
cervical spine by means of its
uppermost vertebra (C1 AKA the
"atlas"). The Atlas Orthogonal
Program was developed with
specificity in mind. An Atlas
Orthogonal Doctor of Chiropractic
uses special
X-ray views
to
determine the extent and direction
of spinal misalignment. Information
from the X-rays determines how the
Doctor will adjust the spinal
segment.
The
actual adjustment is performed by an
Atlas Orthogonal Percussion
Adjusting Instrument. The
instrument works by percussion - a
sound wave - and the bone is gently
restored to its' normal position.
In
the game of pool (billiards) - if
you have two balls sitting side by
side and a third ball strikes one of
the two, the ball being struck
remains still while the one not
struck rolls away - this is
percussion; the Atlas Orthogonal
Percussion Adjusting Instrument
works on this same principle. |
