What is Atlas Orthogonal?

the major chiropractic premise:

  • the nervous system has a regulating effect over all bodily functions
  • interference to nerve function (including brain and peripheral nervous system incorporating peripheral sense organs such as the eyes, ears and concerning smell) can result in poor health
  • the skeletal system, primarily the spine can interfere with the nervous system via joint subluxation, misalignment or misalignment

the AO premise:

  • the first and second vertebrae in the neck should line up with the skull (occiput) at right angles or orthogonally.
  • if they are not orthogonal, subsequent imbalance of body structure will eventuate due to compensatory changes.
  • compensatory changes are affected by nervous system interference, irritation or dysfunction.
  • this may lead to poor organ function, muscle spasm causing shoulder or pelvic girdle distortion, over time, if not corrected
