A thorough examination must be performed to determine whether you have an atlas misalignment. The next step involves taking specific 3-D x-rays of the upper cervical (neck) area, to measure misalignments down to the 1/100th of a degree. This gives us an exact blueprint of your spine and the precise vectors needed to correct the misalignment.
Once your misalignment is evaluated, your doctor will use the measurements and angles to place you on the adjusting instrument according to the findings. Your body’s position is measured in relationship to the instrument, and the instrument is aligned to the atlas bone. Once every factor is set, the gentle percussive sound wave is delivered to correct the misalignment. The percussion-wave instrument adjustment is based 100% on the patients misalignment variables.
