Atlas & Subluxations

Atlas subluxations affect organ function. This has been demonstrated in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder, adrenal medulla, lymphatic tissues, heart, vessels of the brain, and peripheral nerves (Journal of Manipulative Physical Therapeutics Nov-Dec; 18 (9): 597-602 1995).

Burl Pettibon, founder of The Pettibon System of Spinal Correction, found in 2005, that 98.7% of children with ADD have subluxated atlas bones.

A study published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association found that out of 1,250 infants chosen at random, 211 suffered from nervousness, vomiting, muscular abnormalities, tremors and insomnia.  Two hundred of those children had abnormal cervical (neck) muscle strain indicating vertebral subluxation.  When the subluxation was adjusted and the muscle strain removed, an immediate calming often resulted; the children’s crying stopped, the muscles relaxed, and the children fell asleep.  The authors noted that an unhealthy spine causes “many clinical features from central motor impairment to lower resistance to infections- especially ear, nose and throat infections.”
