At
Upper Cervical Wellness Center, Dr. Rion Peddy utilizes the Atlas
Orthogonal technique to gently correct the misalignments in our cervical
spines, more specifically, our atlas and axis (C1 and C2). If one of
the upper two bones becomes misaligned, two things happen. First, it
irritates or interferes with the brain stem and reduces brain-to-body
communication. Wherever those messages were intended to go, whether
it's your foot, kidney, pancreas, heart, lungs, eyes or ears, it is
going to malfunction due to neurovascular insult. Secondly consider the
upper spine a kinetic chain, connected from the head to toe. If either
of the top two bones becomes misaligned the rest of the body must
compensate or adapt, resulting in total "body imbalance." In the end
your health and physical body will be compromised. This is called an
Atlas Subluxation.
This
is where the Atlas Orthogonal instrument, and Dr. Peddy, come in. This
instrument was designed to deliver a very precise adjustment, via
percussion, to the vertebrae. Dr. Peddy will place the stylus, based on
your specific misalignment, in the appropriate spot to correct your
subluxation. This is a gentle, effective treatment that does not employ
any physical thrusts. As non-invasive and subtle as the treatment may
seem, the Atlas Orthogonal adjustment can help your body function
properly and pain free, resolving many health conditions!
