Atlas treatment for Chiari Malformation | Portland Chiropractor Dr. Chris Cooper, DC, BCAO
Published 2019-07-08
Atlas Orthogonal upper cervical chiropractic has been shown to help "less than full" Chiari Malformations pull back up about 2mm post adjustment.
We did a trial of care (2 weeks) to see if Samantha responded. She is doing wonderfully!

Either she was extremely anxious doing this and relieved after or this little machine and stylus made one heck of difference. Her face and smile say it all.

Does this treatment help patients with Atlanto axial instability? I have reversal of the cervical curve and tonsil ectopia of 5mm, but i have all the really terrible neuro symptoms associated with chiari. I may have Atlanta axial instability but it's not clear. I'm declining fast but I haven't tolerated cervical traction particularly well.

I was flat out told post op that chiropractic work would paralyze me and nobody worth anything wouldn’t touch you either.

So can I get my mate to do this for me with a hammer and punch? Tap tap tappety tap.

This is BS. There is not a neurologist that would ever let a Chari patient do this.

I was diagnosed with Chiari type 1 and syringomyelia in 02. I had decompression brain surgery in 2004. After my first appt w/the neuro surgeon he told me three things that I could never do again...ride roller coasters, do yoga in inverted positions and get an adjustment at a chiropractor. I see a chiro for muscles, but have always headed my surgeons warning. Why is it all right for this girl to be adjusted? I’d be so curious to understand what an “atlas adjustment” is and why it is safe for us with Chiari. My chiro said adjustments are off the table for me as well. Confused.

I developed neuro symptoms after a regular chiro, wondering if this may help

I have chiari malformation type 1 and i was told no one would help me cuz of how severe my symptoms are. I have headache's, back, nech pain everyday and occasional tingling/numbness in my arms and shoulders and feet. Trouble seeing/swolling. Trouble sleeping and i cant sleep on the right side of my head due to tendernes. is it true no one will help me or is it just hard to find someone that will?

For Samantha: Do diaphragm stretches and deep breathing using the wimhoff method. I find I can stretch the interior spine cervica, thoracic and lumbar with deep breathing and deep breath holds while stretching.❤

What kind of massager is that?
-
Very hard to believe that little needle top change the body
-
Interesting. Wish I could understand more about how external adjustments can alter tonsil position. But I’m not really one to benefit anyway. I was 12mm and got decompression surgery
