You say your neck and back are still hurting a lot? Are you getting regular massage? And why are you still getting other adjustments?

If you are seeing a standard chiropractor who gives manual adjustments, I would encourage you to investigate low-force or no-force chiropractic care. Adjustments should not hurt.

My favorite type of no-force is B.E.S.T. / Morter Health System trained chiropractic care. I have info on it here:

Oh, ok, I think I know the bone you mean in the foot. Not sure what that condition is called here in the states. Maybe someone reading this can let us know about that.

Keep us posted.

I have had a lot of foodallergies and stomichpain all my life, so I belive thats the reason my stomich got worse after the treatment. By the way the stomich still hurts. But I have heard it can take months before its get better.

I dont howe to explain lockfoot since my english is so bad. But I can try. Its a bone in the foot, between the heel and the toes wich is locked. After I had this treatment my os coccygis is less painful. And I can walk in normal shoes.

So things is defintly happening, but I am still in much pain, and felling sick. I hope it turns soon. But the man who did the atlasprofilaxtreatment said that longer the body has been sick, the longer its take to regenerate the body. So I am trying to keep my hope up a little longer.

Bye for now, I write more some other time:-)

I’ll be curious to hear back if the stomach pain continues. I’m not sure why atlasprofilax would trigger that sort of response. However, if you had a chronic subluxation that affected the nerves that inervate the stomach, I suppose it’s possible that there could be an adjustment period of healing.

Keep us posted. And thanks.

I write more some other day, my babyboy just woke up.
Bye for now

As far as fibromyalgia goes, I suffered from that greatly in the 80’s. In my own case, I found most of the pain was stress-related and from way back. In other words, once I did a lot of the emotional healing I needed to do, which took years by the way, the pain reduced greatly.

Fibromyalgia is sort of a made-up condition anyway. Doctors don’t know what it is so they call it fibromyalgia which literally means your muscles hurt. The pain is real but doctors really don’t know what causes it so they have to call it something.

Massage was vital for me but it became clear that not every massage therapist could handle fibromyalgia. There are massage therapists who specialize in fibro trigger points and know how to work with fibro pain far better than others. I’d seek one of those out.

Also, you might consider foot reflexology. Because it the painful areas are not directly massaged, it can be far less painful than a full body massage although you will likely have painful areas on the reflexes in the feet that correspond with the shoulders, neck and fibro trigger points.

Atlasprofilax alone is not enough, in my opinion. Though it can help, I believe, to correct atlas misalignment, I think it is only the beginning of healing a chronic pain situation like fibro.

Muscle relaxers can be helpful….not sure I’d do that for 2 weeks though but at least 2 or 3 days. Also, baking soda baths might be helpful though not if you are on a sodium restricted diet.

As far as having mercury fillings removed, that could most definitely be a factor because of released mercury that may have settled in joints, organs or tissues. Please read the post here on heavy metals:

In 2 days I will be getting my Atlas done and I’ve also been hoping that it will “take”. Thank you Neva for having this blog about it and thank you to the posters for their feedback. I did alot of research online for finding a real cure for my fibromyalgia. When I put 2 and 2 together and found out about Atlas Profilax I definately know that it is a major contributing factor because I had very bad whiplash after a car accident. Then I had my mercury fillings removed and when I think back, it was right after that, when I starting to develop fibro symptoms. Perhaps a year later, with a positive diagnosis. Since the accident, I’ve never been able to lay on my back or sides. Nor can I read a book or watch T.V. in any straining positions such as looking up or holding my head up because the back of my neck pinches sooo badly that I will black out if I continue.

After reading the comments here, I will definately focus on self-massage with my percussion massager because I cannot afford to go to a massage therapist. My husband suggested that I stay zoo’d out on muscle relaxants for 2 - 4 weeks and I think it’s a good idea. I think that I will continue to sleep with my feather pillow rolled under to support my neck too as I’ve had to. If anyone else has any other eureka’s about how to treat the muscles and encourage the healing process so it doesn’t slip back out would be greatly appreciated.

With gratitude,
Ayla

The reasoning is that, even though the atlas may be correctly positioned, all the muscles that may have been improperly positioned may still be tight and need attention to shift and adjust as well.

I look forward to your continued feedback.

Your trip sounds like a fun one. Best of luck coordinating your atlasprofilax treatment and I’d love it if you shared your results afterwards.
