Identify this Machine (answer: atlas orthogonal)
Okay, time to give the answer. This strange machine is used in certain chiropractic office, that practices atlas orthogonal adjustments. I guess it would be called an Atlas Machine?
If you’ve had this procedure done – please comment and let me know what you think.
The way it works it you like on a table, the machine in the picture is carefully setup near the base of your neck. The machine then “taps” your atlas bone back into correct position. By tap, I really do mean tap, you barely feel anything. The machine is NOT as scary as it looks (Yes it looks like a painful machine). I will admit at first it felt great once my “atlas” was aligned. I got turned off as soon as I walked into the hall of the office I was shuffled into an office for the quick hard sell. Suddenly the Doctor who I had talked to and been with through multiple appointments disappeared, and I was confronted with “treatment” options. I can remember the exact payment amounts, but I remember is being around $2000 for the spinal correction. This involved coming in almost everyday for a while, then gradually scaling back to a few times a week, then finally a few times a month.
The way the whole thing went down just didn’t sit well with me. It just felt way to much like a well-rehearsed marketing process. Now I understand they have to make money, but I shouldn’t feel like I’m at a used car sales office. I firmly believe much of the hype is meant to be mental, if you *think* you feel better, you will feel better.
You can make your own conclusion. I belive this is the “official” website for the practice method and machine. http://www.atlasorthogonality.com/
Also, Montel had the procedure done and raves about it here.

Okay my 7 year old son had scoliosis and his c1 was off by over 45 degrees. We were sent to an atlas orthogonal chiropractor by my regular chiropractor.
This chiro had my son lay on his side on the table and brought the atlas machine over behind his earlobe.
It NEVER TOUCHED HIM. He clicked the button on the top that made a single fairly quiet “click”
My son stood up and bent over lifting his shirt and his scoliosis was completely corrected. I noticed IMMEDIATE results as soon as he started walking.
My son had preschool reading abilities as well as other learning disabilities. Now only a week later, he is keeping up with his summer school classmates and reading at the 2nd grade level. He can count to 100, count it by 2s, 5s, and 10s without stopping. He can count to 1000!!! When he could only count to 29 before.
I never imagined these kinds of results from the adjustment. It saved my son from surgery and gave him a whole new life.
My son can run now, he can jump with both feet off the ground, even ride a bike.
These may sound like simple things to most people, but my son was unable to do them before his adjustment with this piece of equipment.
