Langley discovered at the beginning of the 20th century that the digestive tract and some related organs have a very large network of neurons with their own autonomy and a fine regulation by the central nervous system. This is the enteric nervous system, which is part of the autonomic nervous system and is found in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon.
The neurons of the enteric nervous system are collected in two types of ganglia called nerve plexuses. To control and regulate these plexuses, they communicate with the sympathetic nervous system (which originates in the dorsal and lumbar spine) and the parasympathetic nervous system (which originates in the brain stem and of which the vagus nerve is also a part).
The spinal cord, which continues with the brain through the medulla oblongata and at the level of the cranial foramen (foramen magnum), branches and gives rise to 31 pairs of spinal nerves. The pairs that go from the T5 to L2 vertebrae are those that carry the fibers of the sympathetic nervous system to the entire digestive tract, after meeting with specific ganglia (celiac and mesenteric).
It is the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) that carries parasympathetic nervous system fibers to the proximities of the esophagus, stomach, pancreas and mid large intestine. And it is the sacral plexus that carries parasympathetic fibers to the descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum and anus. All these actions mediated to stimulate intestinal secretion and motility.
Intestinal disorders of infectious origin, food intolerances to lactose, gluten and others, carbohydrate malabsorption, parasitosis, or as a consequence of anxiety disorders, represent a minor effectiveness to the correction of the Minor Atlas Misalignment, taking into account that NOT everything comes from the Atlas.

Please read our disclaimer.
It is not our intention that readers of this website assume that the Minor Intervertebral Derangement of the Atlas is the only cause of the health problems listed earlier in this section. Pain is usually a warning sign that there is an actual or potential tissue damage, so it is necessary to see a specialist to determine its possible causes.
E.g. headaches or local pain can have many causes and can also be a sign of an ongoing disease. Even apparent benign muscle pain can indicate a metabolic, immune, vascular or joint condition. Therefore, if you have any of these health problems, please contact your doctor and follow the proper treatment. Remember to manage your health quickly.
AtlasPROfilax® is a kinesiological method that supports allopathic and natural medicine as well as orthopedic dentistry. In no case does it interfere with or replace medical and/or dental treatments or medicines. The only purpose is to correct the MID of the Atlas to improve the quality of life of the patient and turn their body into a more fertile ground for any subsequent treatment and therapy.
The same way that a large number of patients react quite well to complementary medicine specialties (homeopathy, neural therapy, acupuncture, naturopathy, aromatherapy, nutraceuticals, osteopathy, chiropractic, massages, energy therapies, etc.), there is always a population that, due to a lack of receptivity to these techniques or due to the condition of their own health, does not have the expected results.
Likewise, as Chilean biologists Maturana and Varela state, "Living beings are networks of molecular productions where the produced molecules generate their interactions in the same network that produces them". This principle of autopoiesis, which deals with self-production and self-regulation, explains why some patients evolve favorably with a therapy while others don't.
All the above is to point out that the atlas MID correction has been shown to be highly effective in reducing benign chronic myofascial pain, in some functional alterations of posture as well as in the rearrangement of the Tonic Postural System. However, as in any specialty of complementary medicine, the results are proportional to the patient's autopoiesis.
There are several probable etiologies for the development of problems and pain in the body, from endogenous (genetic, congenital, autoimmune, etc.), exogenous (allergic, iatrogenic, pathogenic, etc.), environmental (mechanical and postural, ergonomic, professional, etc.) and multifactorial (neoplastic, idiopathic, psychosomatic, etc.) alterations.
The misalignment of the Atlas had not been taken into account up until the development of Osteopathy in 1874 by A. Taylor Still, M.D. and the birth of Chiropractic in 1895 by D. D. Palmer. The concept of Minor Intervertebral Desarrangement was included in 1969 by R. Maigne, M.D. The MID of the Atlas, studied in depth for 20 years by Dr. R.-C. Schümperli, E.M., was published in 1993.
The MID of C1 is one of the factors that triggers myofascial pain, but it is not the only one. Minor Intervertebral Derangement of any area of the spine may be painfully projected into certain muscles and ligaments. This to point out that the MID of C1 is not a justification for all myofascial pain, although the correction of this MID helps to reverse MIDs from other areas.
The correction of the MID of C1 has been highly favorable for the following cases:
