On our last blog/update we discussed PTPDS which give a predictable pattern of symptoms to those afflicted. For today we will be discussing counter rotations of atlas/axis. The top two vertebra are unique in their shape and function. When they move as a unit this is typical of normal biomechanics. However, when they move in opposite directions they produce four common symptomatic presentations. The first is dizziness/vertigo.

The second is tinnitus/ringing in the ears

The third is sinus problems

Finally, many counter rotations are to blame for headaches that are chronic (8-12) per month for years.

If you suffer with these in combination or know of someone who does. Contact us at 770-389-4724 for a free consultation.

I wanted to share this exciting study that came from this past weekends Orthospinolgy Advanced Conference in ATL

One of the most profound discoveries that I have found in my past 18 years in chiropractic study/practice is the term PTPDS. If you google this it won't be there, because I coined the term and have never officially published my findings. However, the information that follows could be the answer to your health problems that you have been searching for.

First of all, why PTPDS?: Post-Traumatic Postural Distortion Syndrome is a combination of symptoms that are seen in individuals with a history of trauma (MVA, falls, abuse) that has produced a postural presentation in which the patients shoulder is higher on the right (for example) and their head tilts to the right at the same time.

This produces restless sleep, mood swings, low energy (CFS), low immunity (resistance) and sore joints and muscles (fibromyalgia).

The secret to helping someone with this syndrome is in how a chiropractor makes the adjustment to the upper cervical spine. Twisting motions will only make things worse. A precise correction with the Grostic method (Orthospinology) is the best way to get the job done!!!DH....follow us on Facebook (Chiropractic Relief Plus-Formerly Humber Chiropractic of Henry County)
