@livchronically: If you have POTS and hEDS and haven’t been able to get to the root cause of it and nothing seems to be working, you might want to get your atlas checked! #potssyndrome #potsawareness #chronicillness #atlas #uppercervical #uppercervicalcare
It’s funny you said this because I get pain at the base of my skull and have mentioned it several times. MRI showed nothing. I have pots

I had an atlas adjustment once because I kept getting ear pain without infections. It was the loudest adjustment I’ve ever had. My brain echoed. Zero ear issues since.

Not me diagnosed with POTS just a few months ago but MANY years ago having a chiropractor telling me that my head literally isn't on straight

Is this why I get that strange crinkly sound from the back of my neck? Like someone crinkles up paper right before the sound of something flowing.

I just discovered my atlas is off by 5 degrees and my nervous system is SHOT and having dysautonomia symptoms. Just started with a Blair technician yesterday.

This is what I’ve been telling my patients! A lot of them said their other doctors have always looked at them crazy when they said they felt nauseous or dizzy with head movements but no pain.

My physical therapist kept telling me I had so so many deep knots in that area too. I've had pots for 10+ years, and have constant pain where my skull connects to my neck. I just say my head is too fat for my body.

Getting my atlas adjusted has helped! But I also encourage people to research stallate ganglion and/or vagus nerve blocks if the adjustments alone don’t work!

Everyone: stop looking down at your phones so much, purposely look at the sky to stretch your neck, do chin tucks, use something like a neck pillow to relax the muscles and decompress at least 5-10 minutes a day

THIS likely explains why I began having POTS - violent symptoms- after a car accident. They only improved with time and years of meds. My neck(when misaligned-often in sleep) gives me issues. I also have hEDS

So my Atlas is split in half. so fun. I've had it carefully adjusted & many of my allergies went away.

I agree!! Been doing NUCCA for 3 years. Be sure to also check for Eagle’s Syndrome that can also block blood flow to jugulars and cause POTS and Dysautonomia. My atlas adjustments were helping drain venous congestion at the base of my skull and also helped with intracranial pressure. Just had right Styloid removed and haven’t needed NUCCA since and Dysautonomia is gone

How do you find out if it’s the atlas causing everything? A iPad.

I think I messed mine up after a serious concussion. Shorty after I developed dysautonomia.

Allison Lee :
Absolutely insane…. 2 years ago i got a concussion accompanied by a telescoping neck injury. I developed pots symptoms once i tried to go back to work and had been SUFFERING since. Like i could not drive in the car for more than 5 minutes without an ice pack tucked in my headband. I got nerve blockers, injectable migraine meds, muscle relaxers, beta blockers, and whatever else you can think of to try and remedy it with no luck. One day I accidentally “clicked” my neck back into place and 99% of EVERYTHING I’ve struggled w vanished. I’m wondering if this is a key to the puzzle 😭
