Although no one single scientific answer can be formulated, it is thought that childbirth or early childhood falls are commonly responsible. Later in life – sporting injuries, knocks to the head, car accidents and whiplashes may also contribute to the Atlas misalignment.
The majority of our patients feel improvement straight away. Others feel alignment took longer over two or three weeks. Although most discomfort disappears straight away a greater sense of posture may take over a month as the body incrementally straightens, one day at a time.
