>From reading the post below, it appears there is some uniformity of thought
with those statements and the Atlas Orthogonal program of upper cervical
precision alignment.
Instrument forces are delivered in pounds but are disseminated along the way
resulting in only ounces or less of force...to nudge the 3 UpC segments into
neutral structural positions conducive to neuro integrity in this area. The
Global Neuro Network then proceeds individually as genetically replicated
through the trial and error of the eons of time in the masses nature has had
us evolve through.
Yes, in the UpC area nudging is appropriate considering the disc-less freely
moveable diarthrodial joints; especially when the alignee is in the side
posture sans the gravitational axial compressive forces of the skull.
