Atlas Correction: treatment process

Atlas correction typically begins with a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine the position of your atlas vertebra. This differs from classic physiotherapeutic approaches, in which manual adjustments are often made to various sections of the spine.

In general, atlas correction requires only a few sessions. Often a single treatment is enough, followed by a check-up to verify the stability of the correction of your atlas vertebra.

In some cases, however, further sessions may be necessary – particularly where long-standing muscular imbalances are present.

Atlas correction uses a gentle, targeted method to treat misalignments in the area of the atlas vertebra. The aim of the treatment is to reduce tension, improve mobility and return the atlas to as natural a position as possible. The treatment is carried out in a controlled and gentle manner, without jerking movements.

This method focuses on natural alignment and improving body balance, without aggressive movements or pressure.

Which conditions is atlas therapy used for?

Atlas therapy is used for a wide range of complaints, particularly problems associated with a misalignment of the first cervical vertebra, the atlas. 

Typical areas of application include:

  • Neck and back pain:
    These can be caused by a misalignment of your atlas.

  • Headaches and migraine:
    An incorrect atlas position can cause tension in the head area and therefore headaches.

  • Dizziness and balance disorders:
    Impaired atlas function can affect balance and spatial orientation.

  • Jaw problems:
    A misaligned atlas can affect your jaw position and lead to problems such as TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorders).
 
  • Pelvic obliquity and leg length differences:
    These can arise through a chain reaction triggered by a misalignment of your atlas.

Frequently asked questions

In Vienna, an atlas correction for adults usually costs 160 € for the first session and 135 € for a follow-up session. A preparatory session that may be necessary would also cost approximately 135 €.

Yes, the atlas vertebra can shift again after a correction, especially if the underlying causes – such as muscular imbalances or poor posture – are not addressed. Regular check-ups and exercises can help to maintain the stability of your muscles and therefore the correct position of your atlas.

A shift of the atlas vertebra can manifest itself through various symptoms, such as neck pain, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, visual disturbances and a general feeling of imbalance. However, these symptoms are non-specific and may also point to other problems.

The effect of atlas therapy can vary, but patients usually feel an improvement in their symptoms within a few days to a few weeks after the treatment. It can depend on the individual response of the body and the type of complaints.
