1 year anniversary almost

I had the atlas proceedure done in September 2008 and here it is the end of August 2009 so it can be rounded off into a year.

I remain convinced that the atlas profilax treatment is a no brainer. I believe that it was the catalyst that has resulted in my increase of energy, ease of movement, increased range of motion and all of this without the debilitating pain in my joints and muscles. Don't get me wrong there is still residual feeling at times in all the old places and I imagine at my age for the rest of my life. But I can run and jump, work and play without the sharp pains that say stop, lay down and die.

I took up a new hobby that reflects my new found health. at 58, ok I'll be 59 next saturday the 22nd, I've taken up Judo. So I literally run and jump. The first time I did a forward roll I got up a bit dizzy, but now I can do them with the kids. Falling backwards on purpose felt so alien at first, now they are easy. I know that practice makes perfect but to do it without pain that's the trick. My body needs to do something physical like this. It craves full body activity and I haven't been able to provide it for my body because it has been hurting so much over the past 20 years. It literally feels like I've gotten 20 years younger.

I believe that I can now go into my next 20 years acting and feeling like a kid, playing with my grandchildren and before you know it great grandchildren. That has been my goal forever but now I can easily visualize it happening.

ps I just went back to the first post and the exact year anniversary is September 7th. So it's still 3 weeks away.

ppss The last post before this new one was from Melissa. She's our adopted daughter and I thought you should know that she's about 25, I think. It's the guy thing not remembering ages and birthdates. I love the way the muscles respond after having the atlas put in place. She complained to me about 4 weeks ago about her wrist and forearm hurting because of her job. She described it as a constant throbbing carpal tunnel pain. I massaged her wrist a little but then just thinking out loud, I told her that the source of the pain is probably up her in your elbow, I held onto a muscle there and she said that the pain in her wrist stopped instantly. I had hit the source. So I spent the next 10 min working that area.

I talked to her the next week and the pain had not returned. I talked to her just a couple days ago and it still has not returned. I'm naive enough to believe that without the atlas profilax the pain would have returned the next day and it would need constant attention.

Melissa

I went to see troy on March 5, 2009 because I had extremely bad muscule pain going from my neck into my shoulder for the last 7 years. The last three years it was hurting almost every day. I tried shots, massages, and physical therepy. Nothing helped. The day I went to see troy it was hurting so badly I could barely hold my head up. When he was finished I had no pain. It amazed me because the massages I had gotten in the past didn't even faze the pain. The pain has not been back since! I also had restless leg syndrome, burning in my c-7, tons of tension all the way down my back, and many migrains. I no longer feel any pain in my back and have not gotten a migrain since. I have felt little pain in my legs but nothing like it was before! I had a hard time standing up because I had a fractured disk in my lower back. I honestley could only stand for maybe at the most 3minutes before it would become very uncomfortable and I would have to sit down. Guess what... I can stand again without it hurting! I am very excited because I have been to doctor after doctor trying to find something to help. I got different answers from every doctor and all they wanted to do for me is give me a bunch a pills that never helped. The pills cover up the symptoms but never helped the problem. Troy did and I love the way I feel!!!

Things have been happening though unsaid

MY BODY HAS BECOME ITS OWN CHIROPRACTOR

I've been to a multitude of chiropractors and my body has become better than all of them put together. I feel my body making adjustments all the time. I feel my body becoming straighter and stronger all the time. As soon as my body makes a new adjustment I then see that there was still improvment to make.

Since I last wrote my body has been working on my upper back and shoulders. The focal point has been inbetween my shoulder blades manifested by a pretty good soreness in the muscles on both sides of my spine. The pain in that spot has mostly disappeared with the revelation that there is a great freedom in the movement of the whole of my shoulder joints. It's pretty cool.

Somewhere along the way the process will heal my lower back and hips which is a pretty weak area. There has been some work done there but my body knows when that area should be addressed. The whole process is a slow one for me and I suppose for most as muscles strengthen and equalize.


Like I said several posts ago my goal was to take all my children and grandchildren to have their atlas placed. During this last week I took our adopted daugther Melissa and her son Bridger. In a few weeks I'll have them post their feelings and experiences.

Bridger was a lot more cooperative than his cousin Auzhel. He squirmed a bit, probably due to his attention span rather than discomfort. He sat by himself and allowed Troy to work on him with just a little bit of reminding.

Melissa had the same responce to the treatment as all the other adults. She felt a sense of posture and release of tension. On the way home she did express the feeling that some of the tension was returning. We saw them the next night and the intensity of tension had not returned. I imagine that at times the intensity will return for a brief reminder but not remain.


I continue to recommend to all who are seeking a more permanent healing process to have the Atlas Profilax treatment done to them. It's out of the ordinary and that's probably why I embrased it.
