Your atlas bone is your first cervical bone in the neck. It’s involved in so many different autonomic and neurological conditions. When there is nerve irritation that can affect your body in many different ways. Remember that nerves control everything in your body. Making a simple change restoring motion can make big changes. Wishing you and your family good health! 😊
Thank you so much for this great information and video! I have a c3-t3 fusion that really Is concern for me when it comes to rotations and what I should and shouldn’t do. Also have a L3-si fusion so I feel really limited in motion. Thanks for all you do for us! God bless🤗
some liquid goes from my skull/brain to cervical bone to spine... i don't know...i wont read dr's analyses in fact, i refuse to read any of dr's analyses ever i receive infusion in hospital, twice in year i look good, healthy, smt have difficulties with walking AND I'LL NOT OK BUT B E S T
Dear Dr. Mandell, you have changed my life. My atlas was misaligned for a year after a visit to a chiropractor that adjusted me improperly. I have been having issues for so long that hopelessness had a grip on me and I had become very anxious about how I would ever finish my studies because I couldn’t study without being in pain. I wanted to tell you that you have given me my life back. I am crying tears of gratitude and joy right now. I had a very emotional release and I want you to be proud that you have made me whole again.
I’m almost in tears right now. Been suffering from terrible vertigo for almost 10days now. Seen two drs including an ent. Had 2 rounds of antibiotics and steroids and nothing helped. The drs couldn’t explain what was wrong except I had eustacian tube dysfunction. Did this for about 10 seconds and my neck popped somewhere and now my right ear and sinuses are draining and my vertigo is seriously gone instantly! Thank you Dr.! You are truly amazing! I’m in tears! Thank you thank you!
I had the same reaction years ago when a nurse did the Epley maneuver on me after a TBI. I cried because my world stopped spinning for the first time in about 2 months. The movement of this and the Epley are very similar. I've had to redo this procedure a couple times in the last decade but Its an instant fix. Glad it helped you.
I have to write even though this video came out a year ago. I have had neck issues for 45 years. I have been to several chiropractors, physical therapist etc. No one ever showed me this technique. My neck feels better then it ever has after doing this almost daily for only a couple minutes. I still can’t believe it worked for me. I will be doing this for the rest of my life.Thank you so much!
Hppy u feel better 😊😊.. Just if u can say how u dj it Do u push with thumbs or use the other fingers to pull the head ? Is it passive mov by hands or active mov by neck muscles s? Thn x
@@Aochic I understand. I do alot of hands on bodywork and try stuff like this on myself and my clients and all people should be proactive or they will be ticking time bombs of bad health. I teach my clients self care routines too. I'm sure you do as well. Thank you for responding!
@Aochic Well, sure, some people will fall off the edge of a cliff accidentally, but like with raw milk and honey, why are we killing it before we consume it? It's the healthiest raw! It's so big companies don't get sued if someone "falls off the cliff," so to speak. Still, we should remain proactive with this mind, body, and spirit we have. Each one is a thing we possess as long as we are alive, so why not try the atlas routine? I would rather try the routine than buy alcohol, or eat micky d's, or take pain pills............
Thank you for the help. I am a C5/C6 incomplete. I am technically a quadriplegic but have limited movement every where. No one is willing to help. I just did this in my wheelchair and felt warmth through my hands. If there are other techniques or if you know specialists that work on incomplete paralysis, I and many others, will appreciate your guidance. I am having great day! I pray you do as well!

I also agree by putting castor oil every night on the back of your neck and eat an anti-inflammatory diet like keto which is low carb. It will take some months to see a difference but many times it is inflammation. You can also look up to see if there is a keto doctor or carnivore doctor in your area. There are lots of videos to know how to start a keto diet. May God guide you and heal you in Jesus Name. Amen.
I had worked at a upper cervical doctors office. Correcting that area of the neck can change a person life. I have seen it improve many people's lives, while I was there.
I have been to an UC Dr. for just 5 sessions, just found out about it. The first time I went and had the adjustment was one of the single best things I've done for my health I've ever experienced. I only wished that feeling would last or would be that dramatic in follow up visits. I'm "holding", but the discomfort seems to revert back to what it was before that initial visit. But I'm hopeful I will see continued improvement overall.
@@allgoldproductions high blood sugar/ insulin can cause inflammatory disease which affects the joints, muscles, tendons etc. When I am like this my chiropractic adjustments will put me back in place but I can’t stay there for long.
@@patriciacarlyle9456 I'm pretty sure that my levels are good. I don't eat much processed sugar if at all. I'm going to see a biological dentist at the recommendation of this UC chiropractor because he seems to think I may have a cavitation which is contributing to my problems. The dentist as part of his initial consultation in addition to doing the cone xray does blood work and checks the A1C and Vit D levels. So I'll get confirmation is anything is going on there.
@@Truerealism747 I never had any shoulder pain so I can't speak to that. But it's all connected. I know my Dad had shoulder pain and he went to a different chiro and got a book on trigger points and was able to identify a couple spots to work out the muscles and stretches and that helped free up what was referring pain into his shoulder. Good luck.
This WORKS like gangbusters! My neck had been misaligned since February (I'm writing this in November). I had two chiropractic adjustments to try to fix my alignment. Both times, the adjustment was out within minutes -- before I got back to the parking lot. I had near constant neck (nerve) pain, brain fog, sharp nerve pain bending over, sneezing, etc., and my neck/throat protruded forward more than it should. I tried Dr. Mandell's Atlas Fix before bed last night. I slept with a pain-free neck for the first time in months! I did the procedure again this morning and so far, so good. I have minimal muscle pain (probably working through inflammation from months of misalignment), but the nerve pain is gone in my neck, my brain fog is gone and I feel better than I have in a long time! Thanks, Dr. Mandell!
I can relate to adjustments going out before I was even back home. So frustrating! I have been helped greatly by chiropractors but have also always been frustrated that I couldn't do for myself what they could do for me
Holy Guacamole! My atlas was damaged in a fall as a child and I've had neck issues and headaches ever since (despite many efforts with chiropractors spanning 50 years). I watched this with the familiar early-headache, strain & tension on my left side, and then mindfully performed the exercise, rested and I feel much better. I could notice little 'clunks' and releases as I did the exercise - not just in my atlas area, but all down the trapezius (which is often so tight trying to compensate). There's no hint of headache now - just a little muscle fatigue from the tension. I think that doing this regularly, especially before bed, will really make a difference. Thank-you for this excellent technique!
Hi. I too had a fall, hit my head left side behind ear point of impact. Lived with dizziness. Impacted cervical damage etc. Happened in the 70s. I do v gentle flexi stretching ever day. Will give this a go also. 84 yrs Liverpool UK. Best wishes
Wow! This is a terrific exercise. I am a spinal therapist but have not seen this before. I originally got into spinal therapy because it helped the vertigo I suffered from, caused by my neck. I just felt a significant release from your exercise. Thank you Dr Mandell.
As on Osteopath, I've seen many 'miracles' restoring motion to this joint. It is absolutely incredible. Many (most) GI issues can be cured or at the very least helped restoring motion here. Constipation and Diarrhea often can be cured fixing this articulation as well
@@krpurple2678 there's all kinds of connections. Parasympathetic innervation to the foregut (stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, proximal duodenum) are innervated by the vagus nerve which exit the jugular foramen extremely near this articulation. C1/C2 also is sympathetic innervation to the brain, face and brainstem. Fixing this articulation helps balance sympathetic/parasympathetic to the brain and foregut. It's not which Doctor stuff; it's just anatomy
Indeed. Even fatigue, anxiety and depression. The parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves runs through the stomach and in front of aorta affecting all organs. So they carry the symptoms depending which of the two is pinched and getting irritated. It is recent to allopathy doctors that you can get a heart attack from your neck to be the direct cause of it. Yet they are not allowed to promote manual chiropractor therapy for their industry is controlled by drug companies money and guided protocols. I have the problem since 2006 with entire neck and whole spine from severe injury that I had to hunt my own solutions to treat that I tried everything from massage, chiropractor, prolotherapy, acupuncture and herbs and relevant vitamins to reduce acute and chronic inflammation. Any normal person will have died in 3 years, but I was proactive that after 1year I threw my pain mental medications to work on them physically.
I was dizzy for a month, went to the ER twice, went to the neuro and the ENT but nothing helped as much. After trying so many things that helped a little, the biggest noticeable change was after doing these exercises for about 3 days. I’m only 10-20% dizzy on most days, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Crazy how much this area can affect us when it's compressed! I've had dizziness, nausea, tinnitus, vision problems, gastric problems all stemming from the for the past 2 years.
Update, I experience vertigo (not just feeling off balance) after a 3 hr plane ride. 😢 This time it’s taken me longer to stabilize but I will start doing these again.
Look for an upper cervical specialist chiropactor in your area. A good uppee cervical specialist will take many xrays before and after. Dont go to a gp chiro.
Have suffered for years from chronic head and neck pain. This exercise relieved the pain immediately, cleared my sinuses and made me feel great ! Amazing...
I have been seeing an upper cervical chiropractor and he has changed my life. I was miserable and in constant pain. I couldn't massage it away. I couldn't take enough Advil to make it better. Regular chiropractor's we're unable to bring me relief. I honestly was suffering for years. Now I feel awesome! My body is so much more efficient. My pain is gone. My posture is almost perfect. I'm light on my feet. I sleep better. The benefits are too much to list. I will be forever grateful for the work my chiropractor has done for me.
Been diagnosed with CFS and have whiplash injury.. and no health care personnel have any idea of cure. I've been researching myself. Thank you dear Dr Mandell for this information!!
I have chronic whiplash and get cranial sacral treatments that address the deep lower back skull tightness/pain, but key modality for healing is Reiki. Try it...you'll like it!!
Wow!! After doing this exercise a bit I had the following changes: Cleaner, more saturated and sharp vision. Lighter neck/head/jaw feeling. Reduction in jaw/neck tension. Change in Tinnitus tone (from multiple tones to one, but this didn't last as long) Change in Tinnitus timbre (less abrasive/a more comforting sound) For a moment I could hear detailed sound in the frequency range my Tinnitus was And I feel more immersed in my environment.
You are amazing doc and if I ever met you I would want to give you the biggest most heartfelt hug. You are a dear dear man. Thank you for all you do to help people help themselves.
I have had extremely loud tinnitus for 20 years. I tried everything and nothing worked. I did this once last night and again once today. It is 70 percent better on the right and 90 percent on the left. I’m going to bring this video and the second on the muscles to physical therapist and negotiate weekly treatments and reeducation on using that area. I had a neck injury 20 years ago and I realized I don’t turn my head I turn my whole upper body. THANK you so much for this amazing video. TRULY a game changer!
70% and 90%.. hmmmm.. did you know 50% of the people make up statistics 90% of the time? Sorry, I couldn't help myself.. lol.. Best of luck on your recovery!
WOW! as a massage and cranial sacral therapist, I understand well what you have demonstrated. I tried it on myself (I have limited range in my neck and chronic low grade pain) and I felt a wave of nausea. woah and then behold! relief! you are a perfect angel Dr Mandel. You help so many. Now I will in turn be able to help more and I always tell my clients you are the best doc on TH-cam
Thank you Dr Mandell…I’m a young woman who has had a miserable day trying to deal with the edema collecting (and bursting) in my scalp- I don’t have a diagnosis, been dismissed as allergies despite my lifelong allergies being nothing like the insidious and rapid onset of this over the last 18 months (rapidly worse last 6 months). I’ve been awake for 24 hours, because it’s so uncomfortable. This just provided me with the first decent drainage which didn’t require me to be manually pressing on nodes. Thank you and have a wonderful day 🌿🌿
Dear Scooby Doo, it's very difficult to self diagnose! Have you tried an elimination diet, at all? I do get head and neck inflammation, heavy sinuses etc, too as a result of diet. No longer eating wheat largely preventing a heady/woolly head feeling, but you could try short spells if omitting other natural food changes, such as milk, fish, sugar and or wheat. It could reveal surprising results. Hope this atlas procedure does a lot also. Very good luck, with it!🌿
After 25 years of increasing allergic responses to a rapidly increasing list of foods (and negative results on every allergy test) I'm being strongly pulled into a belief I'm reacting to salicylates in plant based foods. I recommend you look into it. While you are doing that try going carnivore for 90 days to give your system a rest and reduce inflammation. Try betaine HCL with each meal. It will help digest foods for easier absorption
I’m assuming you have done lymphatic drainage like Dr Mark Lynch demonstrates on TH-cam. If you search lymph and lynch it will come up. I’m glad you got relief from this exercise from Dr Mandell. I had edema in feet ankles and shins until I started ketogenic eating for AC unrelated issue. Carnivore has a similar effect. Just throwing out suggestions in case there’s something you haven’t already done amongst them. Praying for you to have relief SOON! Just returned from chiro appt and had my blocks stacked up straight! God bless!
One of the other people in this reply section mentioned eliminating milk and to that I say all milk but raw milk, as the enzymes are necessary for digestion so you should never drink pasteurized milk. And while self diagnosis can be risky it's not nearly as risky and trusting doctors, doctors are overrated, and medical error is one of the leading causes of death. Be your own physician. Self diagnosis is pretty reliable, women have pretty good intuition
@@bron-sconcess.10 I’ve had the exact same problems with wheat, and every time I cave and eat a little, some symptoms come back but not nearly as bad. I used to suffer from sinus infections multiple times a year and now I’ve had none since giving up gluten. It’s so nice 😆
I’m not makin’ this up. I saw this video and my first thought was to write a comment asking if you have any help for those who suffer w/ tinnitus. Then I started the video 😮 I will be doing this daily. Thank you for the many free tips you share to help people. It’s very appreciated 🙏🏼 God Bless you❤
Thank you Dr. Mandell. You are such a loving, kind and caring spirit. I feel your compassion in every video. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping mankind. You are what every doctor should be. Much love from Texas.🤗🌸🥀🌟
Thank you for sharing this Dr Mandell. I fell from a barn loft when I was 3 or 4. I remember it to this day and I’m now 62. It knocked me out. I believe this is why my neck has hurt me a-lot especially when tense most of my life. One time of this and my neck feels much better! I know a little friend who started having seizures when a small girl. They said she had epilepsy but her mother researched what could be wrong instead. She learned about the Atlas and took her out of state to a chiropractor who specialized in this.To this day she has had no more seizures and she is mid 40’s now! So glad to learn how to do this myself. Thank you thank you! 🥰
YOUR CHANGING LIVES DOCTOR, keep doing what you're doing . I always underestimated chiropractic problems and thought i would never have to deal with them, now im dealing with a misaligned atlas, TMJ and other issues with my lower back and neck. This exercise just made me feel like a new person. Much love from Washington DC!!!
Awesome, I wish I had found this video 6 months ago. My head was almost immobile with horrible neck and jaw pain along with facial numbness. I used more typical stretches, along with a cervical neck stretcher. The neck stretcher was a Godsend. If you have that kind of pain do yourself a massive favor and get one. Now I have an additonal exercise to use. THANK YOU Doctor. ❤ It may take a few weeks to regain your movement, but be patient and dont stop! Im 100% now.
Wow! I just did this exercise and had 3 completely different areas in my neck and back all pop in the first 15 second of doing this! I’m excited to see how I feel tomorrow!
Dear Dr Mandell, bless you. I was taken to a chiropractor when I was 11 years old who's method of treatment was karate chop to the vertebrae seem to recall v5 but I could be mistaken. The last treatment I had hurt and I subsequently had nosebleeds, headaches and dizziness, nausea and progressing to vomiting any food I ate. I lost sensation in the thoracic region of my back and weighed 80 lbs. A different chiropractor, a gentle man restored me. I hope you continue to share your practice with us. You make such a great contribution to goodness and health. ❤🎉
Thank you , it’s just what I need to see.. after being slammed by a vehicle , whiplash , my neck has been awful , and locks at the top and I’ve lost my flexibility in turning .. thank you so much 😊
Through this video I was able to identify that my atlas was locked. I searched online and found a video on how to realign atlas. That's how I fixed my headache and other neuro symptoms.
I’m Menieres diagnosed. I now believe that it is not an inner ear issue but cervical/muscular/mechanical. My symptoms resolved or decreased so much as to not interfere in my life, by addressing my jaw, cervical, SCM, etc
They thought I had the same but I started seeing a nucca and it resolved all my issues!!! I was in shock at how little allopathic docs can help in many of these health problems!
BLISS, absolutely bliss. I am so blown away how effective. I can feel my body again, I cried, I went into shock from this! Hard for me to believe something so simple is SO effective. I’m so excited to do this daily to see what happens. My emotions are back and I feel like I’m in my body. Thank you, thank you, thank, you truly are a blessing!💙🙏
I go once a month to a woman who checks my atlas bone out, makes sure it’s straight. She’s been able to see that my pelvis was out of alignment. If your Atlas bone is aligned properly, the rest of your spine is too.
Wow... amazing!! Got a surprising pop in the right side of my neck causing relief to my left side of neck. I will do this every day as i have such horrible neck knots and pain, headaches & tinnitus. Thank you!!!
I did this while lying flat on the floor and I wasn't able to achieve the flexibility I had hoped I would. But, it must have made some shifts because I really felt this across my solar plexus and once I finished the process and got up I felt a lot of physical release in the solar plexus and on the sides of my neck. I will continue doing this to experience other possible changes in the future. I do have an overall feeling of "lightness". Thank you!
Dr Allen Mandell, You have been such an inspiration and a blessing to my life since the day I've found you one year ago. You bring wonderful healthy information to the world to millions. I can say this honestly, you have changed my life and have given me hope, happiness and a spiritual understanding to not only health but to a new look on life. God bless you Dr Allen Mandell 🙏
this exercise improves my quality of life by 80%. With a motorcycle accident damaging my neck and disc I had been told by neurologist in a neurosurgeon that surgery was my only option left. I had been attempting to fix this problem with therapy for over a year. This exercise did immense improvement within a week and I continue to improve and am astounded by how well I am doing. I am sure it cannot do this for everyone but it was the right thing for my condition.
@@elizabethw.454 Correct, I did not have surgery. Unfortunately however, it has not helped anyone else that I have told about it so I guess it depends on the type of problem you have. Good luck
OMG this is amazing too!! My neck hurts all the time and after doing this and working on the axis I feel so much relief! Simply amazing!! Thank you Dr. M! ❤️🤗❤️
What an amazing Doctor. Don’t know what I would do with out this fantastic knowledge. Dr Mandell, you’re a blessing Sir. Thank you for changing the world, one video at a time.
I've suffered from severe TMJ pain for years. When doing this exercise it feels tight and stiff on the left side (this is the side I have really bad TMJ discomfort) however, it's provided so much relief!! My jaw opens without pain immediately after doing this exercise. Thank you Dr. Mandell.
Thank you so much!! I’m so happy I found this. I’ve been healing from a car accident for years and just started experiencing some of the biggest shifts in my consciousness and alignment. This makes sense.
I had an Atlas correction (Atlas Profilax treatment), and it made a huge difference to... everything. I think that everyone should learn about it, and consider it for their themselves.
I have been dealing with significant fatigue for the last 20 months since having covid and the right side of my brain has felt inflamed, almost like there is too much fluid on that side of my head. I've also had a lot of discomfort along the trigeminal nerve. Within 10 minutes of doing this exercise I could feel fluid draining in my ear which I believe was directly related to the exercise. It's not yet gone, but I do feel less inflammation so will do this daily. Thanks so much for sharing this and changing lives.
Awesome, I just clicked on this while I was trying to cope with the unpleasant symptoms that were making it very un-fun to keep my eyes focused on the computer while sitting up at the same time (despite my efforts to make it all as ergonomic as I can, sometimes I just have to give up and go back to lying down in a darkened room if I don't want to throw up). I am prone to this sort of thing since I have a congenital curve in my spine and I am always trying new ways to relieve it when it acts up. Most of the time I am healthier than many people that I know, but then I get hit by things like nausea, headaches, and motion sickness the rest of the time. So this helps a lot, thank you!
My wife has had vertigo and tinnitus for years and hasn’t been able to drive for the last 2 because the vertigo is so debilitating. We do know that she has an atlas issue. I PRAY that this works for her!
I would suggest going to a chiropractor that specializes in Blair upper cervical treatments. They specialize in correcting the atlas to bring back functionality, so your body can start to heal itself. I just started seeing one in my city because of trigeminal neuralgia and I’m starting to see benefits of having an aligned spine. They also incorporate other modalities such as infrared treatments to bring down inflammation. Here’s to your health!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. About two weeks ago I awakened, apparently while sleeping I did damage to the right side of that area. Now, it's been causing me to have restricted neck mobility. Thank you so much for this simple exercise. I just did it for a minute and will make sure to do it tomorrow morning and periodically throughout the day.
😲Wow! TYTYTY! Instead of taking my std ‘morning’ Advil, I did this one time yesterday and it gave immed relief. So, since I woke up with neck stiffness, did this exercise twice. I’m amazed at how my range of motion improved. Will be cool to do a proper head turn while backing up my car! FYI, took me a few tries to find the right spots and I actually had better luck using my two middle fingers. No light feeling; just relief. Also, just noticed that my tinnitus is almost zip! This will be a regular for me.❤️
Dear Motivational Doc, I have been following your channel for years. This Video has provided me tremendous relief as I have been suffering from a buildup of lymph in my face and jaw. The exercise you shared has opened up my neck and shoulders from the first exercise. Thank You and Continue sharing value with your audience. Stay Well 🙏🥰🙏
Thank you Dr. I suffer from most, if not all of these symptoms & I believe that this will really help. You truly are a wonderful person 🙌 . Take care. Much love to all
Hey, did this last night. Already having a pretty amazing day! I don’t usually repeat things that are good for me, but I want to see if I will continue to drop my shoulders and have even just the same amount of freedom of movement in my neck as I have today. I’ve had one good day. Let’s see if I can get another ❤
Thank you so much. I have been suffering so much with pain near my atlas joint. I have an issue with c4 and c5, too. But i knew i had two problem areas in my neck. All doctors and specialists i visited said the pain behind my ear is because of issues with c4 and c5. You are the first person explaining exactly what i am experiencing. Will try this exercise daily.
Doctor Mandell, masterfull as always !! I have lots of cervical Instabilities. OA in the spine and facet joints, DDD, disc bulges / stenosis in many areas of my spine. Your adage of restoring Mobility , we restore health and function. When I do this exercise, Carefully, I feel and hear grinding and clicking. Aside from the 1 inch shorter right leg I have, sustained as a result of a femur fracture in 1966 playing HS Football (I'm 70 now), I commutted to work & home by car, for over 45 years. As one Chiropractor said to me, that contributed to my Foward head Posture with Incorrect Driving position for 3 hours a day and then add the PC time - and Loss of the Cervical Curve is the result. I have come to learn (via intensive Internet research) about Cervical Instabilities , the affects to the Central Nervous system and The VAGUS Nerve - the Motherlode of the parasympathetic Nervous system affecting your well being !! Should i be doing these exercises when I hear grinding / cricking & cracking. I suffer with Tinnitus, Chronic Sinusitis, Dizziness/Vertigo, IBS /GERD, Chronic Tempral headaches from the Occipital / Temporal area, svere stiffness, and bouts of Baldder & Bowel Incontinence.
This is not medical advice, but perhaps some level of cervical traction could free up some lost disc spacing for less interference in the range of motion. 🤷♂️
Dude! You just saved alot of people from alot of future problems with this technique. See, the government should be paying you big bucks to teach people this stuff in person or through videos like this. Thank you much, Julian Rivera
I cant thank you enough, I tell everyone how you helped me with mirgraines, weight, and several other ailments. I feel so much better without the meds.
I come from Germany and unfortunately I had a chiropractor who wanted to do something good for me and adjust my cervical spine. I also wanted to say that, according to the orthopedist, I have scoliosis in the cervical spine. Since then I have had severe memory problems, always cotton wool in my head. My eyes are also a problem. Und jeden Tag habe ich dumpfe leichte Kopfschmerzen I have just done the exercise carefully and feel a significant improvement. Thank you very much. I will do it carefully every day and have hope again.
Right on, Doc. I suffer from severe lumbar disc injuries to L2 and down. The only thing that brought me relief was adjusting the atlas with NUCCA and later Atlas Orthogonal which I can no longer afford. I've been in a major flare up of the lumbar and tried to adjust the atlas as my docs used to do. It immediately released my lumbar, straightening out the leg length difference, but won't stay in. Thank you for this technique! I had an audible adjustment when I did it. This video is an answer to my prayers. God bless you, Doc.
Just did this and I think it’s working. I dealt with severe cracking in my spine and neck when I breathe in and it caused many issues like vertigo and pain and DRD. i’ll keep this posted
You put yourself in the hospital , you knew you had cervical issues, so you should have gone to a doctor first, and second he said be gentle , don't push hard, so you should be extremely gentle since you know your condition.
Yes, my headache is completely gone (I wonder if it's just for a while?), the numbness in my left hand has gone, and I no longer feel dizzy when I tilt my head back. The sceptical know-it-alls can argue as much as they like, it helps. I follow your other videos on the subject, too. Gratitude and recognition: Liza / Hungary🙏
I'm in positive tears right now! I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me. The symptoms you explain in the first few minutes this amazing video, are so dead on point it's unbelievable almost. I'm 6"3, 3/4 in height. I exactly do a lot of the stimulation exercises you mentioned. This is nothing but the universe guiding me on the right path to improving my health. Which is more important than anything else I need in my life at the moment. I get dizzy spells, fatigue, body aches all over, severe head pressure throughout my day. One moment I feel fine the next I don't. 😅 Thank you @motivationaldoc you are such an extraordinary man to us all not just me. 🎉 Keep up the phenomenal work! 🤸🏽♂️🏃🏾♂️💪🏽☺️♾️✨💯🙋🏽♂️
😮The universe is an inanimate object, meaning it has NO thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. ! However, the Creator of the universe, God, has All those attributes and more ! 😊❤
I was a 10 lbs baby born from a 110lbs mother. I had so little space I was born with one ear touching my shoulder and my parents had to stretch my neck side to side for my irst 3 months. This should probably have been the next exercise to do. Thanks!
Um... of all the therapies you've demonstrated this one's having a profound effect on me, more so than some others. Certainly I can feel the relaxation and relief from tension in the localized area. Furthermore upon trying this for the first time, my sinuses opened up immediately. It's allergy season and I've been hit pretty hard by it. Along with the earlier instruction on the pressure points on the face to help open the sinus cavities, this seems to be having a profound effect in several areas - I'm also feeling less pressure around my eyes and the muscles around my head feel more relaxed. And this is just after a couple sessions laying in my bed on my back without the pillows doing just like you showed. This is definitely going to become part of my stretching regime. I'm looking forward to see if this has lasting long-term effects. Admittedly I just started but we'll see. Oh, forgot to mention: THANK YOU!
A million thanks to you Dr.Mandell. Your video saved my quality of life. I am extremely grateful and thankful that I stumbled upon this video. I had a misaligned atlas and a tilted head for the past 4 years and I thought it was because my scoliosis got worse all this time. I did this yesterday and my head was aligned after. I’m insanely grateful for you and your work. We need more great doctors like you. I wish you all the health and happiness to you and your family. Thank you.
The skeletal structure, and accompying ligaments, tendons, muscles, and complex system of intricate nerve placement---is nothing less than a Miraculous Testimony of the Wisdom of a Mighty GOD.
Thk you Doc, been suffering w/ neck & shoulder since a car accident 3 yrs ago & felt relief immediately after trying❤ God Bless You 4 helping so many others w/ your Natural cures‼️❤💪
I was discharged from the hospital last month with persistent dizziness and nausea after being rear ended in a car accident. This simple movement unlocked so much tension as a result of the accident. I can't thank you enough!!!

Wow! Just did your technique doc,head felt light at first,but strangely a sudden rush of oxygen to the brain, pain in neck has disappeared,wow I am buzzing,waited for years for some relief,at last at 68 free from pain,god bless doc,for your wonderful concise explanation,your a true star⭐best wishes from myself,and all of the UK!
it took me some time to really grasp where to put pressure, it would be nice to see a more close up of the correct spot, but I think I got it and it feels very effective, even got some goosebumps in my skalp a minute later thank you a lot for the video.
The same thing happened to me... this really works! I think the general area can be seen fairly well from the video - I don't think there is an exact spot. I put my thumbs in the general area and its seeming to have a huge effect (at least for me) along with some of the sensations you're talking about!
Thank you for this video. I had a bad fall 2 years ago and have had pain ever since. I also stopped all sugar and lost 30 pounds at that same time so my situation is complicated I believe my spine has realigned after the weight loss in my belly and the Vegas nerve is rejuvenating. I think this video will be extremely helpful in my recovery. I love and appreciate ALL of your utube “lessons”
Your atlas bone is your first cervical bone in the neck. It’s involved in so many different autonomic and neurological conditions. When there is nerve irritation that can affect your body in many different ways. Remember that nerves control everything in your body. Making a simple change restoring motion can make big changes. Wishing you and your family good health! 😊

I need your help! I need to come see you! Great video thanks
Dear Dr. Mandell, you have changed my life. My atlas was misaligned for a year after a visit to a chiropractor that adjusted me improperly. I have been having issues for so long that hopelessness had a grip on me and I had become very anxious about how I would ever finish my studies because I couldn’t study without being in pain. I wanted to tell you that you have given me my life back. I am crying tears of gratitude and joy right now. I had a very emotional release and I want you to be proud that you have made me whole again.
What did you do exactly and how long it took for your Atlas to get realigned?
Bro tell me how I can correct my atlas there has no good doctor in india
How exactly was your atlas adjusted?
have you ever seen a blair upper cervical chiropractor? it's gentle and is designed to align your atlas and other misalignments
hey i am going through the same , cant focus on studies because of this . pls tell me exactly what you did .
I’m almost in tears right now. Been suffering from terrible vertigo for almost 10days now. Seen two drs including an ent. Had 2 rounds of antibiotics and steroids and nothing helped. The drs couldn’t explain what was wrong except I had eustacian tube dysfunction. Did this for about 10 seconds and my neck popped somewhere and now my right ear and sinuses are draining and my vertigo is seriously gone instantly! Thank you Dr.! You are truly amazing! I’m in tears! Thank you thank you!
I had the same reaction years ago when a nurse did the Epley maneuver on me after a TBI. I cried because my world stopped spinning for the first time in about 2 months. The movement of this and the Epley are very similar. I've had to redo this procedure a couple times in the last decade but Its an instant fix. Glad it helped you.
I have to write even though this video came out a year ago. I have had neck issues for 45 years. I have been to several chiropractors, physical therapist etc. No one ever showed me this technique. My neck feels better then it ever has after doing this almost daily for only a couple minutes. I still can’t believe it worked for me. I will be doing this for the rest of my life.Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Doc I appreciate you so very much .Bless you stay well we ❤❤you,you’re an amazing. Kind human man 😊
Hppy u feel better 😊😊..
Just if u can say how u dj it Do u push with thumbs or use the other fingers to pull the head ? Is it passive mov by hands or active mov by neck muscles s?

@@chrissisco8374 hell yeah!
This is no joke! I am a Board Certified Atlas Orthogonal chiropractor. A gentle, yet very powerful adjustment. It was life changing for me!
I appreciate a chiropractor acknowledging this man's technique. It gives the general public peace of mind.
@@Flexearth77 I say it meaning, i don't recommend someone other than a chiropractor moving this bone. it needs to be done with extreme caution.
@@Aochic
I understand. I do alot of hands on bodywork and try stuff like this on myself and my clients and all people should be proactive or they will be ticking time bombs of bad health. I teach my clients self care routines too. I'm sure you do as well. Thank you for responding!
@@Flexearth77 I had patient displace her atlas with pencil (trying to mimic a specific adjustment) and gave herself a facial palsy.
@Aochic
Well, sure, some people will fall off the edge of a cliff accidentally, but like with raw milk and honey, why are we killing it before we consume it? It's the healthiest raw! It's so big companies don't get sued if someone "falls off the cliff," so to speak. Still, we should remain proactive with this mind, body, and spirit we have. Each one is a thing we possess as long as we are alive, so why not try the atlas routine? I would rather try the routine than buy alcohol, or eat micky d's, or take pain pills............
We all moan about social media but how amazing is it that we can find this kind of expertise for free!

Thank you for the help. I am a C5/C6 incomplete. I am technically a quadriplegic but have limited movement every where. No one is willing to help. I just did this in my wheelchair and felt warmth through my hands. If there are other techniques or if you know specialists that work on incomplete paralysis, I and many others, will appreciate your guidance.
I am having great day! I pray you do as well!

I also agree by putting castor oil every night on the back of your neck and eat an anti-inflammatory diet like keto which is low carb. It will take some months to see a difference but many times it is inflammation. You can also look up to see if there is a keto doctor or carnivore doctor in your area. There are lots of videos to know how to start a keto diet. May God guide you and heal you in Jesus Name. Amen.
For years of chronic pains I suffered, I just felt a burst of oxygen flowing to my brain. I can't thank you enough!!
Can you please tell me After how many rimes it starts to work..
I mean toi feel better .. Thanks
Has it worked yet? @@Zied2hfhd
Great for you I've felt that once myself
@@Zied2hfhd Really ... are you serious! - Do it for your self and find out!
Might just rather be head feels lighter or something like this doesn’t have to be oxygen
I had worked at a upper cervical doctors office. Correcting that area of the neck can change a person life. I have seen it improve many people's lives, while I was there.
I have been to an UC Dr. for just 5 sessions, just found out about it. The first time I went and had the adjustment was one of the single best things I've done for my health I've ever experienced. I only wished that feeling would last or would be that dramatic in follow up visits. I'm "holding", but the discomfort seems to revert back to what it was before that initial visit. But I'm hopeful I will see continued improvement overall.
@@allgoldproductions high blood sugar/ insulin can cause inflammatory disease which affects the joints, muscles, tendons etc. When I am like this my chiropractic adjustments will put me back in place but I can’t stay there for long.
@@patriciacarlyle9456 I'm pretty sure that my levels are good. I don't eat much processed sugar if at all. I'm going to see a biological dentist at the recommendation of this UC chiropractor because he seems to think I may have a cavitation which is contributing to my problems. The dentist as part of his initial consultation in addition to doing the cone xray does blood work and checks the A1C and Vit D levels. So I'll get confirmation is anything is going on there.
I've got constant shoulder pain did you see it help with this going tommorow to see dr
@@Truerealism747 I never had any shoulder pain so I can't speak to that. But it's all connected. I know my Dad had shoulder pain and he went to a different chiro and got a book on trigger points and was able to identify a couple spots to work out the muscles and stretches and that helped free up what was referring pain into his shoulder. Good luck.
This WORKS like gangbusters! My neck had been misaligned since February (I'm writing this in November). I had two chiropractic adjustments to try to fix my alignment. Both times, the adjustment was out within minutes -- before I got back to the parking lot. I had near constant neck (nerve) pain, brain fog, sharp nerve pain bending over, sneezing, etc., and my neck/throat protruded forward more than it should. I tried Dr. Mandell's Atlas Fix before bed last night. I slept with a pain-free neck for the first time in months! I did the procedure again this morning and so far, so good. I have minimal muscle pain (probably working through inflammation from months of misalignment), but the nerve pain is gone in my neck, my brain fog is gone and I feel better than I have in a long time! Thanks, Dr. Mandell!
😢 pls googling. In indonesia many years ago, an american therapys made his client died after chiro,
I can relate to adjustments going out before I was even back home. So frustrating! I have been helped greatly by chiropractors but have also always been frustrated that I couldn't do for myself what they could do for me
What is the secret to holding the atlas and not misaligning again?
@@rohitventrapragada1632 I wish I knew! Being able to do the adjustment myself, I re-do it as needed.
@celeste8652 thanks for the reply!
How often do you need to do it? Does it help each time and do you do any other exercises?
Holy Guacamole! My atlas was damaged in a fall as a child and I've had neck issues and headaches ever since (despite many efforts with chiropractors spanning 50 years). I watched this with the familiar early-headache, strain & tension on my left side, and then mindfully performed the exercise, rested and I feel much better. I could notice little 'clunks' and releases as I did the exercise - not just in my atlas area, but all down the trapezius (which is often so tight trying to compensate). There's no hint of headache now - just a little muscle fatigue from the tension. I think that doing this regularly, especially before bed, will really make a difference. Thank-you for this excellent technique!
Hi. I too had a fall, hit my head left side behind ear point of impact. Lived with dizziness. Impacted cervical damage etc. Happened in the 70s. I do v gentle flexi stretching ever day. Will give this a go also. 84 yrs Liverpool UK. Best wishes
@@irenejohnston6802how are the results
Wow! This is a terrific exercise. I am a spinal therapist but have not seen this before. I originally got into spinal therapy because it helped the vertigo I suffered from, caused by my neck. I just felt a significant release from your exercise. Thank you Dr Mandell.
What specialty? PT, chiropractic, orthopedic, etc.?
Have you tried y strap?
So what helped your vertigo from neck to heal ?
A lot of people don't realize just how much pressure spinal issues can have on that area near and behind the ear.
@@alexorphic2752 What helped for me is stimulating the Vagus Nerve. Look into that and you be surprised how important that nerve is
As on Osteopath, I've seen many 'miracles' restoring motion to this joint. It is absolutely incredible. Many (most) GI issues can be cured or at the very least helped restoring motion here. Constipation and Diarrhea often can be cured fixing this articulation as well
That sounds too strange to be true but I have both problems and I know they are connected in some way
Yes they are connected since I know from personal experience.
@@krpurple2678 there's all kinds of connections. Parasympathetic innervation to the foregut (stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, proximal duodenum) are innervated by the vagus nerve which exit the jugular foramen extremely near this articulation. C1/C2 also is sympathetic innervation to the brain, face and brainstem. Fixing this articulation helps balance sympathetic/parasympathetic to the brain and foregut. It's not which Doctor stuff; it's just anatomy
@@darkmagician4224 I do believe it, I've been watching so many TH-cam videos that helped me understand the connections.
Indeed. Even fatigue, anxiety and depression. The parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves runs through the stomach and in front of aorta affecting all organs. So they carry the symptoms depending which of the two is pinched and getting irritated. It is recent to allopathy doctors that you can get a heart attack from your neck to be the direct cause of it. Yet they are not allowed to promote manual chiropractor therapy for their industry is controlled by drug companies money and guided protocols.
I have the problem since 2006 with entire neck and whole spine from severe injury that I had to hunt my own solutions to treat that I tried everything from massage, chiropractor, prolotherapy, acupuncture and herbs and relevant vitamins to reduce acute and chronic inflammation. Any normal person will have died in 3 years, but I was proactive that after 1year I threw my pain mental medications to work on them physically.
I was dizzy for a month, went to the ER twice, went to the neuro and the ENT but nothing helped as much. After trying so many things that helped a little, the biggest noticeable change was after doing these exercises for about 3 days. I’m only 10-20% dizzy on most days, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Crazy how much this area can affect us when it's compressed! I've had dizziness, nausea, tinnitus, vision problems, gastric problems all stemming from the for the past 2 years.
Thank you for sharing. It's helpful to me. I hope you are still feeling better❤
Update, I experience vertigo (not just feeling off balance) after a 3 hr plane ride. 😢
This time it’s taken me longer to stabilize but I will start doing these again.
@@Deisye0 I still get dizziness sometimes after car rides or sleeping on my back.
Look for an upper cervical specialist chiropactor in your area. A good uppee cervical specialist will take many xrays before and after. Dont go to a gp chiro.
Have suffered for years from chronic head and neck pain. This exercise relieved the pain immediately, cleared my sinuses and made me feel great ! Amazing...
Did it cure your head pain long term though?
Did it also cure HIV, Cancer, Racism and capitalism?
:/
I have been seeing an upper cervical chiropractor and he has changed my life. I was miserable and in constant pain. I couldn't massage it away. I couldn't take enough Advil to make it better. Regular chiropractor's we're unable to bring me relief. I honestly was suffering for years. Now I feel awesome! My body is so much more efficient. My pain is gone. My posture is almost perfect. I'm light on my feet. I sleep better. The benefits are too much to list. I will be forever grateful for the work my chiropractor has done for me.
What were your symptoms. Is it just pain
Been to UC chiro for almost a year 0 relief
Been diagnosed with CFS and have whiplash injury.. and no health care personnel have any idea of cure. I've been researching myself. Thank you dear Dr Mandell for this information!!
I have chronic whiplash and get cranial sacral treatments that address the deep lower back skull tightness/pain, but key modality for healing is Reiki. Try it...you'll like it!!
Y strap problem solved
Did this exercise help you?
Never give up, be your own physician. The doctors and officials are absolutely unreliable. Never give up. Knowledge is power God bless
Has this exercises helped you?
Wow!! After doing this exercise a bit I had the following changes:
Cleaner, more saturated and sharp vision.
Lighter neck/head/jaw feeling.
Reduction in jaw/neck tension.
Change in Tinnitus tone (from multiple tones to one, but this didn't last as long)
Change in Tinnitus timbre (less abrasive/a more comforting sound)
For a moment I could hear detailed sound in the frequency range my Tinnitus was
And I feel more immersed in my environment.
This amazing Dr must be blessed of God!
😳
Yes! Sharper vision by far!.
Placebo hits hard

You are amazing doc and if I ever met you I would want to give you the biggest most heartfelt hug. You are a dear dear man. Thank you for all you do to help people help themselves.
I'm a Chiropractor and I want to thank you you for all you do.
I have had extremely loud tinnitus for 20 years. I tried everything and nothing worked. I did this once last night and again once today. It is 70 percent better on the right and 90 percent on the left. I’m going to bring this video and the second on the muscles to physical therapist and negotiate weekly treatments and reeducation on using that area. I had a neck injury 20 years ago and I realized I don’t turn my head I turn my whole upper body. THANK you so much for this amazing video. TRULY a game changer!
70% and 90%.. hmmmm.. did you know 50% of the people make up statistics 90% of the time? Sorry, I couldn't help myself.. lol.. Best of luck on your recovery!
WOW! as a massage and cranial sacral therapist, I understand well what you have demonstrated. I tried it on myself (I have limited range in my neck and chronic low grade pain) and I felt a wave of nausea. woah and then behold! relief! you are a perfect angel Dr Mandel. You help so many. Now I will in turn be able to help more and I always tell my clients you are the best doc on TH-cam
I felt nausea too, what is that? Inner ear stuff?
@@melodymac1 idk interesting point. good question for doc M if he reads all his mail
@@melodymac1 maybe vagus nerve...
Even I also felt,a little dizziness,as soon as I sit on my sofa
Thank you Dr Mandell…I’m a young woman who has had a miserable day trying to deal with the edema collecting (and bursting) in my scalp- I don’t have a diagnosis, been dismissed as allergies despite my lifelong allergies being nothing like the insidious and rapid onset of this over the last 18 months (rapidly worse last 6 months).
I’ve been awake for 24 hours, because it’s so uncomfortable. This just provided me with the first decent drainage which didn’t require me to be manually pressing on nodes.
Thank you and have a wonderful day 🌿🌿
Dear Scooby Doo, it's very difficult to self diagnose! Have you tried an elimination diet, at all? I do get head and neck inflammation, heavy sinuses etc, too as a result of diet. No longer eating wheat largely preventing a heady/woolly head feeling, but you could try short spells if omitting other natural food changes, such as milk, fish, sugar and or wheat. It could reveal surprising results.
Hope this atlas procedure does a lot also. Very good luck, with it!🌿
After 25 years of increasing allergic responses to a rapidly increasing list of foods (and negative results on every allergy test) I'm being strongly pulled into a belief I'm reacting to salicylates in plant based foods.
I recommend you look into it. While you are doing that try going carnivore for 90 days to give your system a rest and reduce inflammation. Try betaine HCL with each meal. It will help digest foods for easier absorption
I’m assuming you have done lymphatic drainage like Dr Mark Lynch demonstrates on TH-cam. If you search lymph and lynch it will come up. I’m glad you got relief from this exercise from Dr Mandell. I had edema in feet ankles and shins until I started ketogenic eating for AC unrelated issue. Carnivore has a similar effect. Just throwing out suggestions in case there’s something you haven’t already done amongst them. Praying for you to have relief SOON! Just returned from chiro appt and had my blocks stacked up straight! God bless!
One of the other people in this reply section mentioned eliminating milk and to that I say all milk but raw milk, as the enzymes are necessary for digestion so you should never drink pasteurized milk. And while self diagnosis can be risky it's not nearly as risky and trusting doctors, doctors are overrated, and medical error is one of the leading causes of death. Be your own physician. Self diagnosis is pretty reliable, women have pretty good intuition
@@bron-sconcess.10 I’ve had the exact same problems with wheat, and every time I cave and eat a little, some symptoms come back but not nearly as bad. I used to suffer from sinus infections multiple times a year and now I’ve had none since giving up gluten. It’s so nice 😆
I’m not makin’ this up. I saw this video and my first thought was to write a comment asking if you have any help for those who suffer w/ tinnitus. Then I started the video 😮
I will be doing this daily. Thank you for the many free tips you share to help people. It’s very appreciated 🙏🏼 God Bless you❤
Thank you Dr. Mandell. You are such a loving, kind and caring spirit. I feel your compassion in every video. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping mankind. You are what every doctor should be. Much love from Texas.🤗🌸🥀🌟

Absolutely agree 🥰
@david sturgeon you mean the poison? People need to wake up and research. 🤗
agreee
This is definitely what my problem is. Thanks for your explanation. Now, I know, I have to fix my atlas to restore my health.
Thank you for sharing this Dr Mandell. I fell from a barn loft when I was 3 or 4. I remember it to this day and I’m now 62. It knocked me out. I believe this is why my neck has hurt me a-lot especially when tense most of my life. One time of this and my neck feels much better!
I know a little friend who started having seizures when a small girl. They said she had epilepsy but her mother researched what could be wrong instead. She learned about the Atlas and took her out of state to a chiropractor who specialized in this.To this day she has had no more seizures and she is mid 40’s now! So glad to learn how to do this myself. Thank you thank you! 🥰
YOUR CHANGING LIVES DOCTOR, keep doing what you're doing . I always underestimated chiropractic problems and thought i would never have to deal with them, now im dealing with a misaligned atlas, TMJ and other issues with my lower back and neck. This exercise just made me feel like a new person. Much love from Washington DC!!!
Can you please tell me After how many rimes it starts to work..
I mean toi feel better .. Thanks
Please tell us after how many sets or days you feel better
Awesome, I wish I had found this video 6 months ago. My head was almost immobile with horrible neck and jaw pain along with facial numbness. I used more typical stretches, along with a cervical neck stretcher. The neck stretcher was a Godsend. If you have that kind of pain do yourself a massive favor and get one. Now I have an additonal exercise to use. THANK YOU Doctor. ❤
It may take a few weeks to regain your movement, but be patient and dont stop! Im 100% now.
Hi, what is a neck stretcher ?
*I* wish I'd found it six DECADES ago!!
Wow! I just did this exercise and had 3 completely different areas in my neck and back all pop in the first 15 second of doing this! I’m excited to see how I feel tomorrow!

Dear Dr Mandell, bless you. I was taken to a chiropractor when I was 11 years old who's method of treatment was karate chop to the vertebrae seem to recall v5 but I could be mistaken. The last treatment I had hurt and I subsequently had nosebleeds, headaches and dizziness, nausea and progressing to vomiting any food I ate. I lost sensation in the thoracic region of my back and weighed 80 lbs. A different chiropractor, a gentle man restored me. I hope you continue to share your practice with us. You make such a great contribution to goodness and health. ❤🎉

I go once a month to a woman who checks my atlas bone out, makes sure it’s straight. She’s been able to see that my pelvis was out of alignment. If your Atlas bone is aligned properly, the rest of your spine is too.
Is there a connection between your pelvis alignment and the atlas?

Wow... amazing!! Got a surprising pop in the right side of my neck causing relief to my left side of neck. I will do this every day as i have such horrible neck knots and pain, headaches & tinnitus. Thank you!!!
I did this while lying flat on the floor and I wasn't able to achieve the flexibility I had hoped I would. But, it must have made some shifts because I really felt this across my solar plexus and once I finished the process and got up I felt a lot of physical release in the solar plexus and on the sides of my neck. I will continue doing this to experience other possible changes in the future. I do have an overall feeling of "lightness". Thank you!
Dr Allen Mandell,
You have been such an inspiration and a blessing to my life since the day I've found you one year ago. You bring wonderful healthy information to the world to millions.
I can say this honestly, you have changed my life and have given me hope, happiness and a spiritual understanding to not only health but to a new look on life.
God bless you Dr Allen Mandell 🙏
this exercise improves my quality of life by 80%. With a motorcycle accident damaging my neck and disc I had been told by neurologist in a neurosurgeon that surgery was my only option left. I had been attempting to fix this problem with therapy for over a year. This exercise did immense improvement within a week and I continue to improve and am astounded by how well I am doing. I am sure it cannot do this for everyone but it was the right thing for my condition.
So you chose not to have surgery correct?
@@elizabethw.454 Correct, I did not have surgery. Unfortunately however, it has not helped anyone else that I have told about it so I guess it depends on the type of problem you have. Good luck

What an amazing Doctor. Don’t know what I would do with out this fantastic knowledge. Dr Mandell, you’re a blessing Sir. Thank you for changing the world, one video at a time.
I've suffered from severe TMJ pain for years. When doing this exercise it feels tight and stiff on the left side (this is the side I have really bad TMJ discomfort) however, it's provided so much relief!! My jaw opens without pain immediately after doing this exercise. Thank you Dr. Mandell.
Thank you so much!! I’m so happy I found this. I’ve been healing from a car accident for years and just started experiencing some of the biggest shifts in my consciousness and alignment. This makes sense.
I had an Atlas correction (Atlas Profilax treatment), and it made a huge difference to... everything. I think that everyone should learn about it, and consider it for their themselves.
Which location did you go to?
I have been dealing with significant fatigue for the last 20 months since having covid and the right side of my brain has felt inflamed, almost like there is too much fluid on that side of my head. I've also had a lot of discomfort along the trigeminal nerve. Within 10 minutes of doing this exercise I could feel fluid draining in my ear which I believe was directly related to the exercise. It's not yet gone, but I do feel less inflammation so will do this daily. Thanks so much for sharing this and changing lives.
Hey I’ve been dealing with the same problem lately, what did you do to make it go away?
This felt so lovely I heard a little release in the ears and draining through the throat. Thanks Dr. Mandell.
Thank you. It eased my tinnitus and I felt the blood flow with a slight itching of my scalp. Amazing
You have no idea how life changing it is to stumble across the very rare few videos such as yours. Thank you. Quality of life.
Awesome, I just clicked on this while I was trying to cope with the unpleasant symptoms that were making it very un-fun to keep my eyes focused on the computer while sitting up at the same time (despite my efforts to make it all as ergonomic as I can, sometimes I just have to give up and go back to lying down in a darkened room if I don't want to throw up). I am prone to this sort of thing since I have a congenital curve in my spine and I am always trying new ways to relieve it when it acts up. Most of the time I am healthier than many people that I know, but then I get hit by things like nausea, headaches, and motion sickness the rest of the time. So this helps a lot, thank you!
My wife has had vertigo and tinnitus for years and hasn’t been able to drive for the last 2 because the vertigo is so debilitating. We do know that she has an atlas issue. I PRAY that this works for her!
Keep us updated please how it went. If you find any other solution please let me know. Thank you
I would suggest going to a chiropractor that specializes in Blair upper cervical treatments. They specialize in correcting the atlas to bring back functionality, so your body can start to heal itself. I just started seeing one in my city because of trigeminal neuralgia and I’m starting to see benefits of having an aligned spine. They also incorporate other modalities such as infrared treatments to bring down inflammation. Here’s to your health!
How she doing now?
@babiejo59 how is your trigeminal neuralgia now?
A hefty dose of B vitamins every day cured vertigo for my friend
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. About two weeks ago I awakened, apparently while sleeping I did damage to the right side of that area. Now, it's been causing me to have restricted neck mobility. Thank you so much for this simple exercise. I just did it for a minute and will make sure to do it tomorrow morning and periodically throughout the day.
😲Wow! TYTYTY! Instead of taking my std ‘morning’ Advil, I did this one time yesterday and it gave immed relief. So, since I woke up with neck stiffness, did this exercise twice. I’m amazed at how my range of motion improved. Will be cool to do a proper head turn while backing up my car!
FYI, took me a few tries to find the right spots and I actually had better luck using my two middle fingers. No light feeling; just relief. Also, just noticed that my tinnitus is almost zip! This will be a regular for me.❤️
Thank you so much Dr. Mandell. The more we know & understand about how our bodies stay healthy ,the better !
Dear Motivational Doc, I have been following your channel for years. This Video has provided me tremendous relief as I have been suffering from a buildup of lymph in my face and jaw. The exercise you shared has opened up my neck and shoulders from the first exercise. Thank You and Continue sharing value with your audience. Stay Well 🙏🥰🙏
Thank you Dr. I suffer from most, if not all of these symptoms & I believe that this will really help. You truly are a wonderful person 🙌 . Take care. Much love to all
Hey, did this last night. Already having a pretty amazing day! I don’t usually repeat things that are good for me, but I want to see if I will continue to drop my shoulders and have even just the same amount of freedom of movement in my neck as I have today.
I’ve had one good day. Let’s see if I can get another ❤
Blessed Father's Day to you Dr. Mandell & all Fathers 🙌💖🙏
Why not make eveyday into “fathers Day” instead of specificifying one day
My brain fog cleared up from atlas adjustments…. Good information above.
C1 is the most important vertebra. It causes fibromyalgia
Thank you so much. I have been suffering so much with pain near my atlas joint. I have an issue with c4 and c5, too. But i knew i had two problem areas in my neck. All doctors and specialists i visited said the pain behind my ear is because of issues with c4 and c5. You are the first person explaining exactly what i am experiencing. Will try this exercise daily.
Doctor Mandell, masterfull as always !! I have lots of cervical Instabilities. OA in the spine and facet joints, DDD, disc bulges / stenosis in many areas of my spine. Your adage of restoring Mobility , we restore health and function. When I do this exercise, Carefully, I feel and hear grinding and clicking. Aside from the 1 inch shorter right leg I have, sustained as a result of a femur fracture in 1966 playing HS Football (I'm 70 now), I commutted to work & home by car, for over 45 years. As one Chiropractor said to me, that contributed to my Foward head Posture with Incorrect Driving position for 3 hours a day and then add the PC time - and Loss of the Cervical Curve is the result. I have come to learn (via intensive Internet research) about Cervical Instabilities , the affects to the Central Nervous system and The VAGUS Nerve - the Motherlode of the parasympathetic Nervous system affecting your well being !! Should i be doing these exercises when I hear grinding / cricking & cracking. I suffer with Tinnitus, Chronic Sinusitis, Dizziness/Vertigo, IBS /GERD, Chronic Tempral headaches from the Occipital / Temporal area, svere stiffness, and bouts of Baldder & Bowel Incontinence.
This is not medical advice, but perhaps some level of cervical traction could free up some lost disc spacing for less interference in the range of motion. 🤷♂️
Dude! You just saved alot of people from alot of future problems with this technique. See, the government should be paying you big bucks to teach people this stuff in person or through videos like this.
Thank you much,
Julian Rivera
Blessings to you Dr. Mandell. Your a blessing to us all 🌺
I cant thank you enough, I tell everyone how you helped me with mirgraines, weight, and several other ailments. I feel so much better without the meds.
I tried this and now i have constant motion sickness??? Damn this is the danger of youtube
The good Dr. Mandel deserves 50 mil subs. He's doing great work and helping so many. Thank you Doc!
I love you Dr. Mandell. One of the things l love most is that you never are try to sell anything and you truly care, your the best.
I come from Germany and unfortunately I had a chiropractor who wanted to do something good for me and adjust my cervical spine. I also wanted to say that, according to the orthopedist, I have scoliosis in the cervical spine. Since then I have had severe memory problems, always cotton wool in my head. My eyes are also a problem. Und jeden Tag habe ich dumpfe leichte Kopfschmerzen I have just done the exercise carefully and feel a significant improvement. Thank you very much. I will do it carefully every day and have hope again.
What an Angel to gift us with this information. I have been suicidal with atlas, jaw, neck and brain issues. I am so happy to start doong this.
I will DEFINITELY try this exercise daily! For years I have had all the symptoms you mentioned. Thank you for this exercise!😊
Dear Dr Mandell, your technique repaired my neck in one night. I am so Blessed to have found you. Thank you.
Right on, Doc. I suffer from severe lumbar disc injuries to L2 and down. The only thing that brought me relief was adjusting the atlas with NUCCA and later Atlas Orthogonal which I can no longer afford. I've been in a major flare up of the lumbar and tried to adjust the atlas as my docs used to do. It immediately released my lumbar, straightening out the leg length difference, but won't stay in. Thank you for this technique! I had an audible adjustment when I did it. This video is an answer to my prayers. God bless you, Doc.
Just did this and I think it’s working. I dealt with severe cracking in my spine and neck when I breathe in and it caused many issues like vertigo and pain and DRD. i’ll keep this posted
This put me in the hospital last night. Please be cautious when you have upper cervical issues
You put yourself in the hospital , you knew you had cervical issues, so you should have gone to a doctor first, and second he said be gentle , don't push hard, so you should be extremely gentle since you know your condition.
This action is dangerous. Even if you extremely gentle. I am well aware of my issues and proceeded with extreme caution. Troll much?
@@BELINC7 DOCTOR Alan Mandell.
Yes, my headache is completely gone (I wonder if it's just for a while?), the numbness in my left hand has gone, and I no longer feel dizzy when I tilt my head back. The sceptical know-it-alls can argue as much as they like, it helps. I follow your other videos on the subject, too. Gratitude and recognition: Liza / Hungary🙏
I'm in positive tears right now! I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me. The symptoms you explain in the first few minutes this amazing video, are so dead on point it's unbelievable almost. I'm 6"3, 3/4 in height. I exactly do a lot of the stimulation exercises you mentioned. This is nothing but the universe guiding me on the right path to improving my health. Which is more important than anything else I need in my life at the moment. I get dizzy spells, fatigue, body aches all over, severe head pressure throughout my day. One moment I feel fine the next I don't. 😅 Thank you @motivationaldoc you are such an extraordinary man to us all not just me. 🎉 Keep up the phenomenal work! 🤸🏽♂️🏃🏾♂️💪🏽☺️♾️✨💯🙋🏽♂️
😮The universe is an inanimate object, meaning it has NO thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. !
However, the Creator of the universe, God, has All those attributes and more ! 😊❤
Thank you...
your neck and back exercises have been helping me restore mobility and health to my spine. Very much appreciate your free gifts.
I was a 10 lbs baby born from a 110lbs mother. I had so little space I was born with one ear touching my shoulder and my parents had to stretch my neck side to side for my irst 3 months. This should probably have been the next exercise to do. Thanks!
I have multiple sclerosis and have found many of your videos helpful thank you again
Um... of all the therapies you've demonstrated this one's having a profound effect on me, more so than some others. Certainly I can feel the relaxation and relief from tension in the localized area. Furthermore upon trying this for the first time, my sinuses opened up immediately. It's allergy season and I've been hit pretty hard by it. Along with the earlier instruction on the pressure points on the face to help open the sinus cavities, this seems to be having a profound effect in several areas - I'm also feeling less pressure around my eyes and the muscles around my head feel more relaxed. And this is just after a couple sessions laying in my bed on my back without the pillows doing just like you showed. This is definitely going to become part of my stretching regime. I'm looking forward to see if this has lasting long-term effects. Admittedly I just started but we'll see.
Oh, forgot to mention: THANK YOU!
THis is important area, connected with the brain steam that govern all our life energy. Messed with this base, messed with all body system.
A million thanks to you Dr.Mandell. Your video saved my quality of life. I am extremely grateful and thankful that I stumbled upon this video. I had a misaligned atlas and a tilted head for the past 4 years and I thought it was because my scoliosis got worse all this time. I did this yesterday and my head was aligned after. I’m insanely grateful for you and your work. We need more great doctors like you. I wish you all the health and happiness to you and your family. Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Mandell for being here with us ! ❤
Have a fabulous week!
The skeletal structure, and accompying ligaments, tendons, muscles,
and complex system of intricate nerve placement---is nothing less
than a Miraculous Testimony of the Wisdom of a Mighty GOD.
Thk you Doc, been suffering w/ neck & shoulder since a car accident 3 yrs ago & felt relief immediately after trying❤ God Bless You 4 helping so many others w/ your Natural cures‼️❤💪
I was discharged from the hospital last month with persistent dizziness and nausea after being rear ended in a car accident.
This simple movement unlocked so much tension as a result of the accident.
I can't thank you enough!!!
God is the healer
Was he healing the world when he drowned everyone on it for exercising the free will he had given them? Everyone except the fish that is, apparently he had a soft spot for them.
Wow! Just did your technique doc,head felt light at first,but strangely a sudden rush of oxygen to the brain, pain in neck has disappeared,wow I am buzzing,waited for years for some relief,at last at 68 free from pain,god bless doc,for your wonderful concise explanation,your a true star⭐best wishes from myself,and all of the UK!
it took me some time to really grasp where to put pressure, it would be nice to see a more close up of the correct spot, but I think I got it and it feels very effective, even got some goosebumps in my skalp a minute later
thank you a lot for the video.
I don't think I have it quite there yet and I agree, a close up would be more beneficial.
The same thing happened to me... this really works! I think the general area can be seen fairly well from the video - I don't think there is an exact spot. I put my thumbs in the general area and its seeming to have a huge effect (at least for me) along with some of the sensations you're talking about!
Yes. do you put your thumbs on the first vertebra or in the fleshy part?
@@sallymakes fleshy part
@@DebbieUnderfinger agree
Attempt successful. This has been shared liked and saved. Please let an add play to reward the good Dr for his altruism.
You have 7.77 million Subscribers!❤
This worked! Headache is gone! I am going to make this a part of my regular exercise routine. Thank you!
Does anyone else feel clearer after doing this???
Thank you for this video. I had a bad fall 2 years ago and have had pain ever since. I also stopped all sugar and lost 30 pounds at that same time so my situation is complicated I believe my spine has realigned after the weight loss in my belly and the Vegas nerve is rejuvenating. I think this video will be extremely helpful in my recovery. I love and appreciate ALL of your utube “lessons”
