Welcome to the rebirth of an old Specific Upper Cervical (UpC) blog:  

NVB1.com - This is the name of our old website!     

Welcome or Welcome Back...! ! !  

We've added a new name to the whole Specific UpC World...it is, for us, merely...C1 Atlas...how simple...! ! ! The intent of this blog is to discuss any C1 Atlas topics, introduce and educate students to C1 Atlas methods;  and provide information to lay people so they can make an educated decision about using specific C1 Atlas services vs. any other neuro spinal or musculoskeletal spinal work...and certainly be able to understand how C1Atlas is a Proactive Health Contribution vs Reactive Disease Care and how to discern the difference between these two major categories for people wanting Quality of Life and Optimal Longevity. We can see where education in the correct entities plays a large part in living healthy and active into the 9th, 10th, and 11th decade. Let us help you help yourself in pushing Life's Envelope.  

Any appropriate topic, question, answer, or response is encouraged to be submitted by professionals and lay people alike.

We are choosing from here on out to refer to the entirety of the world of Specific Upper Cervical as merely C1 Atlas since all in the professions know what we mean.

However we do not mean to ignore or promote any one method over another...we will let the facts of the Philosophy, Science, and Art speak for themselves. We definitely hope that your current and further understanding of the C1 Atlas methods will cause you to personally advance yours, and our, Understanding of the Philosophy, the Knowledge of the many Sciences involved, and the Skills of your Art, i.e., Mechanical, Manual, or Instrumental...Art and Marksmanship.   

We intend to discuss old and new C1 Atlas methods for not only historical purposes and historical figures but also for our remembering and honoring our past ROOTS and the passing it up the line of C1 Atlas workers and their consumers and clients for future generations.     

To the lay public who may want to read this first opening article, please go ahead and do so.

However, if what we are talking about in this below information is a bit of a tongue twister or mind bender for you, please realize that the content of this opening article is intended for the doctors who are well-versed in this very precise and difficult and timely to learn Upper Cervical Neuro Spinal Correction work. This is a very important field in the maintaining and restoring of Human Health. 

It may be more comfortable for the lay public and even some doctors to scroll down and choose other articles coming on line as our web site grows.

Many of the future articles and Q's and A's will be geared to providing the lay public a better understanding of the benefits of actual human Health Care (not Medical Disease Care) that our Neuro Spinal work provides.

The following is not a flow chart, or a series of thoughts necessarily needing one thought to follow in any particular order, but merely a list of observations of the phenomena we are speaking of, i.e., HEXAGONS over laid on the Upper Cervical Neuro Spine demonstrating the necessity of Structural Integrity also referred to as the Neuro Spine being in Correct Objective Alignment.

We are looking forward to our group (specific upper cervical alignment specialists) writing about UpC Hexagons, especially our Board Certified members from the various Upper Cervical Groups; as well as anyone else. We have so many other topics in our particular field of Health Care coming that will be up for discussion and Q's & A's by professionals and lay persons as well.

As in any blog, some contributors, or those providing questions may choose to use Usernames, Handles, and Nic-Names. All contributions will be screened for focus and professionalism.

1.) C1 Atlas Hexagons are a complimentary Concept to the existing Specific Upper Cervical Neuro Spine's Structural Configuration and metrics.

2.) C1 Atlas Hexagons, while providing an additional (Hexagonal) View of the UpC region, the Hexagons are not in themselves a method, replacement, nor a competitor of the existing Specific Neuro Spinal Correction Methods of the Atlas Subluxation Complex. 

The Hexagons in this concept, configuration, and upper cervical location are certainly "Food For Thought". We see the HEXAGONS as a concept demonstrating the need for human Specific Upper Cervical Neuro Spinal Alignment. After all, Hexagons are compelled to be in alignment based on their geometric shape, as they are found in other locations in nature.

3.) At the very least C1 Atlas Hexagons are a Neuro Spinal Biomechanical Geometric Art and should also be appreciated as such. See the LOGO. 

4.) C1 Atlas Hexagons bring an added flair of pictorial description to the geometric core of the Upper Cervical Neuro Spine.

5.) When providing to the lay public a pictorial description of the staying power of structural stability of the Upper Cervical Neuro Spine, the current concept of measured dual Condylar and Axial Circles (C/A), may be more akin for the lay public to visualize, to be the balancing of 1 large ball over a smaller ball best performed by a Chinese Acrobat in the circus; a configuration for which there is not an interlocking resting position when the Upper Cervical Neuro Spine is vertical under the perpetual axial gravitational compressive force of Gravity that requires continual antigravity supportive soft tissue muscle tone; or resultant defensive hypertonicity during the Atlas Subluxation Complex condition.

The Hexagonal configuration does allow normal ranges of motion for flexion and extension and rotation. However head tilt, measured in degrees on x-ray, is often a guarded range of motion at best and not so freely movable as the other ranges, Hexagonal articulations limit lateral tilting ranges.

The Hexagonal graphic design overlayed on the 3 UpC segments of C0, C1, and C2 (Occiput, Atlas, and Axis) provides a pictorial environment where this picture is worth a 1,000 words. Hexagons can be an easily observable tool for the lay public to appreciate the importance of their neck's Upper Cervical Neuro Spinal Alignment needs. 

6.) As a result of a Hexagon's singular configuration, when grouped together, we can reasonably say that the Hexagons are compelled to be in alignment with each other, that is what Hexagons do, otherwise they would not be Hexagons. Hexagons have a functional duty as Hexagons which results in their aligned structural configuration as defined by Wolf's Law wherein function determines structure.

7.) Hexagons in this consideration are not a replacement for either the concept of the condylar and axial circles, or the C/A measurement they provide the analysis that contributes to the Atlas Subluxation Complex reduction pathway vector.

As well, the magnitude of necessary force derived from the C/A measurement is a part of the requisite force necessary to specifically reduce the Atlas Subluxation Complex to or towards zero degrees and zero millimeters or Structural Alignment allowing Neuro Integrity (when objectively measured post alignment).

C1 Atlas zero degree displacement measured in relation to the Vertical and Horizontal Axes, is the optimal objective of Neuro Spinal Structural Alignment. However, an improved post alignment greater than zero still includes greater neuro integrated function and is still personally Health rewarding for the Alignee.

8.) In this web site's initial description of Neuro Spinal Hexagons, please allow some descriptive latitude in repetitions made in order to cover as much material as possible.

9.) Neuro Spinal Hexagons provide an easy picture description for both lay people and professioinals alike showing the reasonable, obvious need, and purpose of upper cervical alignment in the Neuro Spine.

10.) The 4 axis Hexagonal interlocking configuration compels alignment requisites, versus the thought of random positioning of the upper cervical Neuro Spinal segments, (much less random forces introduced by cervical manipulation). 

It is patently clear over the last very many decades that specific measurements for Neuro Spinal precision alignment in the Upper Cervical Neuro Spine equates with a return to par Neuro Integrity delivered to and from the human body and all of its cells, tissues, organs and systems (the body's "Apps") via the brain, brain stem, spinal cord, and peripheral Nervous System (the body's computer).

11.) Please forgive our callous attempt at comedy to lighten a serious subject. When some of us see the upper cervical spine and it's C/A circles and the atlas "bow tie" in the middle...well you get the point? We can at least take the liberty to add a new pictorial concept (hexagons) to demonstrate our efforts and the Ancient Human Need. 

12.) Hexagons demonstrate the natural provision of a resting but at the same time dynamic alignment positioning during the perpetual neurological function of the brain stem adapting the human internal environment to the external environment that we live in. 

This resting (Hexagonal) structural positioning of alignment is of paramount importance to the functional integrity of the nervous system. 

This is WHY we do what we do in the detection, analysis, and safe correction of the Atlas Subluxation Complex. 

13.) Hexagons demonstrate an easy explanation of the need for alignment at the three upper cervical segments (C0-C1-C2) also known aptly as the Geometric Core of the Neuro Spine.

14.) A Hexagon configuration perspective may well stir the minds of some Biomechanical Engineers inside and outside our group for further exploration in the role they contribute to; perhaps even contributing to a metric aspect for the Optimal Atlas Subluxation Complex Reduction Pathway Vector. In other words the Hexagonal configuration may add something to the day to day solving of the Atlas Subluxation Complex correction; especially if its current difficulty of procedure can be reduced to a more widely usable method for the 7.5 billion people on earth who are in need of the Correction Service.

15.) Hexagons might well be also viewed as building blocks of Upper Cervical Neuro Integrity.

16.) While perhaps not necessary at this time, Hexagon 4 axis positioning may be measured in the future in relationship to the vertical axis standard. Think horizontal, frontal, and sagittal plane observations and / or objective measurements.

17.) Could Hexagon observations or measurements contribute to the assessment of the height vector or the rotation vector in the correction of the Atlas Subluxation Complex ? Time and research may tell,

18.) Said another way, what lies in wait for the future for a greater role to be played by the understanding of the Hexagonal configuration we see before us in our opening diagram on this web site.

19.) Clearly, as nature demonstrates here on our Earth and in outer space, in both static (e.g., bee hives and the north pole of Saturn) and dynamic (water crystals, snow flakes, plant cells, human cells, some snake skins, pineapple skin, and ocean waves) situations Hexagons are just some of the parts of the creators grand design). 

Further exploration may find more of this unique phenomena in nature. Even the mind of man has found it reliable to follow the hexagon configuration in the mechanical world by the use of Hexagon nuts and bolts; as well as many other man-made uses.

20.) Can it be explained why Universal Intelligence in this case has "mingled" function and structure to provide us Hexagons in what visually appears to be appropriately arranged in the Upper Cervical Neuro Spine?

21.) In the case of the UpC Neuro Spine the Hexagons present themselves as a fractal configuration; a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern in all people (perhaps even in some vertebrates).

22.) It is hoped that any new material or discoveries in the area of the Upper Cervical Neuro Spine and the Atlas Subluxation Complex Correction, would be disseminated to the world from whatever distribution sources are available, this C1Atlas.com website is available to be one such distribution channel. 

Hexagons deserve discussion.

Continual discussion of discovery and re-discovery is best amongst all of us; whether it be old, current, or new information such as the following:

a. Physical Exam Leg Check 

b. Student / Technician Educational Programs

c. Inline Imaging Equipment (current technology, improvements, and cost factors, etc.)

d. Worldwide Digital Imaging Centers 

e. Worldwide Internet Digital Imaging Analysis Centers 

f. International Seminar Centers 

g. Online Training: detection, analysis, and safe correction of the Atlas Subluxation Complex; and the math, physics, engineering and biomechanics pertinent to this work 

h. Online Doctor, Student, and Technician training for all aspects of UpC objective correction methods 

i. Public Outreach Programs (especially to youth, but including all people) via schools, lectures, videos, television, print, and internet 

j. Exploring the use of new discoveries in all aspects from Scanning Palpation to Pre/Post Alignment Procedure including secondary, tertiary, and quartenary vector correction re-assessments

k. ???...and what more can you suggest..???

HEXAGONS are an important part of the Educational aspect of the UpC Neuro Spine.

Let's hear about UpC in all of its components. Please contribute to the expansion of this C1Atlas.com web site.
