[@Dr.India1975]

Dear John, am doc and chiro but have been training other docs in allopathy and I can say you are the best trainer I have ever come across in internet. I have innovated many methods of teaching and I say you're a gem

After 3 cervical surgeries and have been fused C4-7 my crepitus is incredible. I've ruptured every disc when I had hit the bottom of a pool. 23 years later I had my first surgery in 2005 and last in 2015. Everything above the surgeries is painfully grinding. Thanks for the insight.

Hi John! Have you ever received feedback from your patients that this treatment has helped them to recover from their tinnitus?

[@JohnGibbons]

Not sure what research says about this and the effect on tinnitus, regards JG

[@TheBillaro]

Is there really actually something called a C1 Atlas lateral subluxation? were you attempting to demonstrate how you would corrects a lateral or a rotation dysfunction?

[@malka7777]

Thanks 🙏 and thanks. Can you please demonstrate and explain the oa joint?

[@JohnGibbons]

Will be adding one soon, regards JG

Dear john ,great video as usual . With repect to the pre-positioning of the atlanto-axial joint either for manipulation or mobilization in type 1 motion which is side bending to the same and rotation to the opposite , it is quite the same position that is utilised for the lower cervical complex , i.e. C2-C7. How can I definitively differentiate between specifically mobilising or manipulating the lower cervical complex and the AA joint? Many thanks

[@JohnGibbons]

Its about specificity of your hand placement - regards jG

Hi john If you had symptoms like these : Stretching sore under tounge Tickly cough Pressure in the nose and head Tingling down right arm and fingers Trouble swallowing Would that be c1 or c2 please? I am seeing a chiropractor but is taking time to get better😢

[@SimonBrisbane]

Amazing! Can you please do a video on manipulating the facet of T5-7?

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks - I have lots of videos on that technique - regards JG

[@deandre22]

I’m suffering from a pinched nerve in my C1/C2. It’s been over a month now with treatment. I wonder how long it’ll take to recover from this.

[@JohnGibbons]

No idea as each patient unique and quite rare to have nerve root issue at C1/2 - who diagnosed that pathology? Regards JG

[@ragedapeevo7560]

Of course you have no idea, because you're nothing but a con merchant. The only way to fix these problems is to train the surrounding muscles. Chiro is only temp relief. @@JohnGibbons

[@charismausa]

That’s absolutely my problem C1C2.

[@TheBillaro]

mine is subluxed

[@juanpablosegarralituma8677]

Master! Apreciate it.

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks - regards JG

[@brandoutmusic]

Great explanation as usual and glad you mentioned protecting the vertebral artery and doing the patency test. For the AA though, it only does a rotation motion and not sidebending. So wouldn't the thrust and Tx position be purely rotational and no sidebending? For ex: you can flex the neck 45 deg to lock out C2-7 then do a purely rotational force?

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks for the message and yes the way you mentioned would work well, regards JG

C1/C2 get adjusted far too often... Could you possibly show us the occiput adjustment, please? I appreciate it. Thank you

[@JohnGibbons]

Will add a video soon, regards JG

[@perapericpericic7045]

Bojim se da ne budem smešan, ali moram da pitam: da li je moguće sam sebi namestiti atlas 1. vratni pršljen? Sve to što pokazujete radim sam sebi. Stotine videa sam pogledao i Vi to radite najpreciznije! Zaključio sam da se Atlas pomeri između prvog i drugog pršljena, a ne između glave i prvog pršljena. Zbog toga prvo zabacim glavu što više nazad, zatim sa desne strane pritiskam drugi pršljen i glavu pokrećem prema desnom ramenu (uvo približavam ramenu), a zatim NE POPUŠTAJUĆI pritisam na 2. pršljen - okrećem glavu u osi vertikale prema levo. Tako uspem da vrstim pršljen na mesto, verovali, ili ne, posle toga mi nestane zamućenost vida i boje vidim boje. Problem je u tome, što mi se obično posle spavanja pršljen ponovo pomeri. Kada se izmesti pršljen to osetim čim se probudim, po vidu, po bolu, po tromosti ..

[@marijalagetar416]

I ja imam taj problem ,kako ste vi sada,drago mi kad vidjeh da netko piše na mom jeziku .Pozdrav

[@perapericpericic7045]

@@marijalagetar416 spektar problema imam, pre svega u glavi, a mislim da svi dolaze zbog poremećenog vratnog dela kičme i to najviše od 1. vratnog pršljena. Vrtoglavice, napade neizdržive vrtoglavice, bolove u vratu, potiljku, vilici, mučnine u stomaku. Uz te snažne napadd vrtoglavice koje traju sve duže, kreće i mučnina, panika .. užas. Najgore od svega je to, što sam neurološki dobro, verovatno zato što preglede kod neurologa prolazim kada većinu gore pomenutih problema nemam, ili se oni svode samo na stalne, svakodnevne i blage vrtoglavice kada mogu skoro normalno da se krećem .. Kakvo je Vaše zdravstveno stanje?

Thank You Master!Great Videó!

[@leesunlung]

5:10 how do you feel the lock?

[@JohnGibbons]

Takes a lot of time and effort to feel where the point of bind is prior to the manipulation - you need to be taught it by someone like me - regards JG

[@leesunlung]

@@JohnGibbons if you don’t feel the bind, does it means you can’t be manipulate?

[@Neetuagrahari9]

If Atlas is tilting up and forward on the left ear side with obviously Atlas on right sie more posterior. Will you only need to adjust the Atlas on the left ear side?

[@JesusSaves71185]

I’m a bit confused as to why you said he’s your friend and not a customer so you won’t hurt him by actually doing this maneuver… that’s a bit disturbing if this was perfectly safe then you should have been able to adjust and conversely if it’s not safe you shouldn’t be doing it…

[@JohnGibbons]

If I did the technique I wouldn't have hurt him - we had been filming all day so I adjusted his neck on another video - regards JG

[@perapericpericic7045]

Ovo jeste bezbedno dogod nema naglih pokreta i cimanja! Ne puca vrat tako lako, pri sporim pokretima, kao u filmovima.

[@theposturalproject]

It was a demonstration. If the patient/friend doesn’t need the HVT, you don’t do it.😃
