WHAT IS THE ATLASPROFILAX® METHOD?
The AtlasPROfilax® method is a technique that allows the
architectural reconfiguration of the musculoskeletal system at
ligamentous and osteomuscular level, in particular the
neurovascular structures linked to the craniospinal junction
(brain stem, medulla oblongata and dura matter) activating
thus a self-healing process.
René-Claudius Schümperli was born in Zurich, Switzerland, in
1940. After many years of study he made the discovery that in
the vast majority of human beings the first cervical vertebra,
atlas, has a greater or lesser degree of malrotation in
relationship to its natural joint. As a result of this, a condylar
compression syndrome arises.
This syndrome alters morphological structures within
the skull. If the compression alters the jugular
foramina where the cranial nerves IX, X and XI are
travel, abnormalities of speech and swallowing can
occur, as well as orthostatic hypotension, stiff neck,
recurrent muscle spasms in the neck and atrophy or
motor problems at tongue level. If the compression
occurs at the foramen of the skull (foramen magnum) the pressure on the vertebral and spinal
arteries increases resulting in dizziness, vertigo, vertebrobasilar migraine, insomnia and attention
deficit.

CAUSES OF MALROTATED ATLAS
The malrotation of the atlas and the condylar compression syndrome may have different etiologies.
Among them:
� A presumable genetic component in embryonic development from a probable alteration of
homeotic genes.
� Obstetric trauma during the phase of labor.
� Inflammation of the dural membrane resulting from the use of forceps.
� Caput succedaneum or serosanguineous extraperiosteal fluid collection in the scalp of
newborn by the use of suction.
� Prone position before the fourth month of life.
� Contusion of the maxilla or occiput.
� Injuries and contusions that cause hydraulic pressure changes within the skull.
� Narrowing of the occipital condyles as a result of accidents.
� Whiplash.
� Rheumatoid arthritis.
� Transmission membranous tension forces due to lumbosacral or coccygeal impact.

ORIGIN AND APPLICATION OF THE ATLASPROFILAX® METHOD
This discovery was made for the first time in history between 1993 and 1996 resulting in the
AtlasPROfilax® technique that is practiced today all around the world.
The malrotated atlas discovery of R.-C. Schümperli: The rotation of the
atlas causes a narrowing of the opening in the skull (foramen magnum)
and the spinal canal causing entrapment of the bulbo-medullary junction,
causing a permanent interference in the central nervous system.
In turn, because of the malrotated atlas, the vertebral arteries, in normal
conditions make a loop of 90 degrees to enter through the hole in the
skull, are compressed and partly forced to change their angle of entry,
which is why this situation evokes fluctuations in the levels of oxygenated blood to the brain that
manifest in the form of nerve pain, spasms, migraines, headaches, vertigo, sleep disorders and
attention deficit.
In addition, this distorts the proper alignment of all the vertebrae because
the anchor of the head (occipital hinge) with the axis (second vertebra) is
unstructured in its seat. This causes the body to try to compensate this
problem mechanically with the appearance of vertebral misalignments of
the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions, which will transfer to the sacrum,
and therefore, hip, knees, ankles and feet. This mechanical disintegration
caused by the atlas could explain diseases such as idiopathic scoliosis or
herniated discs.

WHAT IS THE ATLASPROFILAX® METHOD?
The AtlasPROfilax® method consists in the successful repositioning
of the atlas vertebra (C1) without rough or aggressive handling or
traction.
This therapy does not pose any health risk because the mechanical
vibration is tailored to each patient depending on their age, height,
weight and health.
The AtlasPROfilax® method is safe and has proven effectiveness in
a variety of ailments. It also has no contraindications or negative
side effects nor does it interact with treatments or medications. The method is not a chiropractic
manipulation or sudden movement of the neck.
The method is performed only once in life in two sessions, the relocation of the atlas and a
subsequent follow up. The approximate duration of therapy is 30 to 45 minutes including briefing,
anamnesis, kinesiological tests and anthropometric measurements for therapy application and
implementation of it.

SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON THE VALIDITY OF THE METHOD
The Diagnosticum Radiology Institute is one of the most advanced medical centers in Germany. The
Institute belongs to the German University of Witten-Herdecke (Universität Witten / Herdecke.
Alfred Herrhausen-Straße 50/ 58448 Witten / Germany) led by Dr. Martin Butzlaff and Eckart Hahn.
With over 25 years of history, the MRI has the most sophisticated technologies for the diagnosis and
prevention.
One goal of the Diagnosticum is early diagnosis of
diseases to prevent their occurrence, development
and chronicity. It has a multidisciplinary team of
physicians. The radiologist and neurosurgeon Dr.
med. Seibel led a complete radiological study on the
scope of the malrotation of the atlas and
effectiveness of the AtlasPROfilax® method.
The highlighted research areas of the Diagnosticum Radiology Institute are Radiology Surgery,
Minimally Invasive Therapy, led operations imaging, Radiology Development of tools for Surgical
and Minimally Invasive Therapy, development of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance
Transactions, RM Machinery Development, Systems Development Operations of the Future,
Telemedicine and Teleteaching.

The study done in the Diagnosticum Institute
proved that there is a malrotation of the atlas of
probable congenital or prenatal origin in terms of
rotation and tilt, as well as the effectiveness of the
AtlasPROfilax® method for the correction of the
atlas.
114 patients were studied for 5 years with 3D CT
(computed tomography) with several scans for
imaging by the latest machines of Phillips and
Siemens. The patients underwent 3D imaging scans before and after the AtlasPROfilax® treatment.
The study was conducted without regard to race, sex or age and lasted for 5 years during which
following procedure was used:
1. Examination of the cervical area of the patient with RX, MRI and 3D CT prior to therapy
AtlasPROfilax®.
2. Valuation of images from various angles and comprehensive analysis of the region C0-C1-
C2.
3. Performing the AtlasPROfilax® therapy.
4. With X-Rays, MRI and 3D CAT scans after the applicaton of the AtlasPROfilax® technique.
5. Comparison of images obtained "pre" and "post" therapy and completion of each case.

Scientific findings showed by the imaging study were as follows:
1. Before the treatment (in the examined cases) a malrotation of the atlas and a tilt of
the head to the side were found in more than 98% (112 patients out of 114).
2. After the treatment the atlas and malrotation and tilting of the head were corrected
effectively.
3. In subsequent reviews the atlas maintained its correct position.
4. These results opened the door to further scientific research on larger scales not only
radiological, but the clinical implications of AtlasPROfilax® therapy in many diseases
as well.

VALIDATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES
The Mexican radiologist, Noemi Laguna MD, graduated as
medical doctor and radiologist from the UNAM University in
Mexico, performed a study on over 252 patients from 2013
to 2014. The study evaluated the premises of the
Diagnosticum Institute determining the degree of real
maltroation and tilting of the atlas before and after the
treatment and the effectiveness of the AtlasPROfilax®
method in improving the position of the atlas bone in
relationship to C0 and C2 structures.
Noemí Laguna MD, was working for many years for the
Mexican Government, occupying different high positions in
the Health Department and in various hospitals and
Government Departments. Since 2012 she owns a private
clinic in the Morelos state in Mexico.
