My wife's Mri results from a few months ago, although her condition wasn't as bad at all...

BTW, Seeing as it is impossible for my wife to be assessed by you, I was wondering if you know any practitioner in the UK who is as savvy as you about muscle imbalance and tortipelvis etc. I would like someone professional to deal with the spasms if I can find one once Dr. Grant gives it the OK. Tha...

I wish I could give you more. The only xrays I could provide would be off Dr Grant. In the UK we are not given our xray or mri films although I have been told they cant refuse you, they do! I have only the mri findings when she wasn't as bad which I sent you. Although in all honesty the medical syst...

Thanks for that again. I've just been ringing around London Osteopaths and the general verdict is that I should not be doing any form of massage for fear of putting her in more spasm and none of them of heard of a reaction like hers. So confused, cant get anybody to see her and dont want to make the...

Thanks for that Doctor Flanagan, I didn't realise until this weekend just how bad the pelvic torsion is that my wife has been left with! I was looking at her from the side and her right hip really is set a lot in front of the left. I have been doing massage, which she finds extremely painful, but wo...

Just found this and it seems to explain a little of what may have happened Dr Flanagan. Have you heard of this before? The Lovett Brother Relationship A bio mechanical state, namely the Lovett Brother Relationship, describes the skeletal reciprocity between paired bones of the cranium, pelvis and sp...

But a torticollis does not explain only her skull being pulled over and not her lower jaw with it does it? She has a very serious jaw misalignment now. her neck is straight but her skull tips right over. Very, very complicated. Torticollis has been ruled out by many chiropractors already. And why wo...

Still trying to get to the bottom of what has happened to my wife. I know you said the sacrum cant move, but what the osteo did was to put my wife on a slant. He shortened one leg and lengthened the other quite a lot. Could this not be why her her head/atlas have done what they have? Her pelvis is s...

Thanks again for your input. It is so sad that by the sounds of it I will never get my once fit and happy wife back for the sake of something so avoidable. Why this man didnt stop his treatment when it went wrong instead insisting he could sort it is beyond me. I'm too angry for words.

So, Dr Flanagan, this is my last post for now hopefully.

To summarize do you believe it was purely spasm that has exaggerated the atlas subluxation, and the atlas subluxation is what is keeping her in spasm now?

Thanks Steve

I hear what you are saying Dr Flanagan, and I have spoken to many chiropractors who say they are unfamiliar with osteopathic pelvic techniques. How he did it was to push with force the crest of the pelvis and you could hear it crack as it moved. He did this both sides several times in a couple of vi...

Exactly Dr Flanagan. It makes no sense to us either. All I can assume is that her initial problems were descending and he has treated her the wrong way around. Dr Grant has seen the twist in her neck muscles and said it is all relevant to the position of the atlas. They are running down one side of ...

Sorry, I'm back again! Can I just ask one more question and then I will leave you in peace! I actually saw the muscles of her neck twisting diagonally and it was an awful thing to witness. This happened after the pelvis was rotated for the last time. As her pelvis was moved, her neck and head was al...

Thanks for replying again. Dr Grant has advised against doing any other method of treatment feeling it might be too much for her to handle at the moment. But if you were able to treat her where would you start and with what method. I know you haven't seen her but I think you have a fair idea whats g...

Hi again Dr Flanagan. I just wondered if I could pick your brain for more advice please. My wife has seen Dr Heidi Grant and is under treatment for a severely misaligned atlas. It shows her head is literally tipping off laterally to a very large degree, with rotational issues and now shows a complet...
