Very welcome Katson. I see an orthogonal chiropractor. They never crack necks. Instead they use this thingy that shoots sound waves to adjust the actual atlas when it is out. I feel it immediately and it also has shown up on x-rays. My atlas was quite out when I first went to him and then went the whole other direction (out) when I also had whiplash. Since they did surgery my neck rarely goes out. Actually hasn't since right after. It is stabalized with the metal plate now which is good, but tension builds, now, in my upper back between my shoulder blades pretty bad and my lower back is very sensitive. I had just a percutaneous discectomy at L5-S1 long ago which just sucked out the mushy grey gunk that had become my disc so not much is left and now there is bulging a higher level up (so 3 levels up). L-3 is now torn, too, after the wreck. But I had a mild scoliosis before any of it already which is probably what made me more delicate and vulnerable to getting hurt. Still, I'm straighter now than I have been for decades. I use to have a pelvic obliquity, one shoulder was visibly higher than the others,etc. etc. When the atlas is out it causes the rest of the body to have to compensate.

I'm sorry you're suffering like this. Did you indicate being in a wheelchair? Personally sitting is the hardest thing I do and couldn't do that. I carry around a chair pad with me everywhere. Don't know what it looks like to others, but I need it for survival so have gotten past worrying about how it looks.
