The Kerr Collar: A Missing Piece Of Equipment That Absorbs Football Collisions

For the past two decades, Dr. Patrick Kerr has dedicated himself to treating necks, specifically how the head aligns to the first bone in the neck (known as the atlas). He’s utilized a procedure called Atlas Orthogonal during this practice, which is a specialty in Chiropractic. It’s worth noting, there’s an instrument that allows him to adjust the atlas into its proper alignment at a very critical area in the spine, where the head joins the spine.

Through these years, though, Dr. Kerr informs SportTechie that he’s learned that the misalignment of the head on the atlas can give a person an array of different symptoms.
