Atlas Vertebral Subluxation Complex

When the Atlas and/or Axis are out of their proper position, the head moves off center of the body. This creates body imbalance from head to toe. More weight shifts to one side of the body than the other. If these vertebrae are also rotated out of position, they can twist your entire spinal structure, including the pelvis, so that one leg becomes shorter than another. Not having your Atlas corrected to restore body balance is like continuing to drive a car that is misaligned. Your tires are going to wear out prematurely. You can keep replacing the tires, but unless you have the car aligned, you'll just be WASTING YOUR MONEY. The same thing is true for headaches or ADD or hundreds of other conditions that have been known to respond well to Upper Cervical Chiropractic. You can keep taking medication, but if your Atlas is out of its proper position and causing the problem, it's not going away until you get your Atlas corrected and body balance restored.

Neurological Interference of Brain Messages to Different Parts of the Body

The second serious result of an Atlas and/or Axis being out of position is the restriction or distortion of critical messages from the brain to all parts of the body. Every cell, organ or tissue that is not receiving adequate nerve energy and communication from the brain will suffer and degenerate. Example: Ball your hand into a fist. This represents your head. Extend your index finger as if you are pointing at someone. Your index finger represents your body. Take a rubber band and wrap it tightly around your index finger at the base of the finger where it is attached to your hand. The rubber band represents your Atlas which is wrapped around the spinal cord right near the brain stem and has moved out of its proper position. Wait a few minutes. Your entire finger begins to turn white and blue due to the circulation being cut off by the rubber band. You can massage your finger to restore circulation. You can inject a syringe with pain medication to stop the pain. In severe cases you can cut off the finger to erase the pain. However, only the symptoms of the problem have been addressed, not the cause. The rubber band is the cause. The same thing is true for an atlas that has moved out of its proper position. It can constrict or distort proper brain messages to organs and limbs throughout the body. Your feet may hurt or you may be having kidney problems, not the cause of the problem may not be in those areas at all but in your neck where misaligned Atlas is restricting or distorting brain messages to areas throughout the body. If your Atlas remains out of position for years, degeneration of organs, muscles, and cell tissue results. Over time, that could be serious, since in many conditions, PAIN IS THE LAST SYMPTOM to occur to indicate a problem exists.

Repositioning the Atlas Vertebrae of the spine begins the healing

The repositioning of the Atlas vertebrae is done by hand with a specialized vertical drop-table. A brisk thrust is given at the side of the neck as the Atlas is UN-LOCKED and neurological pressure is relieved from the brain stem and spinal cord. There is NEVER any twisting of the neck and/or cracking of the spine!
Patients are often surprised how fast the procedure takes, until over a period of time they feel their bodies changing in various areas. This procedure CURES NOTHING, it simply restores body balance and brain-to-body communication so that organs, muscles, and tissues can resume normal functioning. That is why we see many different conditions responding to the exact same procedure. However, too many of us wait too long to get our Atlas corrected. This is mainly due to IGNORANCE of the vital role of how the brain stem, spinal cord, and Atlas plays in the overall health of the entire body throughout life. It is becoming increasingly clear that parents should have their children’s Atlas examined as soon after birth as possible and have periodic Atlas checkups throughout their lives. Countless problems could be avoided entirely. A rightly positioned Atlas is so fundamental to good health, no matter the AGE, all individuals should get their Atlas examined now.
