Is Your Head On Straight
The atlas bone is located at the top of the spine and like the greek titan it is named after, holds the weight of the world. Or at least your world. Most people give very little thought to this bone until it turns their world upside down. If they’re lucky, they get to see a chiropractor who specializes in correcting problems at this level. Unfortunately, the majority of people see specialist after specialist and run the gamut of expensive testing with no relief and no answers to what is causing their problems.
So what can happen when the atlas bone is misaligned? Severe migranes, vertigo, hearing loss, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, high blood pressure…. The list goes on and on. The close relationship of the brain stem, cranial nerves and arteries and the atlas accounts for the wide range of effects this misalignment can have on the body.
It is very gratifying to be able to provide relief to someone who has been suffering for often times many years or even decades, however my sadness is echoed by the medical doctor below who has realized what chiropractors have always known.
“I am saddened by the thousands, and probably millions, of patients that have problems that could be helped by Chiropractic care, but don’t know that it exists. We want every single patient we have under care to have their spine examined by a Chiropractor. If the alignment is wrong, the nerve system is not going to work well no matter how good their nutrition is, they are not going to be able to assimilate that nutrition sufficiently. The majority of cancer cases we see have overt cervical spinal problems, even the ones who don’t have a history of spinal trauma.”
Dr. Nicholas Gonzales, MD, Immunologist, Cancer Specialist
Far to few medical doctors have ever been exposed to this information. Lack of awareness and years of past differences between the professions continues to serve as a barrier to patients receiving the appropriate care for this correctable condition. While it can be corrected by very specific chiropractic adjustments, the process often takes a considerable amount of time to become stable. Years of imbalance become ingrained in the musculature, creating patterns that the body does not easily relinquish. A regime of frequent adjustments in the initial phase of care allows the body to begin to accept the changes that are being created and develop new, more balanced patterns of proper alignment.
As the structure is returned to its proper alignment, the proper function also returns. As a rule of thumb, the longer the problem has been present, the longer it will take to correct. However, most people that have had a misalignment of the upper neck notice an almost immediate difference.
