Atlas Subluxation
About Atlas Subluxation Complex:
(C-1 Vertebrae Misalignment)
What
do headaches, muscle pain, depression, fatigue. dizziness, ringing in
the ear, allergies, and high blood pressure have in common? All are
symptoms of misalignment of the C-1 (Atlas Vertebrae). This
vertebrae is connects the brain stem and spine, and therefore is rich in
nerve endings that communicate and send messages to the entire body.
That is why when the C-1 is not properly aligned, it is possible to
experience a wide variety of physical and emotional symptoms. 
The nervous system is the master control of all systems of the body, and communications must be unrestricted in order for the brain to be able to diagnose the body’s needs. Imbalance in this system can result in energy blockages which can then become an underlying cause of illness. The proper adjustment of C-1 can remove interference to normal nerve function and create an an environment of health and healing in the body.
The diagnosis and treatment is rather simple: A chiropractor who is specially trained in either the NUCCA System (National Upper Cervical Association) or other similar protocol, will do a visual exam as well as a series of neck x-rays to determine if treatment is required. The treatment itself is fast, painless, and very gentle, consisting of very light pressure applied to the neck/ear area. People often comment that they "didn't feel a thing." But the results are generally very apparent, often with an immediate relief in symptoms.
The number of treatments you will need depends on many factors, including the type of condition you have, how long you have been subluxated, your general health, and how long the adjustment holds its restored position.
