Consequences of compression of the vagus nerve
Depending on the kind of compression and how far the Atlas is shifted from its optimal position, pressure marks may be created, thus irritating the vagus nerve and/or other cranial nerves. This can give rise to various complaints, such as headache, Ménière's syndrome, difficulty in swallowing or the sensation of a lump in the throat, excessive perspiration, neck pain, sleep disturbances, generally cold hands or feet, irregular or accelerated heart rate, or chronic constipation or diarrhea with no apparent cause.The correction of a misaligned Atlas may also have positive effects on epilepsy. The approach of conventional medicine to treating severe epilepsy is to cut the left vagus nerve surgically in the upper cervical area or to implant an electrical impulse generator in order to stimulate this nerve. The left vagus nerve is normally compressed by the Atlas. Could this be a coincidence? The question merits further attention and a more thorough investigation.
