What Is A Subluxation & What Does It Do To Me?
In simplest terms, a subluxation is when one of the top 2 neck bones Atlas or Axis has misaligned the point that pressure and/or irritation will occur at the brain stem level. The brain stem is the switch board operator between the brain and the body it controls and coordinates everything in the body. Every nerve in the body must meet and travel throught the brain stem. Where the brain stem ends the spinal cord begins; the spinal cord is simply a bunch of phone cables going back and forth telling the body what to do. Everything is controlled and coordinated out of the brain stem.
How does this affect you? If you have a misalignment of Atlas or Axis putting pressure on your brain stem it does two things. First is it prevent the brain from properly communicating with your body. Second is mechanically this alters your center of gravity. When your head goes off center your spine MUST compensate below; so it creates abnormal curvatures within the spine to compensate.
Your brain stem controls and coordinates all functions within the body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over these nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function properly. In other words, some part of your body will not be working correctly.
