Thumbs Up to Relief
Many people go to a chiropractor because they are in pain. In this first phase of care, the main goals are to assess your problem and reduce your symptoms.
The Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Doctor has advanced training in the structure, function and bio-mechanics of the very top spinal vertebrae of the upper cervical spine (just under the skull).
The balance of the human body is maintained by the precise interaction of the muscles and nervous system, which permit the skeleton to move and flex in an unrestricted manner. Much of the complicated system of nerves is housed and protected by the spinal vertebrae.
Ironically, these same spinal vertebrae when not moving properly, are often the underlying cause of our bodies organ and system disease, pain, and loss of mobility. When the vertebrae are out of alignment, the condition is referred to as Subluxation.
Since the human body is called upon to function largely in an upright position, its spinal column must be able to support its ever shifting weight as the body walks, runs, lifts and bends.
A “normal” curve of the spine is admirably suited to the task of comfortably keeping the body’s center of gravity properly positioned over its supporting legs. When the spine is curved abnormally because the spinal vertebras have slipped out of proper alignment (even by the smallest degree) profound consequences occur which may, if left untreated, affect the health of the entire body, This is especially true when misalignment occurs in the neck (cervical spine).
Even though the doctor of Chiropractor specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions, the care of the affected area often results in dramatic improvements in the patients health of other parts of the body, not generally thought of as being associated with the spine.
