We are pleased to introduce Advanced Upper Cervical Migraines, pinched nerves, neck and shoulder pain, high blood pressure and hypertension.
Is it any surprise that thousands of people all over suffer from one or more of these symptoms? Even less surprising is the fact that few people in this city know that a simple, non-invasive solution could change their lives.
Like the mythical Atlas, balancing the world on his shoulders, our 2-ounce C-1 vertebrae, or atlas bone supports the entire human head which can weigh 9 to 17 pounds. The atlas is located directly under the head, connecting the head to the rest of the spine.
Because of its’ proximity to the brain and brainstem, the atlas must be aligned perfectly under the skull to ensure there is no pressure at the base of the brain. The atlas supports the weight of the head in the neutral or orthogonal position.
Atlas orthogonal is an engineering term referring to the position of the atlas being 90 degrees to the head and neck. Misalignment to the atlas can create pressure at the base of the brainstem leading to countless health problems including;
• sleep disturbances
• insomnia
• carpal tunnel
• irritable bowel
• headaches
• neck pain
• migraines * fibromyalgia
• multiple sclerosis
• lowback pain
• numbness and tingling
• depression
• attention deficit problems ADHD
* disc herniations
• sciatica
• chronic pain
• anxiety
• chronic fatigue
• stomach problems
• vertigo
So what could this mean to you? Just a few degrees of misalignment to your atlas could be the cause of a host of problems. Bumps, falls, stress, car accidents, sports injuries, even the birth process can misalign the atlas, however , a misaligned atlas is not likely to show up in most medical tests. The only way to know for sure is to have an upper cervical evaluation with Dr. Stauber.
