WHAT IS THE ATLAS
The ATLAS BONE is the very top vertebra of the spine, also known as The first cervical bone, C1.
Some chiropractic schools up until the 1960´s only taught techniques on C1 and C2 because it changes so many things.
The Atlas bone is fundamental to the plural system ie, the membrane that covers the brain.
Atlas problems
- neck pain
- headache
- dizziness
- detached feeling
- low back pain
A careful neurological, orthopaedic and chiropractic exam is needed if the atlas is misaligned. X-rays may sometimes be required.
Treatment includes precise adjustment without excessive force.
