Hi [[leadFirstName]],

Have you ever seen an older person with a severe curve to their spine? You think that happened all at once? No way. That is what seventy or eighty years of cumulative vertebral misalignments looks like. You are seeing a lifetime of tiny, barely perceptible vertebral movements that have gone untreated.

Every vertebra is separated from its neighbors by soft discs of cartilage that act as ligaments holding your spine together. Your vertebrae float on these discs in order to provide flexibility to your spine. In other words, they can move. And as a result, they can sometimes slip out of their proper alignment.

Vertebral misalignments happen all the time and for a variety of reasons—taking a hard fall as a kid, getting “whiplash” from a fender bender, or just sleeping on your neck wrong. You might feel a misalignment when it happens, but then again you might not. The muscles around the area might feel sore at first, but muscles by their very nature are meant to adapt to resistance. (That’s why weight training works to build muscle mass!)

After a little time has passed, the muscles around the injured area will compensate for the new, incorrect position of the vertebrae. The soreness will lessen. Soon, you might be led to believe that whatever was wrong with your neck/back must have resolved itself and everything’s fine . . . until the next tiny misalignment happens and things get much, much worse.

A misalignment anywhere along the spine can put pressure on the spinal cord and affect the nervous system, but when it happens in the upper cervical area of your spine, the area of the atlas and the axis, that is when things get critical.

When the atlas and axis shift out of alignment, they can actually torque the brain stem itself, which puts direct pressure on your brain, disrupting the flow of messages to your central nervous system and affecting your body in a multitude of ways.

This can cause issues as minor as localized pain or numbness in the extremities, or it can cause severe chemical imbalances, reduced organ function, and disease.

The critical question is, can this problem be corrected?

Yes. And it’s pretty simple. We find out exactly where there’s a misalignment, and we gently move the vertebra back into its proper place. What I’ve just described is called a CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT.
