Hi [[leadFirstName]],

If you're like most people, you're under the impression that 100 percent of your brain was encased in your skull, right?

But in reality, a vital portion of it is housed in your upper cervical spine, encircled by the atlas and the axis.

We could literally change the entire world if we could just help people understand the importance of the question, “How’s your atlas?”

The medulla oblongata is the part of the brain stem that serves as the connection between the brain and spinal cord. It controls your heart rate, breathing, and many other nervous system functions. It also happens to be partially encased within your atlas.

A subluxated atlas puts physical pressure on the medulla oblongata, which is just part of the reason the upper cervical region is so important.

When one of those little bones is out of alignment, even by millimeters, it puts pressure on the brain stem. That is devastating to your body—and your mind. In addition to all the potential problems caused by interfered nerve flow, we also know that pressure on the medulla insula can manifest in the form of mental illness.

The atlas is the niche that chiropractic serves. It is the source of what we do. You could be a skinny vegetarian in perfect health, but if this little bone is out of alignment a millimeter or more, you’re screwed.

Given everything we’ve covered so far, you can understand why chiropractors like me get upset when we get reduced to the status of neck pain doctors or “back crackers.”

Chiropractic is about life! Because it doesn’t matter if you’re an Olympic athlete in the best shape of your life. If your atlas is subluxated, you are actively dying.

LIVE CLEAR,
