The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal
cord, and nerves. The brain is divided into sections
and stores and receives an incredible amount of
information. The nervous system helps coordinate all
systems in your body.
But this information needs a way to get in and out.
Nerves provide a pathway for this information to
travel, and the spinal cord is made up of bundles of
these nerves that extend down from the brain. The
spine, or the series of bony vertebra, both houses
and protects the soft, sensitive nerves of the
spinal cord.
The atlas is a single, 2 oz.
doughnut-shaped vertebra at the top of the spine and
in most people surrounds the brain stem. Trillions
of nerve fibers from the brainstem travel through
the small opening in atlas and flow down into the
spinal cord.
Because of the smallness of the opening
and because of the atlas� close proximity to the
brain stem, if the atlas has moved out of position
even a fraction of a degree, very serious
interference of nerve function can result. This is
the problem.
This is true for an atlas that
has moved out of its proper position. It can
constrict or distort proper brain messages to organs
and limbs all throughout your body. This is because
all but 12 sets, out of millions of nerves, pass
through your brain stem and spinal cord.
If your atlas remains out of
position for years, degeneration of tissue results.
Over time, that could be serious, since in many
conditions,
pain is the last symptom to occur to indicate
a problem exists.
