Rockford Chiropractor - Minding the Atlas

While travelling in England, you can be sure of two things - you must look to your RIGHT before crossing the road, and you must pay attention to how you step around and onto things. The ubiquitous sign in the rail system is "Mind the Gap," which simply reminds us to think about where we are stepping.

I have tweaked this image to remind ourselves that success and failure in health care actions we take hinges on how well the atlas subluxation complex has been reduced, corrected and maintained.

We may find that the NUCCA correction has helped us to heal over time from sleep problems, high blood pressure and digestive disorders, but that the headaches remain. Does that mean we abandon our efforts to maintain the central nerve system integrity? No, it means we look at other elements to find out what else might be causing the headaches (or back pain, or leg pain). Sometimes, quitting a bad habit, like smoking or drinking, is all that needs to be done. Sometimes a nutritional protocol is indicated, or even another procedure that requires a referral.

But we must never overlook the importance of the atlas. Your highest expression of life depends on it!
