Principles

  1. The atlas supports the weight of the head most efficiently in an orthogonal (90 degree) position. This orthogonal position refers to the atlas being 90 degree to the center of the head and the cervical spine.
  2. If the head and neck are not orthogonal, imbalance occurs as the body shifts and distorts with compensatory adaptation resulting from atlas subluxation. (signs and symptoms of upper cervical/atlas distortion.
  3. Compensatory changes include: pain and nerve disturbance from nerve irritation, postural shifts, reduced of painful range of motion, and muscular spasm or imbalance. These compensatory changes lead to compromised health and countless serious health conditions.

Body Imbalance Resulting From Atlas Subluxation

These compensatory changes lead to compromised health and countless serious health conditions:

  • Postural Distortion
  • Restricted or Painful Range of Motion
  • Abnormal Spinal Curvature
  • Muscular Tension and Imbalance
  • Bilateral Weight Difference
  • One Leg Shorter Than the Other
  • Spinal Decay Resulting From Long-Term Unresolved Structural Distortion

Dr. David Asks some important questions of interest to Asheville residents - Chiropractor Asheville Dr. David Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Asheville chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
