As a Redwood City Nucca Chiropractor, we use a number of techniques and services to give you the best care possible- based on our judgment and years of experience.

The atlas is the first bone in your spine. It receives the weight (8-14 pounds) of your head and transfers it evenly into your neck and shoulders. Good balance in the head and neck results in good pelvic balance. Good pelvic balance is essential for lower back comfort.

More severe misalignments will result in shoulder and arm pain often accompanied with numbness and tingling into the hands and fingers. A shift of the head away from the midline of the body will cause a shift of your pelvis, which may in turn cause bulging of low back discs. Lower back pain and stiffness is caused by tilt, rotation, or both in the pelvis. Left uncorrected, symptoms of leg pain and sciatica can develop.

In addition to aches and pains of muscular origin caused by postural distortion, the Atlas Subluxation Complex and its Syndrome can produce neurological disorders. Equilibrium, respiration, heart and digestive function are all directly related to the position of your skull and atlas.
