🚨 What Happens When the Atlas Is Misaligned?
When the Atlas shifts—even slightly—it can irritate the brainstem and create what we call neurological facilitation.
In simple terms:
➡️ The nervous system stays stuck in a high-distress signal.
This can lead to:
- Lowered pain tolerance
- Widespread muscle and tissue pain (fibromyalgia)
- Increased stress sensitivity
- Headaches
- Sleep problems
- Digestive issues
Why digestion?
Because cranial nerve #10—the vagus nerve—comes directly off the brainstem, and it innervates the entire gastrointestinal tract.
This is why Atlas issues are often connected to:
- IBS
- Crohn’s disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Colic and constipation in babies Atlas
