Breathing changes caused by atlas misalignment

Atlas misalignment can cause a multitude of health problems. But there are three main ways that an atlas misalignment can affect breathing. The first way has to do with compression of the cervical nerve roots. The saying goes “C3 C4 C5 keep the diaphragm alive.” When the Atlas gets misaligned the neck gets twisted and the cervical nerve roots can be affected. The second way the atlas affects breathing is by changing the posture throughout the rib cage. Just like the neck gets twisted, the entire spine also gets twisted with an atlas misalignment. This causes increased tension throughout the rib cage, at times making it more difficult to breathe. The third way breathing can be affected is due to the intimate relationship between the Atlas and the brainstem. The brain stem largely controls autonomic functions, including breathing. Atlas misalignment can put undue pressure on the brainstem affecting the body’s regulatory breathing mechanism. Be sure to get your atlas checked!
