Your Chiropractor in Garwood, NJ.

Where we strive to help you heal from the inside out. What is the Atlas Bone? The cervical spine (neck) contains 7 bones or vertebrae labeled C1-C7. The C1 vertebra, known as the Atlas, is the first bone in the spinal column. It’s named Atlas, after the Greek Titan who was condemned to hold up the world on his shoulders. More than just a foundation for support, the atlas bone is perhaps the most important vertebrae of the body. In the myth, Atlas must be careful to hold the world still and strong at all times, or everything would come crashing down. Your Atlas vertebrae has been charged with the same task- it must hold your head strong and still, otherwise problems with alignment will develop and affect the entire spine below. If there is a misalignment in the atlas bone, many other issues or conditions may develop. Schedule your appointment for the doctors to check your atlas bone today.

Chiropractic Care for Kids

Chiropractic care for children is a gentle and safe way to address a variety of health concerns that may arise during infancy. Some parents may seek chiropractic care for their babies to help with issues such as colic, reflux, difficulty breastfeeding, or sleep disturbances. Chiropractors who specialize in working with infants use very gentle techniques, such as light touch and massage, to align the baby’s spine and improve overall function of the nervous system. These techniques can also be used to help babies who have experienced birth trauma or have a misshapen head due to positioning in the womb. A child’s nervous system is the controller and regulator of all of the other systems in the growing body. Stress and misalignment of the spine can have serious impacts on your child’s overall health, behavior and development. Atlas chiropractic wellness center is a clinic that offers gentle and non-invasive therapy that works to correct underlying issues before they become hard-wired in during development, providing support for a pain-free and successful childhood that carries over to adolescence and adulthood.
