An Atlas subluxation is a misalignment of the upper most neck bone named after the Greek God Atlas, in that Atlas holds up the world in the same way that your first neck bone Atlas holds up your world as in your head.  

An Atlas subluxation put simply is a misalignment between the skull above and the second neck bone (Axis) below, due to a slip, fall, accident, or injury.  

The Atlas misalignment will then clog the opening through which nerves, blood vessels, and CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) will pass interfering with flow, function, and communication back and forth between the brain and the body. 

The Atlas subluxation will remain stable in its abnormal misaligned configuration slowly causing spinal damage and health problems over time.  On average it is 10-15 years before symptoms start showing up from an Atlas subluxation.
