Subluxation can prohibit muscles, joints, and organs from getting crucial messages from the brain. Misalignment of the atlas affects the rest of the spine and body.
Think of the spine like a chain - if the first link is twisted and turned, each link down the line also turns slightly, thereby disrupting the entire chain. Consider the atlas the first and most important in the chain. In this way, even low back and leg pain may be directly related to an atlas subluxation because of the chain effect.
Essentially, if the head is not on straight, the spine can not possibly be straight so a subluxated atlas can affect the entire spine!
