A Gentle Art - Part 2 with Dr. Keith Lavender

Dr. Keith Lavender, a chiropractor specializing in Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic care, explains the significance of proper alignment between the head and neck in maintaining overall spinal health. Misalignment of the atlas, the first cervical vertebra, can cause compensatory shifts throughout the body, leading to discomfort such as neck, back, shoulder pain, and even issues with posture and mobility. Dr. Lavender highlights the importance of small stabilizer muscles in spinal function and how misalignment can impede muscle coordination, increasing the risk of injury. He advocates for non-invasive chiropractic techniques to correct misalignments and restore proper nerve function.
