The brainstem is protected by both your skull and your spine (more specifically the top two bones in your neck or your upper cervical region). When one of those top two bones gets misaligned it can put a lot of pressure on the brainstem, kind of like a headlock.

What does it take to misalign these bones?

• ...fall off a bike?
• ...bump into a wall or doorway?
• ...trip or fall?
• ...been in a car accident?
• ...play sports?
• ...roughhouse with friends?
• ...slip on ice?
• ...been hit in the head?

Once there is pressure on the brainstem it slowly loses the ability to communicate properly with the body. This condition is known as subluxation and is one of the most silent and dangerous killers of the body. It can occur as soon as birth or at anytime throughout your life. The longer it is present the more critical your health becomes.

This is why my "check engine" light came on. Is yours on?
