Burcon Chiropractic Research Institute Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractor The first cervical vertebra is called atlas because it has a difficult job.

With Burcon Chiropractic in Grand Rapids, MI you are choosing to embark on a journey of healing that centers around the central nervous system and the axial skeleton. The head, which weighs as much as a bowling ball, rests on top of atlas, which only weighs a few ounces. Atlas is also called the “yes” bone because your head rocks back and forth on its two articulations when you nod yes. When the skull slips partially off from one of these joints, pressure is applied to the brain stem, causing you to be “off your rocker!” We invite you to “get
your head on straight” at Burcon Chiropractic, where we specialize in difficult neurological cases, like Meniere's disease and Trigeminal neuralgia with a 97% success rate.

About the Research

According to Dr. Burcon of Burcon Chiropractic, the clinical trial builds upon years of observational data examining possible correlations between prior head or neck trauma and the later onset of Meniere’s symptoms.

The study focuses on evaluating structural and neurological factors at the cranio-cervical junction using upright MRI imaging and upper cervical analysis.

Chlorophyll Vs. Hemoglobin 🩸

The major difference is that plant blood carries a Magnesium (Mg) molecule where our blood contains a Iron (Fe) molecule.

Magnesium is what is responsible for making plant blood green, and iron is what makes our blood red.

I thought I understood drop attacks until I had one, on a ladder, at 67 years of age.
