About
The Atlas of Life is a blog dedicated to the science, philosophy, and art of chiropractic. It is updated 7 days a week / 365 days a year by Dr. Brandon Harshe and his wife January Harshe.
Chiropractic is the science, philosophy, and art of restoring nervous system function, thereby allowing clear communication between the brain and the body.
The brain stem controls all communication between the nervous system and the body. Most people do not realize this includes the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, pain sensitivity, and consciousness among other things.
Most people think of chiropractic simply as back pain relief. Of course, the stereotypical Yellow Pages ad of the man wincing in pain, supporting his arching lower back as cartoon-esque lightning bolts shoot out don’t help the chiropractic image either.
Sure, chiropractic alleviates pain. But at its core, chiropractic is about restoring proper function to the nervous system. This is done by removing interference in the form of a bony misalignment of the C1 or C2 vertebra, located near the brain stem. This is referred to by chiropractors as a vertebral subluxation.
