The first bone that you have in your neck is known as the Atlas or the C1. It is a bone which looks like a ring and it is located at the junction point where the neck and the head meet.

The second bone that you have in your neck is known as the Axis or the C2. The combination of both Atlas as well as the Axis is called upper cervical spine. They are close to the central nervous system of the brain of yours as it is called as the brain stem. It does virtually coordinate with all the parts of the body which are vital for the proper functioning of the body.

If there is any kind of damage caused to the connective tissues due to any type of injuries or the accidents, there is a probability of misalignment of the Atlas and the Axis and it can get locked in a position which is not normal and is stressed.

This can result in increase in the pressure, irritation, tension, a little bit of disruption in the flow of blood and also in the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid. This might also result in the distortion of posture in the lower spine.

If it gets struck in that position for a very long period of time then it is going to cause health problems slowly with time. The spinal misalignment symptoms might be seen after 10 to 15 days.

Now let me give you the list of atlas misalignment symptoms.
