With Burcon Chiropractic Research Institute 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 first cervical vertebra is called atlas because it has a difficult job. 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. MISSION STATEMENT: Burcon Chiropractic strives to provide the most specific, thorough and effective upper cervical specific chiropractic care in Western Michigan.
We also offer CranioSacral therapy and medical massage. Our goal is to find and correct your problem in as few visits as possible. Whiplash is most commonly associated with rear-end car collisions in which the heads of those in the front car are suddenly snapped back and forth by the impact.
