Misalignments in the Upper Cervical spine are unlike other injuries that can heal on their own. Moreover, they affect several body parts. For example, if you suffered from a sporting injury, a car accident, a whiplash, or a blow in the neck or head, the alignment of the topmost bones of your spine is likely affected.So how does the improper alignment of your topmost bones affect the lower part of your spine and lead to a pinched nerve in your back? This can happen when your atlas, the topmost bone, sets an improper alignment which can make the rest of the bones compensate. This usually occurs because these bones try to keep the head balanced and upright.The shift in the alignment can put undue pressure and stress on the bones, tissues, and surrounding muscles which can also irritate the nerves leading to pinched nerves symptoms that are difficult to ignore.
