  As a Board Certified Atlas Orthogonal Doctor of Chiropractic, I often read research related to my work and how it affects patients. The more that we know, the more specific our adjustments can be. The following article is related to cadaver dissections with specific emphasis on the soft tissue surrounding the occiput and upper cervical region.  Anatomy and clinical relevance of sub occipital soft tissue connections with the dura mater in the upper cervical spine Research presented by Rob Sillevis and Russell Hogg.

"When EWG analyzed 32 million water records from across the country, we were shocked at the results. Out of almost 50,000 utilities studied, 45,000 detected contaminants linked to cancer.

Our results are already making headlines, but you can take an in-depth look for yourself right now.
