My son woke up with a stiff neck, we took him to our family Chiropractor that adjusts atlases as well as the rest of the body all the time.

He took an x-ray of my sons neck and then we saw his C1 vertebrae fused to either his skull or something around it. He is a very active little boy and we have been told he can not do any contact sports.

He had 3 bad falls as a baby, not sure if this was from that or if it is a congetital thing. We are going to be seeing the doctor this Friday. Our Chiropractor is having some MRI specialists read the X-Ray and hopefully plan to talk about it this Friday.

I'm so sad for him and so worried about him, concerned about where this is going, about how it will change his life and what he likes to do. Concerned about how serious this really is and can be. 

Does anyone have insight on this.
