Zone Healing Your Chiropractor can determine which Zones are involved in your case by feeling the Zone Points along the base of your skull. The tight or tender ligaments indicate which of the Health Zones are under stress and which vertebrae need to be adjusted. If a Zone Point is tight or tender, this indicates the associated Health Zone is still in the process of healing -- even though the more severe symptoms have diminished. Zone 1 - The Glandular Zone - Controls the Function of all the Glands of the Body
Vertebrae Adjusted: C1, T1, L1, S1 Hair, Skin, Appetite, Energy, Stomach, Memory, Kidneys, Thyroid, Adrenals, Temper, Concentration, Relaxation, Head Glands, Prostate, Elimination, Sleep, Ovaries, Digestion, Pelvis, Uterus
Zone 2- The Eliminative Zone - Controls all the Organs of Elimination Vertebrae Adjusted: C2, T3, T12, L2 Sinuses, Mucus, Throat, Nose, Lungs, Bronchial Tubes, Toxins, Kidneys, Elimination, Small Intestines, Colon, Bowel Movements, Abdomen Zone 3- The Nervous System Zone
Zone 4- The Digestive Zone - Controls all the Organs of Digestion & Assimilation Digestion, Foods, Appetite, Liver, Normal Weight, Assimilation, Stimulation, Intestines, Stomach Glands, Bowels, Elimination, Gall Bladder Zone 6- The Circulatory Zone - Controls Circulation Throughout the Body Blood Pressure, Heart, Ease, Stength, Blood Vessels, Back, Arms, Chest, Abdomen, Circulation, Lymph Vessels, Ease of Movement, Limbs, Relaxation, Thyroid Gland Your chiropractor works to restore your Health Zones to normal by locating and adjusting your spinal misalignments, thus reducing nerve pressure, restoring nerve flow, and reestablishing normal function and natural resistance to disease. As the cause of your condition is corrected, this allows the body to heal & regulate itself naturally -- without drugs or surgery. |

Chronic Migraines Helped by Chiropractic,
A study published in the February 2000 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, (JMPT), showed that people suffering with migraine headaches were helped with chiropractic care. The study was conducted in Australia at the Chiropractic Research Center of Macquarie University. In this research 177 volunteers were studied who had migraine headaches for over 18 years on average. Many of the participants also suffered from neck pain. The average response of the group that received chiropractic care showed a statistically significant improvement in migraine frequency, duration, and disability. The study also showed that those who received chiropractic care were able to reduce their medication use, with a significant number reducing their medication usage to zero!
Additionally, 59% had no neck pain after a period of two months, and another 35% had a decrease in neck pain. The researchers concluded this study, built on previous studies that had similar results. "There have now been several studies demonstrating significant improvement in headaches or migraines after chiropractic." The Migraine Foundation of Australia estimates that some 12 percent of Australians ages 15 and over, experience migraines. |

Worried About Swine Flu? Get To Your Chiropractor!Protect Yourself From Swine Flu
|
The Great Flu Pandemic of 1918 was the greatest plague of modern times. It is estimated to have killed between 25 million and 40 million people worldwide. History shows us that those under chiropractic care during the 1918 flu pandemic had a far better chance of survival. |
| Chiropractic care was most effective in saving lives! In 1919, Palmer published "The Flu and You." In this article he reported death statistics from the 1918 Flu Pandemic that showed that those people who were under chiropractic care had a far better chance of survival. Medical doctors in Davenport, Iowa, treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths ‑‑ in other words, 1 out of 15 under medical care succumbed to the flu. At the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, 1,635 people with the flu were adjusted, with only one fatality. Outside of Davenport, chiropractors adjusted another 4,735 flu cases, with only six deaths ‑‑ 1 out of 866. Medical care: 1 out of 17 died. Osteopathic care: 1 out of 36 died. Chiropractic care: 1 out of 886 Chiropractic’s health benefits are much greater than the relief of back or neck pain, it is whole-body health care. It emphasizes the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, and how that relationship affects function and health. Spinal misalignments (known as vertebral subluxations) can interfere with the transmission of information from the brain, over the spinal cord and/or nerve roots to any and all systems of the body. The resulting altered information produces altered function and lowered resistance. Call for an appointment today! 760-744-2744 What is the Swine Flu?
The Swine Flu is the newest form of influenza that everyone is worried about. Influenza is a viral infection that can be easily transmitted from person to person.
How would I get this flu? People usually get this flu because they were near someone who was infected that had coughed or sneezed near them or by touching a surface such as a door handle or grocery cart that is carrying the virus. Then they touch their face, eyes or mouth.
What are the symptoms? About one to four days usually elapse between the time a person is infected and the onset of symptoms. Influenza normally causes symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, headaches and body aches, fever, chills, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. Adults with severe illness may also have difficulty breathing, dizziness, confusion, or severe vomiting and diarrhea.
Here are 3 Strategies to help you and your family respond to the threat of the Swine Flu. 1. Hygiene- maybe one of the greatest advances of the industrialized nations was the change in the way sanitation and hygiene were practiced. Limiting our exposure to toxins both organic and inorganic makes sense. The body has a built in immune system, but sometimes that system can be overwhelmed. Frequent hand washing, especially when there has been contact with other people or with potentially contaminated surfaces can be very helpful.
2. Chiropractic- How can I protect myself from swine flu? Build your immune system! Get adjusted! Studies show that being adjusted twice a week can increase your immune system function by up to 400%. Limit the amount of sugar in your diet! Sugar depresses the immune system. Foods to avoid would be the added sugar to your coffee, soda, sweetened drinks, candy, alcohol and white flour products. Drink more water! Wash your hands frequently.
Use natural disinfectants like essential oils that fight viruses (eucalyptus lemon, lavender, tea tree oil are the most popular). To disinfect a room from the flu virus, you should buy a new plant sprayer, use warm but not boiling water inside the bottle, add 4+ drops of a oil listed above (your choice) per one cup of water, shake before each use and spray on hard surfaces throughout your house and use a clean rag to wipe down the surface. You can also disinfectant a room by spraying the mixture into the air. 3. Masks- no mask can provide a perfect barrier but products that meet or exceed the NIOSH N95 standard are thought to provide good protection. The rationale behind masks is to limit airborne secretions to stop the virus from spreading from person to person. The use of masks is not uncommon in the hospitals where the potential of infection can be greater in compromised patients. It would be unethical and potential deadly for a surgeon to operate without first washing their hands and using a mask.
