Nerves
from the brain go through the spine and out to every part of the body. The
spine significantly affects how organs throughout the body function. When the
spine is out of alignment, it can cause problems in other parts of the
body. Chiropractic care helps the immune
system to function properly, lowers blood pressure, and improves the body’s
ability to adapt to stress.
Headaches
“Research shows that spinal manipulation may be an effective
treatment option for tension headaches and headaches that originate in the
neck. A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University
Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found that spinal manipulation
resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in
the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of
tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.” American Chiropractic
Association
One of Dr. Thomas’s patients found
relief for a headache she had been suffering with for over a week. “I had a
headache for over seven days straight. After taking pain relievers and seeing
other health care providers, I came in to Vibrant Life Health Center desperate
for relief! Dr. Jon located my problem, adjusted it, and the headache was
gone!” Ramona said.
“Evidence suggests that chiropractic care, including spinal
manipulation, improves migraine and cervicogenic headaches.” The National Center for
Biotechnology Information.
Allergies

In
an article for General
Media Newspapers, Dr. Ira Shapiro wrote, “Although chiropractic care is not
normally associated with allergy relief or chronic sinus trouble, it offers a
profound and medically sound method for improving well-being and fending
against common, everyday afflictions. This is achieved through the release of
stress on the nervous system, which then permits the immune system to function
more effectively — a requirement for all allergy sufferers.”
Digestive Problems
Digestive
problems are rampant. Heartburn, abdominal pain, ulcers, nausea, diarrhea, and
indigestion have become so common that many people have simply accepted their
condition and are attempting to learn to live with it. Sometimes they turn to
remedies which actually complicate their problems. Recent studies have shown
that chiropractic adjustment can be very effective in the treatment of internal
organ disorders.
Every
cell, tissue, and organ in the body is controlled by the nervous system. Chiropractors
remove various forms of interference in the nervous system, allowing various
parts of the body to heal themselves naturally and without side effects. Maintaining
a healthy nervous system and spine is one of the keys to wellness throughout
the body.
“The
nervous system controls digestive function from several different regions. The
vagus nerve, which courses out of the brain stem and runs near the atlas bone
innervates all the major organs of digestion and functions to stimulate the
digestive process. Other major areas controlling the pace of digestion include
the sympathetic nerves coming out of the thoracic & lumbar regions and the
sacral parasympathetic nerve fibers. Spinal misalignment in any of these
regions can lead to neurological compromise and altered digestive function. Several
studies have demonstrated the power of chiropractic adjustments for restoring
optimal function in individuals with digestive disturbances.” Dr. David Jockers

To
find out how chiropractic can help with allergies, headaches, digestion, or
other health issues, call Vibrant Life Health Center today. You can set up an
appointment to receive the following services for free:
Posture AnalysisThe
Posture Analysis involves looking at the patient to see where any part of the
body is out of alignment. For example, the spine should be straight and the
head, shoulders, hips and feet should be lined up. Dr. Thomas will make note of
any abnormalities, including the following:
- Head is visibly tilted, shifted, or rotated in one direction
- Head is jutted out in front of chest and shoulders
- One hip is higher than the other, turned in one direction, or shifted to one side
- One shoulder is higher than the other, turned in one direction, or the whole upper body is shifted to one side.
Tytron Nerve Scan

The
Tytron Nerve Scan provides detailed information about where in the nervous
system any interference may be occurring. The Tytron accurately scans the full
spine or upper cervical area. The visual imaging available with the Tytron
shows the doctor and patient where the problems are. This enables the Vibrant
Life team to specifically address areas of concern.
Consultation with Dr. Thomas
In
a one-on-one consultation, Dr. Thomas will address any questions you may have
and will present you with treatment options to help you achieve your health and
fitness objectives.

Patient’s Story
Cheryl, the wife of a Vibrant Life Health
Center patient, writes, “The entire staff at Vibrant Life is professional,
welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. They put patients at ease. The office
has a sense of personality and warmth to it that is out of the ordinary for a
healthcare office! After three sessions with Dr. Thomas, my husband’s comfort
level and range of motion have changed dramatically. Simple tasks that were
grueling for him are now almost natural again.”

article, I have discussed some of the uses of chiropractic care in addition to
relieving back and neck pain. Chiropractic care is also very effective for
headaches, allergies, and digestive problems. I’ve also mentioned that new
patients can get complimentary Posture Analysis, Tytron Nerve Scan, and a
one-on-one consultation about their health.
