The Circulatory Zone and Zone Technique in Woodstock, GA

Chiropractic Care In Woodstock, GA

Subluxations are when a bone in the back (vertebra) is out of place, causing interference in how the spine functions and with the nerves exiting that spinal level. These nerves go to organs, glands, and muscles, so if these nerves are not functioning properly, these organs, glands, and muscles don’t get the proper communication or healing energy from the brain.

Most times in our office, we locate subluxations using the Zone Technique. Each Zone has four vertebrae associated with it, so by adjusting each of those bones with chiropractic adjustments, the Zone is balanced, and we eliminate the subluxations.

Research has shown that the brain is most open to change (neuroplastic) for up to 20 minutes after your adjustment. To take advantage of this and exponentially amplify the adjustment’s power, we have you sit on a Zero-Gravity chair while lying on an earthing/grounding mat. 90% of our brain’s energy focuses on holding us upright against gravity. Being in zero gravity allows the brain to focus primarily on other tasks, while the mat balances the electricity in your body and lowers inflammation. At the same time, you’ll wear a BrainTap headset, which stimulates your brain with light and sound, effectively reprogramming it for health.

High Blood Pressure

The primary function of blood pressure is to move blood around the body through the circulatory system. Our blood is full of oxygen and nutrients that feed the body’s tissues and organs. Blood pressure also transports immune cells, called white blood cells, to areas of the body in need.

In addition to acting as a delivery service, blood pressure also functions as a purifier — fresh blood carried away from the heart picks up waste products and toxins from the body’s tissues and organs.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a systolic reading of over 130 or a diastolic reading greater than 80. When blood pressure is too high, it stresses the arteries and, therefore, the circulatory system. Chronic high blood pressure can lead to heart, brain, and kidney damage.

High blood pressure usually develops over time. It can happen because of unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as not getting enough regular physical activity. Certain health conditions, such as diabetes and obesity, can also increase the risk of developing high blood pressure. High blood pressure can also happen during pregnancy.

Studies have shown that chiropractic care can not only lower high blood pressure but it can raise low blood pressure. Once the nerve supply to your heart and blood vessels is restored, the body can better self-regulate and adapt, allowing you to raise low blood pressure or lower high blood pressure naturally.

Heart Disease

According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease. Several other medical conditions and lifestyle choices can also put people at a higher risk for heart disease, including:

• Diabetes
• Overweight and obesity
• Unhealthy diet
• Physical inactivity
• Excessive alcohol use

Chiropractic, an active lifestyle, and a clean diet can help keep your nervous and circulatory systems strong and healthy.

Lymphatic System Problems

Your lymphatic system is a group of organs, vessels, and tissues that protect you from infection and keep a healthy balance of fluids throughout your body. Lymphatic system organs include your bone marrow, thymus, and lymph nodes.

Many conditions can affect the various parts of your lymphatic system. Some happen during development before birth or during childhood. Others develop as a result of disease or injury. Some common diseases and disorders of the lymphatic system include swollen lymph nodes and swelling or accumulation of fluid.

By balancing out your nervous system so that there is uninhibited communication between the brain and body, healing and normal function of all body systems, including the lymphatic system, can occur.

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy substance. It’s not inherently “bad.” Your body needs it to build cells and make vitamins and other hormones. But too much cholesterol can pose a problem.

Cholesterol circulates in the blood. As the amount of cholesterol in your blood increases, so does the risk to your health. High cholesterol increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart disease and stroke. That’s why it’s crucial to have your cholesterol tested so that you can know your levels. There is not enough evidence to link low cholesterol to any specific complications, so while more research is needed, there are some reported links between hypocholesterolemia (low cholesterol) and:

• Depression
• Suicide
• Aggressive behavior
• Infection
• Bone fracture

High cholesterol can be inherited, but it’s often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices, which make it preventable and treatable. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and sometimes medication can help reduce high cholesterol.

Chiropractic care balances the nervous system so the body can function correctly and heal itself. This, along with diet and exercise, can help normalize cholesterol levels.

Thyroid Issues

Your thyroid is an essential endocrine gland that makes and releases certain hormones. Your thyroid’s main job is to control your metabolism — how your body uses energy. Sometimes, your thyroid doesn’t work correctly.

There are several different types of thyroid disease. Thyroid disease is very common, with an estimated 20 million people in the United States having some kind of thyroid disorder. Women are about five to eight times more likely to be diagnosed with a thyroid condition than men.

Different thyroid conditions have different symptoms. However, since your thyroid has a significant role in certain body systems and processes, such as heart rate, metabolism, and temperature control, there are certain symptoms to look out for that could be a sign of a thyroid condition, including:

• Slow or rapid heart rate
• Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
• Difficulty tolerating cold or heat
• Depression or anxiety
• Irregular menstrual periods

By balancing the brain and nervous system, the communication and healing energy from the brain to the thyroid can be optimized, allowing the thyroid to function as it was meant to and heal.
