Autism. A 6-year-old boy was brought to the chiropractor’s office with reduced social interaction, altered behavioral patterns, language deficits and learning difficulties. He was diagnosed with autism by a neurologist. The child was fully vaccinated.
Chiropractic analysis determined the presence of vertebral subluxations in the child. Chiropractic adjustments along with dietary and supplementation recommendations were advised. Over the 16-week period improvements in learning abilities, social interactions, language skills and behavioral patterns were noted. (16)

In the ongoing Framingham Heart Study scientists showed that those subjects with lower levels of vitamin D tended to have increased waist circumference and higher serum insulin levels – two major indications of dangerous visceral fat accumulation. Sunshine is your single best natural source of D (and sunscreen can block the healthy UV rays needed for vitamin D formation). (14)

Van Every Family Chiropractic asks, "Do you know how important breastfeeding is?"
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
According to a new study published in the journal Pediatrics nearly $13 billion in health care costs each year could be saved and nearly 1,000 infant deaths could be prevented if more mothers would breastfeed at least six months, beginning immediately after birth.
Why? Because breast milk is nature’s perfect food. It supplies everything the baby needs for optimal brain and body development. Breast milk contains antibodies that protect infants from bacterial and viral infections. More importantly, breast milk contains things necessary for health that have not yet been discovered. Also breastfeeding benefits the child emotionally and helps neurological development. Formula simply does not give a child what he/she needs for optimal growth, development and health. Formula made from soymilk is especially damaging to infants and may cause developmental and sexual problems later in life. (11)

Can Van Every Family Chiropractic help with carpal tunnel syndrome?
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
Neuritis, bursitis, neuralgia, rheumatism, frozen shoulder, fibrositis, sprains, strains, “poor circulation” and rotator cuff problems are some of the terms used to describe shoulder, arm and hand conditions.
Don’t blame joint problems on “old age” – you have many other joints (and organs) that are just as old that have no problems.
Whenever there’s a problem, always look for imbalances and interferences preventing the body from functioning and healing. When it comes to the shoulder, arm and hand the nerves that make up the brachial plexus should always be checked for interference caused by subluxations.
Subluxations are distortions in body structure. They can be caused by injuries such as falls, sports mishaps, car accidents, emotional stress, fatigue and sleeping in an awkward position. Even birth stress could cause subluxations that can affect the arms, shoulders and hands.
Which nerves?
Depending on which nerves are damaged there may be muscle weakness, neck pain or stiffness, shoulder, arm, wrist, hand or finger pain. Sometimes there’s numbness, sometimes there’s pain and numbness and sometimes there are odd sensations (“pins and needles”). (1-2)
Many other conditions
Because of the complicated way nerves interrelate, headache; migraine; facial pain; dizziness; limited, painful or stiff motion of the head and neck; throat conditions; thyroid and nasal problems; epilepsy and even lower back pain have been reported as a result of neck or brachial nerve plexus irritation. (3)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or CTS symptoms include tingling and numbness in the hand, fingers and wrist; pain so intense that it awakens you at night and similar symptoms in the upper arm, elbow, shoulder or neck. “Faulty enervation caused by spinal joint lesions is one of the main factors in the production of wrist swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome, [and] tennis elbow.” (4-5)
The Chiropractic Approach
Chiropractic’s success with shoulder, arm, wrist and hand problems is well documented, (6-10) even though chiropractic is really not a “treatment” for those problems.
Your doctor of chiropractic is specially trained to locate and correct subluxations. Unless corrected, subluxations in your body can cause or contribute to many health conditions and prevent or interfere with the normal healing process.
After your chiropractor has located your subluxations he or she will “adjust” or correct them. This will release structural and nerve pressure and help restore the healthy flow of nerve impulses between your brain and your body parts and help rebalance your system.

Colic, constipation and sleep problems. A two-week-old male baby had excessive crying, abdominal distension, constipation, gas and disrupted sleep. Vertebral subluxations were identified and chiropractic care was applied to reduce vertebral subluxations in the pelvis and lumbar and cervical spine. The child experienced a bowel movement immediately following the first adjustment. Continued care led to regular bowel movements, a decrease in crying and improved sleep. (11)

Lots of people call their chiropractor if they have back, neck, sciatica, arm, leg, headache and other kinds of pain. But chiropractic care can do so much more! Here are a couple of examples of why babies and children need chiropractic care. (Don’t leave them home when you come in for your visit.)
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and chiropractic. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 2.6% to 11.4% of children. More parents are looking for non-drug approaches to help their children. Can chiropractic help?
In this study four male children were evaluated before and after chiropractic care. All the children showed improvement in ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattentiveness, as well as behavioral, social or emotional difficulties, under chiropractic care. (10)

Van Every Family Chiropractic asks, "Do you know what sciatica is?"
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
Your sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in your body. When such a large nerve becomes inflamed the condition is called sciatica (pronounced si'ad-a'ka) and the pain can be intense! The pain may follow the path of your nerve – down the back of your legs and thighs, down to your ankle, foot and toes – but it can also radiate to your back with burning, pins and needles or tingling. Ugh!
Causes of sciatica can include an unhealthy spine with a protruded or ruptured disc which can irritate the sciatic nerve. Sciatica has been reported following accidents, injuries and childbirth. (1)
The medical approach to sciatica is usually to treat the symptoms with painkillers, muscle relaxers, traction and physical therapy. Relief may be obtained by injecting painkillers directly into the nerve roots! In extreme cases orthopedic surgery may be resorted to.
The chiropractic approach has been a blessing to sciatica and leg pain sufferers for over a hundred years (2-3) often saving them from surgery. (4-6)
All sciatica sufferers should see a doctor of chiropractic to ensure they have a body free from subluxations. A subluxation causes structural distortions, disc and nerve pressure and may stress the entire body and brain! Chiropractors correct or adjust subluxations to relieve stress on the structure, nerves, joints and discs.
If you do have sciatica, from whatever cause, a chiropractic adjustment is needed to remove pressure on your nerves, rebalance your spine and body structure, release stress from your discs and permit your body's muscles, glands and tissues to function in a more balanced manner.
Every sciatica sufferer should visit their neighborhood doctor of chiropractic for a checkup. It could save them from needless drugs, injections and surgery.

Chiropractic isn't just for professional athletes!

Chiropractic has been “discovered” by professional athletes, Olympians, weekend warriors and everyone in between. Since it’s football season we thought you might find this interesting:
According to the Professional Football Chiropractic Society (PFCS), all 32 teams in the National Football League provide their players with chiropractic care so they can perform at their best and also to manage and prevent injuries and to speed recovery.
Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston relied on Rob Lizana, DC for chiropractic care. Colston says:
"I always see Dr. Rob for chiropractic care on game day to get my body balanced, flexible and ready for action. I see him several times a week for rehab and to recover faster from the last game."
The Saints’ Reggie Bush has been receiving regular chiropractic care since high school.
"I look at chiropractic care as important to keeping me healthy and at the top of my game."
Saints wide receiver Lance Moore also praises chiropractic:
"Not only did my chiropractor get me back on the field, but he helped me to stay on the field. My body just feels much better overall because of the care I've gotten."
2010 NFL Hall Of Fame inductee Jerry Rice adds:
"I did a lot of things to stay in the game, but regular visits to my chiropractor made all the difference." (1)

"I did a lot of things to stay in the game, but regular visits to my chiropractor made all the difference." (1)

Nine-year-old girl with epilepsy: A nine-year-old girl presented at a chiropractic office with uncontrollable blinking of her left eye and fainting spells. She had been diagnosed by a neurologist as suffering from occipital lobe epilepsy.
Chiropractic adjustments were applied to the first cervical (neck) vertebrae on 3 separate occasions and other adjustments were applied to various areas of the spinal column where vertebral subluxations existed. The patient’s uncontrolled eye twitching decreased immediately following the first upper cervical adjustment and ceased completely 3 weeks following the final adjustment. The twitching has not resurfaced in approximately 2 years. (13)
