Mental health and chiropractic
Did you know that, over a forty-year period, Doctors of Chiropractic and chiropractic schools operated nearly two hundred hospitals? They were built on the principal that chiropractic care, with proper subluxation correction, a healthy, nutritious diet, exercise, fresh air and sunlight, had powerful healing effects. (1)
What especially amazed clinicians were the beneficial effects chiropractic had on those suffering from “mental and emotional disorders.” Chiropractic care was especially helpful for people who suffered from anxiety, “nervous disorders” (as they were then called) and more severe forms of emotional illness.
In time the chiropractic profession owned and operated two hospitals devoted to mental health: Clear View Sanitarium and Forest Park Sanitarium, both in Davenport, Iowa. Over a 40-year period, the chiropractic hospitals had greater success than the state mental hospitals. (2)
The results so impressed North Dakota circuit court judge A.W. Ponath that he consistently refused to send a patient to the state mental hospital unless they first spent time in the chiropractic institution. (3)
Why? Because without drugs, surgery (pre-frontal lobotomies) and electric shock therapy, chiropractic promoted real brain health and had a greater healing success rate.
Today chiropractors see many patients suffering from anxiety, depression, addiction, ADD, ADHD, autism and other conditions related to a dysfunctioning nervous system. (4)
Chiropractors are specially trained to locate nerve interference (spinal nerve stress) and release or correct it. Once your nerve interference is released your nervous system, especially your brain and spinal cord, is able to communicate with all your body systems – your immune, digestive, circulatory, endocrine and muscular systems as well as all the rest – to help them function closer to their potential and to improve your natural healing ability. (5)
Everyone of us in this (often) stress-filled world needs to see a Doctor of Chiropractic for a chance to enjoy some drug-free healthcare and less stress in their lives – it could make a big difference for your physical and mental health.

Does an aspirin regimen help or hinder your health?
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!
Daily aspirin?
In 1988 research suggested that some high-risk patients who took daily aspirin had fewer heart attacks. Drug companies began pushing daily aspirin use and some medical doctors began “prescribing” aspirin to prevent heart attacks.
But recent findings reveal that people without a history of cardiovascular disease (such as heart attack or stroke) are unlikely to benefit from a regular dose of aspirin, given the associated risk of internal bleeding.
The researchers found that aspirin in conventional daily or alternate day doses reduced the risk of total non-fatal cardiovascular disease events by just 10% – but this benefit was offset by a 30% increase in risk of life-threatening internal bleeding events. Aspirin is not a safe drug (actually there is no drug without dangerous side-effects). Look at this:
* 1,600 children die each year from allergic reactions to aspirin
* Patients with blockage of arteries to the brain are three times more likely to have a stroke if they are taking aspirin
* Dyspepsia and gastrointestinal hemorrhage occur in 31% of those taking 300 mgs. of aspirin per day
* Low doses of aspirin can increase the risk of brain hemorrhage
* Other side effects can include anemia, bleeding ulcers, confusion and dizziness, and numerous other problems (7)

Don't just suffer from headaches--Make them go away with Chiropractic care!
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!
Chronic headache in an eight-year-old. An 8-year old boy who suffered from chronic headaches for two years was brought in for chiropractic care. The headaches were described as sharp and throbbing, worse with noise, better when lying down, and located in the frontal skull area and occasionally lasted an entire day. He also suffered from sore throat, fatigue, queasiness, aches, pains and dizziness.
His parents brought him to a neurologist, psychologist and nutritionist with limited health improvements.
Initially the child was adjusted three times a week then progressed to a maintenance schedule of two times per month for a total of 86 visits in 20 months of care. Initially his cervical x-ray showed a flat spine – there was no curve. After 6 months of care his cervical lordosis (curve) was near normal for his age. His headaches and other symptoms resolved. (5)

What does a subluxation do to me: why chiropractic care is so important!
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!
Subluxations are distortions in your body that interfere with your internal communications.
Doctors of Chiropractic locate and correct subluxations to promote improved health, healing, balance, energy and connection.
Among the ways subluxations damage your health and well-being are the following:
1. Spine and structural distortions. They can express as one leg being shorter than the other; one hip or shoulder not being in line with the other; hips being unbalanced. A distorted body causes weakness, fatigue and overall body malfunction (dis-ease).
2. Nerve interference. Your brain, spinal cord and nerves cannot send information and energy at top efficiency. You may feel pain or feel like you’re in a mental fog or both.
3. Chemical changes. This can cause inflammation of joints, ligaments, discs and bones. It can cause pain, weakness, lack of energy and dis-ease.
4. Muscle stress. This can express as trigger points, pain, soreness, weakness, imbalance and fatigue.
5. Internal organ weakness. Depending on which nerves are affected, your internal organs can be weakened which can result in malfunction, tissue weakness and disease.
Now do you see why it’s so important to get a chiropractic checkup to make sure you are free of subluxations? Why carry them around inside you? Subluxations are like cavities in the teeth – slowly damaging your health. It’s best to locate and correct them early, before they cause serious health problems.

"Does my posture matter?" Van Every asks!
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 researchers reporting in the American Journal of Pain Management, "Posture affects and moderates every physiological function from breathing to hormonal production. Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse, and lung capacity are also among the functions influenced by posture.”
“Posture especially influences respiration, oxygenation and sympathetic function. Ultimately, it appears that homeostasis and autonomic regulation are intimately connected with posture. It has been clinically observed that many symptoms, including pain, may be moderated or eliminated by improved posture." (3)
We’d like to add however that good posture is much more than remembering to “sit up straight”, “don’t hunch”, “hold your head up” and other ways of holding ourselves. Most of our posture is unconscious and is the result of how we deal with our relationship with gravity, stress, our emotions, fatigue and whether we have subluxations or not.
Because of that it is important for children (as well as adults) to have a chiropractic checkup to ensure that they grow up in balance and alignment.

Van Every Family Chiropractic asks, "Does your baby need a Vitamin K shot?"
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!
Hospitals like to administer a synthetic, fat-soluble vitamin K injection to all newborns that is 100 times the daily requirement! If a mother is not malnourished, however, there is no proof that there is a vitamin K deficiency.
The vitamin K shot includes carbolic acid (a poisonous substance distilled from coal tar), propylene glycol (used as an antifreeze and in hydraulic brake fluid), formaldehyde (a cancer-causing agent used to embalm bodies), mercury (the most poisonous naturally occurring element) and benzyl alcohol.
Large doses of vitamin K are linked to childhood cancers, leukemia, jaundice and other severe reactions, including death. Animal studies link vitamin K to liver damage, kidney damage and death. Additionally, synthetic vitamin K has never been studied to see if it causes cancer or impairment of fertility.
A Lancet study reports, "We conclude that healthy babies, contrary to current beliefs, are not likely to have a vitamin K deficiency ... the administration of vitamin K is not supported by our findings...." (7)
