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.

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)

Chiropractic adjustments help regulate your systems

Chronic constipation in a child. A 7-year-old-boy presented for care with complaints of chronic constipation, headaches and neck pain. The boy had suffered from constipation since the age of three. At age 5, MDs prescribed enemas (three times per week) but this gave only temporary relief. By age 6, stool softeners and the laxative MiraLAX® were prescribed. Three to four weeks prior to chiropractic care, the boy had bowel movements of once per week.
Over the course of 6 weeks, the child had 10 adjustments. The mother reported that her son had bowel movements of 5-6 times per week without the need for laxatives. (6)

More support for breast feeding!
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!
"Breast is best"
“Breast is best” is now accepted beyond all doubt as the proper nutrition for babies. Studies show that it’s also a very good thing for mothers. In fact, mothers who breast-feed have a lower risk of getting breast cancer (1) and breast-fed babies have a decreased risk of getting breast cancer when they grow up. (2) Women who breast-fed had less breast cancer and infants who were exclusively breast-fed for 16 weeks or more had a 50% lower rate of acute otitis media (ear infections). (3)
If breastfeeding is natural feeding, then formula feeding is artificial feeding. Obstetrician Mayer Eisenstein writes: "Formula is no magic concoction. Anyone who reads the ingredients on a can of infant formula will see that it is simply a recipe of cow's milk, sugar and water. Although “experts” may assure you that pasteurized cow's milk, refined sugar and chlorinated tap water is an adequate substitute for breast milk, there is no evidence (none) that this is true and mountains of evidence that infant formula can be detrimental to your baby's health.

Read all of the fine print before you get a flu 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!
It's flu shot season--Wait a minute!
Drug stores and pharmacies are covered with signs offering flu shots. But before you, your relatives or your friends submit to getting injected with toxins and bizarre poisonous chemicals you should know a few things about this years’ flu shot.
First of all, the manufacturer has admitted that it doesn’t work.
That’s right, GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of FluLaval®, actually puts it in the product insert (that little paper that comes with the vaccine with all the small print no one reads.) Don’t believe us? Here it is word-for-word:
There have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FluLaval®. (1)
Why get it if there’s no proof it decreases flu?

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.

He scored 46 on the Beck Depression Inventory-II, which indicates severe depression.
