Chiropractic can help treat old injuries and multiple health care concerns
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!
Seizures, blood pressure, visual and hearing disturbances. A 76-year-old woman had been suffering from seizures for ten years after experiencing a concussion. She also suffered from fluctuating blood pressure, visual disturbances, decreased hearing, abnormally wide stride and an abnormal walking pattern.
Immediately after her first chiropractic adjustment she experienced a more normal walking pattern. Within two months of care she reported a complete recovery from seizures, blood pressure stability and improved hearing (7).

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.

Chiropractic adjustments part of an ADHD treatment plan
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!
A 4½-year-old male child with learning disabilities, reduced social interaction and increased sensory stimulation behaviors presented for chiropractic care. The patient was suspected to have attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) along with his diagnosis of sensory processing disorder one-year prior.
The child was adjusted for subluxations and placed on a gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and casein-free diet. In addition, exercises were given to stimulate the patient’s sensory nerve pathways. The child experienced a decrease in outbursts, improved attention span, improved ability to focus and he began to read. (6)

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.

Chiropractic and bedwetting: a case study
Bedwetting:
A nine-year-old boy with nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) was presented for chiropractic care after unsuccessful medical approaches. Subluxations were located and corrected in the cervical and lumbo-sacral spine regions. By the seventh visit he had been dry for two weeks and continued to stay dry at a four-month follow-up. (14)

Chiropractic and autism: a case study
Autism:
A 6-year-old boy was diagnosed with autism by a neurologist after brain pathology was ruled out. He had been fully vaccinated. Vertebral subluxations were found in the child. The Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) was used to determine the state of his condition. A schedule of chiropractic adjustments was implemented to reduce the subluxations that were found. Over a 16-week period of chiropractic adjustments, a reduction in vertebral subluxation patterns and an improved ATEC score were noted. The child’s learning abilities, social interactions, language skills and behavioral patterns also improved. (13)
