From Psychology Today –July 14, 2006
Jay Holder, a chiropractor and physician with the Exodus Treatment Center in Miami Beach, wondered how patients would fare on a traditional rehab treatment program supplemented with chiropractic care. Some 98 subjects, including Mehlman, participated in the study, which was published in Molecular Psychiatry. Holder's research found that when an addiction treatment program was supplemented with frequent chiropractic adjustments over a 30-day period, the patients displayed an unprecedented 100 percent program completion rate. In addition, initially rampant depression and anxiety dropped significantly.
In a randomized clinical trial with 98 addicts designed by Robert Duncan, Ph.D., biostatistician at the University of Miami School of Medicine, Dr. Holder found that daily chiropractic adjustments five times a week over a 30-day period increased the retention rate to 100%. “This is unheard of; it’s never happened before in addiction treatment,” Dr. Holder says.
What’s the connection between a misaligned spine and addictions? It has to do with the interruption of a precise sequence of chemical changes in your brain called the “brain reward cascade.” If this cascade is not interrupted, you feel a sense of well-being and pleasure. If the sequence is interrupted, resulting in what is known as “reward deficiency syndrome,” you may seek mood-altering substances or activities.
How does a misalignment in your back interfere with the flow of chemicals in the brain? Holder’s theory is that emotions and feelings are felt not just in your head, but in your spine as well.
If your spine is misaligned anywhere along its length, that condition can interfere with the proper operation of the limbic system and the flow of reward chemicals in your brain Chiropractic gets the dopamine flowing again, balancing the brain reward cascade. Chiropractic offers the public something that conventional medicine cannot: a drug-free addiction treatment program.
We experience our life and world through our nervous system where emotions affect our body and our health. Chiropractic adjustments align the spine, which unblocks the interference of your nerve transmissions from your brain to your body and back again. Chiropractic truly does integrate your mind and body.

What you don’t know won’t hurt you?
The majority of people feel they know what’s good for them. And when they are not feeling good they go to the doctor… sometimes.
But did you know that you can be sick and not have any symptoms? Diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer may not give symptoms until later stages of development. Consider that sixty percent of heart attacks, the first symptom is death, for example. So, when it comes to talking about your health, what matters is how your body is working, not necessarily how you are feeling. Does that make sense?
Now think about this. Did you ever consider that everything we experience about our lives, and everything we perceive in our lives is processed through the nervous system? What we taste, hear, touch, see and smell as well as our emotions of love, surprise, fear etc… is processed through the nervous system. How we move our bodies and every nervous impulse that animates and controls our internal organs, tissues and cells are controlled by the nervous system as well. Add to this all the eastern philosophies of our bodies energies of auras, meridians and bioelectric fields depend on the function of nervous impulses as well. Is it evident to the reader that our beliefs and our emotions have an effect on the body? Stress has a great affect on our health.
And the common element to all the above is our spinal column. The conduit of the nervous system is the vertebral column, the spine. The very importance that one places on the nervous system has the same importance for the spine, the vertebral column. A healthy spine allows for a healthy nervous system, a healthy immune system and optimal health.
If there is nerve interference along the spine for various reasons,ie., poor posture injury, stress, then it should be corrected to gain better health. This can be experienced in more energy, better sleep, less sickness, less pain, more flexibility and improved endurance to name just a few things.
Children especially improve when nervous interference is eliminated. But it is more important to make sure children are free of nerve interference because they have a limited time to develop their genetic potential while they are growing.
To find out if you suffer from nerve interference, I am extending an opportunity to my community for the next two weeks by offering a full examination for only $47.00. This includes a neurological assessment, computerized nerve scan and x-rays. Find out if you are functioning optimally or if you have an issue come in and see if we can help, as I helped my wife with an autoimmune disease.
