What Are Some Things Chiropractic Care Help With Other Than Pain Relief?

Your spine holds the key to far more than just freedom from back pain. Dr. Steven Barger takes listeners on a fascinating journey through the often-overlooked benefits of Gonstead chiropractic care, revealing how your nervous system serves as the master controller for your entire body's wellbeing.

At the heart of chiropractic's broader impact is the delicate balance between your sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous systems. Dr. Barger explains this relationship as similar to your body's "gas pedal and brake pedal" – a balance that shifts naturally throughout the day but can become disrupted, leading to surprising health challenges. Unlike practitioners who take a "shotgun approach," Gonstead chiropractors make precise, targeted adjustments to restore proper nervous system function.

The conversation explores how specific spinal regions connect to different bodily functions. Adjustments to the thoracic spine might help someone with excess stomach acid and daytime heartburn, while a completely different approach targets those suffering from insufficient acid production and nighttime digestive distress. For sleep troubles, Dr. Barger reveals how adjustments to the atlas and occiput can quiet an overactive mind without causing drowsiness. Even conditions like anxiety, heart palpitations, and Bell's palsy respond to specialized adjustments that recalibrate nervous system balance.

Whether you're struggling with digestive issues, sleep disturbances, stress, or other seemingly unrelated health concerns, this episode illuminates how the spine influences every system in your body.

Can Children Benefit From Chiropractic Care?

Could your child's health challenges have a spinal connection? Dr. Steven Barger reveals the gentle approach to pediatric chiropractic care that's helping children of all ages thrive naturally without medication.

From the birthing process onward, children experience physical stresses that can affect their developing nervous systems. Using techniques far gentler than adult adjustments—think checking an avocado's ripeness—Dr. Barger addresses common infant concerns like torticollis, colic, and tummy time discomfort. Parents are often amazed when their previously inconsolable baby experiences immediate relief, sometimes even having a bowel movement before leaving the office!

As children grow, chiropractic care continues supporting their development in surprising ways. Recurring ear infections often resolve when atlas misalignments are corrected, improving eustachian tube drainage without antibiotics or surgical interventions. Developmental milestone regression, behavioral challenges, attention problems, and even childhood headaches frequently respond to appropriate spinal care by addressing their root cause: nervous system interference. For older children, regular screening during growth spurts helps catch and manage scoliosis before it progresses significantly.

What makes children such ideal chiropractic patients? Their bodies haven't accumulated years of stress, allowing them to heal remarkably quickly once nervous system function is restored. Monthly wellness checks during key developmental periods ensure children build the foundation for lifelong health rather than beginning a pattern of symptom management that continues into adulthood. Wonder if your child might benefit? Schedule a consultation to discover how gentle, targeted care could support your child's natural development and wellbeing.

What Is The Gonstead Technique, And How Does It Differ From Other Chiropractic Methods?

Precision makes all the difference in spinal health, and today Dr. Steven Barger reveals why the Gonstead chiropractic technique stands apart from conventional approaches. If you've ever wondered why some chiropractic treatments deliver quick results while others seem to drag on without progress, this episode uncovers the secret behind truly effective adjustments.

Dr. Barger takes us through the five critical components of the Gonstead methodology that transform chiropractic care into a precise science rather than guesswork. While most practitioners use what Dr. Barger calls a "shotgun approach"—adjusting multiple areas in hopes of addressing the problem—Gonstead chiropractors function like skilled snipers, targeting only the specific vertebrae causing nervous system interference. This precision typically delivers faster relief, with patients often experiencing noticeable improvements within the first month of treatment.

From the often overlooked importance of visualization (actually seeing your spine) to the crucial role of x-rays in treatment planning, Dr. Barger details why skipping any of these assessment steps compromises patient outcomes. He explains how conditions like reverse cervical curves or spondylolisthesis require modified approaches that would be impossible to determine without proper imaging.
