Dr. Hegel and Chiropractic
can help relief and resolve:
We can also help reduce the effects of common childhood diseases such as: It is important that we
understand that pain and symptoms are not always bad. Our body
was designed with an intricate warning system in order to make us
aware of injury, harm and danger. No one enjoys feeling poorly,
or suffering and experiencing pain. Symptoms are unpleasant. We
have been taught to view them as bad and we seek ways to
alleviate them as quickly as possible, but it is often without
regard for our health or without understanding their role in our
health and well-being.
The focus of a Chiropractor in caring for your sick child is to ensure the communication pathways from the brain to the body are open and functioning so the body is aware of and attends to poor functioning areas in the body, be they glands, organs, and or muscles. Dr. Hegel’s primary focus is to reset the communication pathway by gently and safely remove the interference from the nervous system by realigning the vertebrae in the spine from the cranial bones to the pelvis. The power that made the body can heal the body when interference to the nervous system is removed. Chiropractic adjustments do just this.
From a Chiropractic perspective, a Fever is classed as nature's infection fighter. When a child has a fever, they are not necessarily sick. They are usually having a natural reaction to an unwanted pathogen that has intruded their system. It is helpful for the body to have an inbuilt system that alerts itself to an intruder, and thus stimulating itself to get rid of it. The best way for the body to rid a pathogen is to heat itself up to a certain temperature so the intruder can no longer survive. The body is an amazing creation.
Dr. Hegel can reduce the effects of a fever through gentle and safe chiropractic adjustments. Adjustments stimulate the nervous and immune systems to clear the intruder out and hence reset the temperature regulation in the body, thus reducing the fever.
Dr. Hegel can help reduce the nasty effect of fever in your child.

Vomiting and Diarrhea
From a Chiropractic perspective Vomiting and Diarrhea is the body’s built in fire alarm that alerts us to intruders like in the instance of eating tainted food. Very often the body precipitates a bout of vomiting and diarrhea. While they are admittedly two of the most unpleasant symptoms, they could save your life as they rid your body of unwanted toxins. Trying to prevent these symptoms could be harmful to your body.
Chiropractic adjustments can assist the body in eliminating the intruder and resetting the vomiting and digestive centers to reduce the effects of both, thus restoring your health.
Dr. Hegel can help reduce the vomiting and diarrhea in your child.

Asthma
Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
Patients
afflicted with asthma may benefit from Chiropractic adjustments
(spinal manipulation) in terms of symptoms, immunological
capacity, and endocrine effects, an audience was told on October
5, 2002 at the 9th International Conference on Spinal
Manipulation in Toronto. The investigative team, headed by Ray
Hayek, Ph.D., has been conducting a trial at 16 treatment centers
in Australia involving 420 patients with an average age of 46 in
an effort to find out what effects spinal manipulation has on
symptoms, depression and anxiety, general health status, and the
levels of immunity as reflected by the concentrations of both an
immunoglobulin (IgA) and an immunosuppressant (cortisol). This
investigation draws from several references in the scientific
literature which suggest that different forms of manual therapy
(including massage) improve the symptomatology and lower cortisol
levels in asthma patients.
Dr. Hayek reported that only the patient group which underwent
spinal manipulation (by any of four commonly used manipulative
treatment protocols) displayed significant improvement in asthma
symptoms and depression and anxiety scores. Simply
experiencing structured interviews at the treatment centers or
being monitored at home did not yield these improvements. In
addition, patients actually undergoing spinal manipulation
displayed dramatic increases of IgA and decreases of cortisol
through the post treatment period, suggesting that there were
physiological consequences to their manipulative treatments
reflecting increased immunological capacities which would be
expected to ward off subsequent asthmatic attacks.
These biochemical changes not only suggest that the effects of
spinal manipulation are more far-reaching than commonly believed,
but that they may be more long-term as well. The gain in
immunological capacity achieved with the simultaneous loss of the
immunosuppressant cortisol and the increase of the immunoglobulin
IgA following spinal manipulation would be expected to reduce the
incidence and severity of pathogenic invasion of the airways.
There would be less of a risk under these circumstances of
compounding the symptoms of asthma.

in your child. Call today for an appointment (214) 235-8373.
