Diabetes & Upper Cervical Chiropractic
There are two types of diabetes. Type I is commonly referred to as juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes which typically develops in children prior to puberty. Type II diabetes usually develops after age 40 and is often associated with obesity.
An estimated 16 million people in the United States suffer from Type 1 or Type II diabetes.
What Causes Diabetes?
It has been generally accepted that Type I diabetes occurs after a severe malfunction of the immune system which causes insulin-producing cells in the pancreas to be destroyed.
However, current research suggests the immune system isn’t the only culprit; the nervous system plays a pivotal role, as well. Looking at the nervous system as a possible cure for diabetes is a new concept, but one that is research based and gives hope to millions.
Ground Breaking Diabetes Research
Research conducted at the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Calgary discovered there is a “control circuit” necessary to retain the health and normal function of the cells that produce insulin located in the pancreas between insulin-producing cells and nerves. This “control circuit” has long been known within the Upper Cervical profession as the “brain to body communication circuit.” In the study, scientists “knocked out” specific nerve cells and discovered that doing so created an interference with the brain to body communication.
These nerve cells had a direct and profound effect on the pancreas, diabetes, and blood sugar levels. The research concluded that the nerves were critical in the development of diabetes.
Can an Upper Cervical Correction Help?
The most common misconception about Upper Cervical care is that it only helps back and neck pain.
Upper Cervical care is based on the universal law of cause and effect. For every effect or symptom, physical or mental, there must be a cause.
Upper Cervical doctors recognize that the body is a self-healing organism, controlled and coordinated by the central nervous system, which is protected by the skull and spine.
Using a gentle technique, Upper Cervical doctors locate and remove interference to the nervous system, allowing the body to heal itself naturally without drugs or surgery.
Align Your Spine!
If the first two bones in your neck are misaligned, communication between the brain and body is interrupted and can cause numerous health problems.
Misalignments in the upper cervical spine (neck) can affect the brain to body communication circuit that helps regulate the functions of the pancreas and blood sugar levels.
