Dr. Jerry Asks some important questions of interest to Bountiful residents - Chiropractor Bountiful Dr. Jerry Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
Can a chiropractor heal?
There's never been a case in which a doctor (chiropractor or otherwise) has formed scar tissue, mended a broken bone or cured a headache. Only you can do that. Turns out you're the doctor! All I do is help remove interferences to your body's healing ability. Ready to get started? Call our office today.

Energy Medicine - Supporting the Body's Information Systems

Western medicine has proven to excel in certain areas of health care. It is quite amazing what can be done through advanced surgical procedures these days. But the fact remains that Western approaches fail, often miserably, in treating chronic states of ill-health.  Eastern approaches to the function of the body may hold many answers for us. They tend to be much more holistic and recognize the bodies interactions with its internal and external environment.  The emerging fields of “Energy Medicine” are trying to bridge that gap.

NeuroModulation Technique

One of the most promising techniques in this field is called NeuroModulation Technique (NMT).  It is a method of healing that allows us to access the wisdom of the body to aid in the detection and correction of the underlying causes of disease and ill-health.

The human body was designed with very powerful systems of internal controls designed to maintain a natural state of good health. According to NMT, whenever the body's Autonomic Control System (ACS) loses its ability to regulate itself, illness and dis-ease results.

NMT uses a clinically friendly method of "Muscle Response Testing" (MRT) to communicate with the subconscious brain or ACS. NMT uses this MRT method to first "Access" the ACS--to open the window to "see" internal function. We then "Assess" - to measure the faults in ACS function that are responsible for the person's illness. Finally, NMT uses a powerful system of clinical protocols to "Modulate" the condition--to push the control systems of the body in the direction of normal function. These protocols involve a series of questions used to find control system errors, as shown by MRT. Next the NMT doctor uses specific corrective statements of the protocol to train the ACS toward normal function--the first step in the return to wellness.

What has NMT been able to help?

Conditions that have not responded to drugs, exercise, or physical therapy usually respond well to NMT. Even the most difficult of such conditions typically show marked improvement and patients are often startled by how rapidly and completely their pain diminishes--often before they leave the treatment room. NMT also recognizes the harmful effects of unhealthy emotional and psychological patterns. NMT very rapidly identifies these patterns, and gives the ACS the instructions it needs to eliminate them. It is often surprising how many conditions involve these aspects and their correction with NMT is essential to a complete recovery. We have seen success with conditions such as:

• Allergies
• Asthma
• Infections
• Chronic and acute pain
• Digestive problems
• Emotional trauma
• Wound/injury repair

Who is a Good Candidate for NMT?

Because NMT is non-invasive, non-force, and completely painless there is no one who may not potentially benefit from NMT. Some patients are infants only a few weeks old who present with food allergies or infectious conditions. They are treated without so much as a whimper. Some NMT patients are people in their 80's and 90's, with conditions like osteoporosis and arthritis; yet NMT treatment is so gentle they have absolutely no discomfort from treatment. Many NMT patients are pregnant women, often with low back pain as the presenting complaint. They can't take drugs while pregnant; but NMT provides rapid and safe relief from their spinal pain.

Zyto Technology

Zyto technology stands at the forefront of the computerized bio-communications field. This technology facilitates a “conversation” between the computer and the person’s body, effectively surveying the landscape for stress patterns that may be compromising the bodies efforts to maintain health. Zyto technology is used to “ask” a patient questions and record the answers. This is accomplished by a person resting their hand on a sophisticated hand cradle while the computer software goes through a series of tests that we call “bio-surveys”.

According to the developer of this technology, Dr. Vaughn Cook, “the conversation between the computer and the patient takes the form of stimulus-response exercise. The computer asks a question by sending a signal to the patient, called a virtual stressor. Upon receiving the signal the patient’s body will respond, measured as a shift in GSR
(galvanic skin response) at the point of contact with the hand cradle.” 

Although not medically diagnostic, the results from the Zyto scan are very accurate in determining areas of stress within the body. In the hands of a skilled practitioner the results from this type of testing can be correlated to other tests to determine the body’s priority in treatment and support.
