What is the Zone Technique?
The Zone Technique classifies the human body into six zones/systems as determined by the principles of neurology and brain function.
Each zone/system is controlled by specific parts of the brain and brainstem.
Disease and discomfort can be attributed to a disturbance in one or more of these six systems or “zones.” A disturbance within one of these areas alters the brain’s ability to direct the system to perform its functions normally.
The Zone Technique offers a diagnostic process that enables the doctor AND patient to know exactly what is happening in the body.
The process begins by determining which of the brain centers is not sending the proper signals to its corresponding system. This is done through examination of specific points on the head, which are connected neurologically to the six brain centers. When a brain center is not in harmony with its own system, all functions associated with that system suffer, as well as disrupting proper function in all the other systems.
To correct the imbalance, four specific points along the spinal cord are stimulated/activated. This balances the specific brain center. Then the spine is adjusted appropriately and the brain centers then send out the correct signals to the body’s zones/systems and the body is better equipped to heal itself.
Regaining balance in each of the body’s six systems is crucial to achieving overall health.
Zone 1: Glandular Zone
Restores normal nerve life to all the glands in the head, you will notice an improvement in memory, energy, and texture of your skin and hair. Restores life to all the glands of your digestive system, thyroid, and adrenals.
You will notice an improvement in your appetite, digestion, ability to sleep and improved elimination. You will experience a feeling of relaxation, a better outlook on life, you won’t lose your temper as much and you will be able to concentrate better.
Zone 2: Eliminative Zone
All eliminative functions of the body will begin to evacuate accumulated toxins.
Your kidneys, liver, and intestines will work better.
Restoring normal function to this zone will cause your sinuses to drain and function better. Restores normal nerve life to bronchial tubes and lungs. You will have a more balanced alkaline/acid system.
Zone 3: Nerve Zone
This zone correlates with the Central Nervous System, the Peripheral Nervous System, and your Autonomic Nervous System.
It is indicated by very stressful times in your life. As such, it can restore normal digestion.
Your mood will improve, you will experience better sleep, increased eye and ear health, balance the hormonal system, increase energy and you will feel more calm and relaxed.
Zone 4: Digestive Zone
This zone is indicated with everything within your digestive system.. stomach, liver, gallbladder, and intestines.
Balancing this zone will help your weight normalize, you will experience better digestion and you will realize a better sense of taste. You will also have a healthier liver, intestines, and gallbladder.
You will be able to digest foods that were previously agitating, and you will notice a boost in your energy.
Zone 5: Muscular Zone
This zone is neurologically linked to every muscle, tendon, and ligament in your body.
Balancing this zone will restore proper range of motion and movement throughout your body. A proper functioning muscular zone will expedite muscle recovery and improve strength, improve suppleness and flexibility, restore your center of gravity and help eliminate dizziness.
It is one of the most prolific zones in your body…. because everything depends on movement! This zone is usually indicated when someone has the typical chiropractic complaint of neck, mid back and low back pain.
Zone 6: Circulatory Zone
Can you say Heart Health?
Balancing this zone will normalize blood pressure and you will have healthier blood vessels and better circulation. The thyroid gland is indicated by this zone so it is critical to making sure this zone is balanced.
Toxins will be processed better for overall health. General aches and pains will subside due to the release of toxins with better circulation and lymphatic drain.
You will notice a more normal feeling of ease and overall strength as well.
