Zone 6: CIRCULATION

Zone 6 Circulation includes the heart, arteries, veins, and the lymphatic system (the body’s “mini-trash cans”). These 60,000 miles of circulatory pathways carry oxygen and other nutrients to all parts of the body. It then carries carbon dioxide and other waste products to the proper organs to be flushed out of the body. Additionally, those clean nutrients help the body repair any tissues/ organs damaged from stress or trauma.

The Circulatory System

In addition to its daily responsibilities, the circulatory zone carries hormones released by the glandular zone. Just like the engine in your car, without proper oil circulating through it, the car would seize up and stop working. The lymphatic system is your body’s daily oil changing system, collecting and releasing lymph and hormones into the bloodstream. Since it doesn’t have a pump (like the heart), it is dependent on Zone 5 to move the fluids around. Because of this, bedridden patients may develop bed sores due to lack of movement of lymph fluid and hormones.

Physical, mental, or chemical stress can cause a disturbance in the brain center as well as a spinal misalignment or subluxation in the circulatory nerve channels. This disturbance interferes with the proper brain/nerve signals traveling to other Zone 6 organs, creating a multitude of diseases and problems. An imbalance in Zone 6 causes symptoms like:

• Thyroid conditions
• Blood pressure issues
• Heart problems
• Headaches/ migraines
• Cold extremities (hands/ feet)
• Poor circulation

How We Balance Zone 6

Dr. Nilles will perform a Zone 6 Specific Adjustment, along with informing you, the patient, what you should expect from this treatment. He will also hand you a Zone 6 Sheet describing exactly what you should be looking for as a result of the treatment. It’s best to read this sheet just before bedtime. When most or all the symptoms turn to “yes”, please return the sheet to the office.

Balancing Zone 6 usually takes 12-14 visits, over 4 weeks. It is similar to working out; if you exercise once, you can’t expect to lose 10 pounds or run a 5K marathon right away. Correcting this zone takes some time and adjustments.
