The snow is melting and the trees are getting ready to bud to beautiful lime green leaves, all a sure-tell sign that spring is finally upon us! And even though summer is just around the corner, millions of Americans dread the changing weather due to seasonal allergies.

Your immune system is what keeps you healthy but when foreign pollutants attack, the immune system tries to destroy these pollutants. Some common pollutants are dust, pollen, dog or cat dander, different foods, etc. The body then produces too many neutralizing chemicals (histamines) to counteract the allergens thus creating allergies including allergic reactions such as watery eyes, itchy nose and throat, congestions and/or hives.

There is no cure for allergies, only treatment. For those who do have a constant allergy problem however, chiropractic care may be an alternate approach to healing the immune system work more effectively.

The immune system can function more effectively when stress is released from the nervous system, thus the chiropractor will correct the basic cause of body malfunction to improve the function of the immune system.

Remember a healthier spine can improve your health so consistent chiropractic care will help you achieve your healthy life goals.



Jumping, running, falling and normal childhood accidents are common among all children. For the most part, these actions are not serious enough to cause injury. However, they do cause spine misalignments and nerve damage that can affect the child into adulthood.

In a study of 200 patients receiving care from pediatricians and 200 patients receiving care from chiropractors, research showed that the health of the patients receiving care from the chiropractor was superior to those of the pediatricians’ patients. Some of the following symptoms were reporter as fewer in these chiropractic patients: allergies, ear infections, tonsillitis and less need to antibiotic treatment.

Does your child suffer from colic, asthma, bedwetting, ear infections, headache, back or neck pain or have learning and behavioral impairments? Chiropractic Care has shown significant results in the treatment of these illnesses and disorders as well!!

I was told that going to a chiropractor and getting adjusted can help with problems dealing with sinus pressure and sinus headaches. Sinus headaches were actually just one of the reasons I began chiropractic care, I have many aches and pains. But I was skeptical about what I heard until I gave it a try for myself. How could this help me??? So I scheduled an appointment. Dr Boyer found all my pressure points in my neck and released the pressure. I could feel some relief instantly!!! And I was amazed in the difference I felt just after a few visits. I feel great!! Jamie was absolutely wonderful and I’m taking less Advil!!!

I sit at my desk all day long. My neck and shoulders actually start to ache as each day progresses. I stopped over to Boyer Family Chiropractic to see if he could help me. I was told that he uses the Gonstead Technique. Not knowing what this was, I scheduled a visit. I was really curious after hearing positive responses and frankly, I was just dealing with the annoying aches and pains. Dr. Boyer actually has a little machine that he uses to find your ‘hot’ spots!!!! It was so precise!!! And I felt at ease because Dr. Boyer knew exactly what to focus on and fix it!!! I definitely recommend Boyer Family Chiropractic to anyone!!!! I am very pleased!!!!

Gonstead Technique

1. Instrumentation: The Gonstead chiropractor uses an instrument invented by Dr. Gonstead called a Nervoscope. The Nervoscope detects heat along the spine which is consistent with inflammation and pressure on nerves. The instrument has two probes and gently glides down each side of the spine during the examination.









2. Static Palpation: When nerves are compressed and spinal joints malfunction they can produce swelling (edema) in that area as well as tightness in the muscles. Your Gonstead chiropractor will feel for these areas on your back and neck using the finger tips while you sit in a stationary position.









3. Motion Palpation: When spinal segments malfunction, they can "lock up" or become too loose. By gently moving the spine in different ways, your Gonstead chiropractor can feel which segments move improperly.
