The Digestive System Zone in the Zone Technique
The Digestive System Zone is one of the six healing zones in the Zone Technique, a chiropractic method developed by Dr. Thurman Fleet. This zone focuses on the organs that help your body digest food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste, which are essential for energy and overall health.
What the Digestive System Does
The digestive system includes the:
- Stomach – breaks down food
- Intestines – absorb nutrients and water
- Liver and gallbladder – process fats and toxins
- Pancreas – produces digestive enzymes and helps regulate blood sugar
When this system works properly, your body gets the fuel it needs to function at its best. But when the digestive zone is out of balance—due to stress, poor diet, or nervous system interference—it can lead to:
- Bloating or indigestion
- Constipation or irregular bowel movements
- Heartburn or acid reflux
- Low energy and poor nutrient absorption
Zone 4 - The Digestive System
- Normalize weight
- Salivary gland health / normalize sense of taste
- Sustain healthy liver, intestines, and gall bladder
- Digest foods that were previously agitating
- Boost energy
In the Zone Technique, chiropractors assess the six zones by checking specific points on the back of the head. If the digestive system zone is imbalanced, a gentle chiropractic adjustment is performed to restore proper communication between the brain and the digestive organs.
Once that connection is restored, the body can digest food more efficiently, absorb nutrients better, and eliminate waste naturally.
Benefits of a Balanced Digestive System Zone
When the digestive system is balanced, many patients report:
- Easier digestion and reduced bloating
- More regular bowel movements
- Better nutrient absorption
- Increased energy and vitality
- A lighter, more comfortable feeling overall
Balancing the digestive system through the Zone Technique helps the body work the way it’s meant to—naturally and effectively.
