Zone Technique: A Systematic Approach to Whole-Body Healing
Zone Technique was developed by Dr. Thurman Fleet in 1931 as a comprehensive method of analyzing and correcting imbalances throughout the human body. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, this approach recognizes that your body operates as six interconnected systems, or "zones," each controlled by specific centers in your brain and brainstem.
When communication between your brain and body is clear, you experience optimal health. However, when vertebral subluxations block this vital communication, imbalances occur that can affect your entire well-being.
The Six Zones of Your Body
Glandular System
Zone 1
Your body's inner pharmacy, producing more chemicals than any pharmaceutical company. This zone controls all hormonal functions through glands including the thyroid, adrenals, and reproductive organs. When balanced, you experience proper energy levels, mood stability, and metabolic function.
Nervous System
Zone 3
The master control system consisting of 46 miles of nerves throughout your body. This zone regulates your sleep-wake cycles, stress response, immune function, and overall energy levels. When balanced, you feel alert during the day and rest peacefully at night.
Muscular System
Zone 5
Your body's structural support system, including over 600 muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. This zone keeps you upright, mobile, and coordinated. Imbalances here affect not only movement but your overall posture and alignment.
Eliminative System
Zone 2
Your body's waste management system, designed to flush out toxins and cellular waste. This includes your lungs, kidneys, intestines, skin, and lymphatic system. Proper elimination prevents your body from being poisoned by its own waste products.
Digestive System
Zone 4
Your body's fuel processing plant, responsible for breaking down food into usable energy. This system includes your stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines. Even the healthiest foods can't nourish you if your digestive zone isn't functioning properly.
Circulatory System
Zone 6
Your body's transportation network, consisting of 60,000 miles of blood vessels plus the lymphatic system. This zone carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout your body. Like oil in your car's engine, proper circulation is essential for all other systems to function.

Erin Fleming McCloskey
"Dr Canty believes in using the least invasive procedures. He wants all his patients to be living the healthiest, lowest stress life they can. I have far less pain in my knees and neck since beginning my treatment -almost none, actually. Dr Canty and the lady-boss office manager Lorena are fun to talk with and the central location is great too."
Alexa Knight
"After 5 years of back and sciatica-like pain, 6 different doctors, numerous procedures, injections, PT, acupuncture, etc....Dr Canty was able to get me to a point of being 98% pain free. I think it was a combination of spinal decompression and other modalities that he used. It took several months, but he never gave up and I never gave up on him. Being pain free is amazing and there aren't words to express my appreciation for his care and commitment."
