Developed by Dr. Thurman Fleet and refined over decades, Zone Technique identifies and corrects imbalances in your body's six fundamental systems — restoring natural healing from the inside out.
Zone Technique is a chiropractic healing system originally developed by Dr. Thurman Fleet in 1931. It is based on the principle that the brain has six distinct centers — each controlling one of the body's six fundamental systems. When any of these brain centers experience stress or interference, the corresponding body zone goes out of balance and dis-ease follows.
Dr. Cayer uses Zone Technique as the cornerstone of his practice. By testing specific points in the brain centers and making targeted spinal adjustments, he is able to restore proper nerve signal flow — allowing each zone to heal naturally, without drugs or surgery.
The elegance of Zone Technique is that it goes far beyond back pain. When the body's six zones are in balance, patients frequently experience resolution of digestive issues, hormonal problems, allergies, anxiety, and more — often conditions they didn't even mention when they first came in.

Each visit follows a precise, evidence-informed process — no guesswork, no generic treatment plans.
Dr. Cayer tests specific points in your brain centers to identify which of your 6 zones are out of balance. This takes the guesswork out of diagnosis.
Based on the assessment, Dr. Cayer determines exactly which zones need correction. Your body tells him what it needs — he just listens.
Precise, gentle adjustments are made to specific areas of the spine that correspond to the affected brain center and zone — restoring proper nerve signal flow.
As the nerve signals normalize, the affected zone begins healing itself. Most patients feel improvement within the first few visits.
Each of the 6 brain centers corresponds to specific vertebral segments. Dr. Cayer makes precise corrections at exactly the right location to restore proper nerve signaling to each zone.
These are real outcomes from Dr. Cayer's patients whose specific zones were identified and corrected.
“I had chronic acid reflux for 8 years and tried every medication. Dr. Cayer identified my digestive zone was severely imbalanced and within 6 visits my reflux was 90% better. I still can't believe it.”

“My daughter was getting sick constantly — 8 ear infections in a year. After Zone Technique treatment targeting her glandular and eliminative zones, she hasn't had a single infection in over two years.”

“I came in for back pain but Dr. Cayer noticed my nervous zone was severely off. After treatment my back pain is gone but so is the anxiety I'd carried for years. I didn't even mention the anxiety — he found it.”

Dr. Cayer can identify your imbalanced zones in your very first visit. Most patients are surprised how many of their long-standing health issues trace back to just one or two zones. The path to healing starts with knowing which zones need attention.
