There are more than 80 autoimmune diseases that are currently known to the medical research. While all autoimmune diseases are different (and lead to different symptoms, pains, and frustrations), they all have something in common.
Autoimmune Disease is when your immune system believes that part of your body is a foreign entity and attacks itself. Your immune system’s job is to keep away foreign invaders that can negatively impact your health. That’s its job.
But, sometimes your immune system can be too diligent in warding off invaders. There are instances where your immune system will believe that your colon is a foreign entity and attack it – leading to inflammation, pain, and serious symptoms (this is the case with an autoimmune disease called Ulcerative Colitis). Or, it might believe that your joints are foreign and attack those (this is the case with an autoimmune disease called RheumatoidArthritis).

Can you cure Autoimmune Disease?
Autoimmune diseases are known to be lifelong conditions that can be managed and treated. According to modern scientific literature, autoimmune diseases are NOT curable – instead, they usually have periods of flare-ups (where symptoms worsen) and periods of remission (where symptoms are less intense or not noticeable at all). While this is the case, there is recent literature that is discussing the use of alternative treatments (such as stem cell therapy) that has been shown to completely reverse autoimmune diseases (not just put them into remission).
Recent research of stem cells for autoimmune diseases states that: “Stem cell-based therapies offer many exciting possibilities for the development of novel treatments, and perhaps even cures, for autoimmune diseases.” Other research has concluded that factors that trigger, perpetuate and exacerbate autoimmune disease are: modern Western diet, chronic stress, changes in gut microbiota, environmental toxins, sleep deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, reduced sun exposure, and other unidentified aspects of the modern lifestyle.

Dr Hewett is an outstanding chiropractor! My lower back and hips have never felt better! I enjoy the decompression treatments, because it helps open up the areas between by vertebrae…hopefully preventing my degenerative arthritis, in my spine, from getting worse. Dr Hewett’s staff is wonderful too! Very professional, knowledgeable and kind! I 100% recommend Hewett Chiropractic!
Dr hewett is a good dr. Definitely wants to help ya and see ya feeling better. Unfortunately I was seeking out a specific adjustment that is not offered currently by this establishment.(not sure if it will be at some point) the Y-Strap/ring dinger. I found a spot I had called previously before going to hewett and they called and was able to see me for the adjustment I was looking for. All in all I would definitely recommend him to people no problem. Hopefully he will integrate the Y-Strap into his practice at done point. Thanks doc, ya helped me get out of the agonizing neck pain but I just needed that extra adjustment.
I am simply amazed at the level of improvement in my daily life after just a few visits. I will recommend Dr. Hewett to EVERYONE. Thank you so much for the awesome treatment that I received.
Dr. Hewett is such caring, insightful, knowledgeable, beautiful person. He is honest and straight forward about treatments and possibility of success. Trust him, he can help, and if he can't he will be honest!
All around amazing guy! Does great work but also is very invested in helping you in all healthy lifestyle roles. Office staff is always great to work with! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dr Hewett has done wonders for my back pain and works hard to create solutions as well as treatment. Everyone in his office is always so friendly and helpful!
Tyler knows his trade and is very passionate about it. He thinks outside the box from what you would usually get from a chiropractor. He won't just adjust you, he will provide you with ways to find a permanent solution to your aches and pains through simple daily exercises as well. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a chiropractor.
