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 Rheumatoid Arthritis).

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.

Benefits to managing Autoimmune Disease in Fairhope and Mobile
Depending on your type of autoimmune disease, the benefits can include:
I had a significant increase in range of motion at my first visit and upon completion of my second visit I had no pain walking to my car. My early assessment gets full approval. I’m looking forward to continuing!
The staff is just so warm and welcoming. Dr. Lopez is amazing and I love Annie and Ryann they are such a breath of fresh air. Annie and Ryann just make my day every time!
Dr. Lopez and team are excellent. While my back will never be normal again, he does a fantastic job alleviating pain and allowing me to live the best life possible. He is by far the best chiropractor I have seen. Thank you!!
Dr. Kyle and his staff are friendly and helpful.
The neuropathy treatment that Dr. Kyle has works. My wife Tracey finished his protocol back in 2017. We were both pleased with the results. If you have neuropathy give Dr. Kyle a chance to help you. His chiropractic adjustments are top notch also. He works to heal back pain not just temporary relief.

Dr. Lopez and his team have been absolutely amazing, taking the time to really go over the issues I've been dealing with for over a year now. He went out of his way to give me options and what he thought the best coarse of action would be. He has high state of the art equipment and therapy that none of the other chiropractors around have, just to better help you to help, as opposed to masking the pain. The girls up front have been equally amazing, helping me with different and difficult insurance issues, but have been diligent in making sure my insurance was doing their part!
Half way through my treatment protocol so far I have been pleased with Dr.Lopez and his staff and my treatment. I will reserve my final review for when I see the ultimate outcome of my therapy. The office staff are friendly yet professional and make my visits pleasant rather than drudgery. It is nice to see smiling faces and welcome smiles when arriving for treatment rather than a strict clinical attitude like many professional offices. They seem to really enjoy their interface with patients. More to follow as we progress.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After just my first visit, I could already tell I was in good hands. The staff is incredibly kind, and the chiropractor was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about helping me feel better. They explained my X-rays, answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I’m excited to continue my care and highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a chiropractor! Kyle Lopez is AMAZING
I’ve received very good care here! Dr Lopez and his staff are extremely kind. I’m so happy I decided to seek treatment for my knee pain with Advanced Health Solutions.
