Keep Your Holiday Schedule

We see it every year. As patients gear up for the holidays, it?s not uncommon to see a rise in missed appointments and an increase in visit cancellations. Please think twice before allowing the hustle and bustle of the season to derail your commitment to attend to your health. Here?s why:

Lost momentum. Since each visit builds on the ones before, missing a visit or two can jeopardize your progress and set the stage for a relapse. Like stopping an exercise program, your spine is inclined to return to its former, unhealthy patterns.

Increased stress. The emotional stress of holiday preparations are simply magnified by the chemical stress of rich foods, alcohol and over indulgence. Reducing stress to your nervous system with chiropractic care can help you adapt and accommodate the increased stress.

Pamper yourself. Your health is your most valuable possession. Take time out for yourself during this busy season. Think of our office as a refuge and protective sanctuary to revitalize yourself. Emerge restored and renewed.

Avoid the crash. Many of the health problems that prompt New Year?s resolutions reach the tipping point this month. If you resolve to embark upon a slimming program, be sure to get a chiropractic checkup first.

In fact, if it?s been awhile since your last visit, this stressful holiday season is the perfect time to stop in for a chiropractic ?tune up.? Enhance your ability to enjoy the season by being your best. Schedule an appointment today!

Do You Get the Message?

Many people think chiropractic is about bones, especially spinal bones. But the fact is, we’re much more interested in nerves. In particular, the nerve messages that travel between the brain and the body and from the body back to the brain.

Any type of disruption can distort or disturb the integrity of the controlling and regulating messages from the brain. The result can be ill health.

A common culprit is the 24 moving bones of the spine that cover your spinal cord. When spinal bones lose their normal motion or position, it can irritate nearby nerves. We call that a vertebral subluxation. Because the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body, chiropractic care has been known to help a wide variety of health problems.

Maybe you know someone who has been told that it’s “all in their head” or that they’ll have to “learn to live with it.” Worse, someone who thinks they have a muscle relaxer shortage! Send them our way. Or, forward our newsletter by clicking the "Email a Friend" link below.

Organic Foods - Unplugged!

It’s exciting to see all the interest in organic foods, pure drinking water, exercise and fitness.

Yet, many of these well-intentioned, health-conscience people are wasting their money.

If you know someone who is shopping organically and reducing their dependence upon processed foods, but not getting regularly adjusted, they may be overlooking a key point.

Let’s say you go to your favorite grocery store for your weekly shopping. And because you’ve wisely shopped the perimeter of the store where the fresh foods are, you return home and put things away in your refrigerator.

But you overlooked one little detail. Your refrigerator isn’t plugged in! It has a major vertebral subluxation at the electrical outlet.

In the same way your body cannot properly digest, assimilate and eliminate foods with a vertebral subluxation interfering with your digestive system, your refrigerator cannot preserve, protect and prolong the vitality of your foods without a properly functioning electrical system.

Your nervous system runs the whole show. If it doesn’t work right, you don’t work right. And if you’re not working right you can’t fully benefit from organic food, gym membership and other healthy habits.
