Healthy Back Habits
We are creatures of… habit. Many chronic health issues are the result of choices we’ve made for years. They can add up to health challenges that may prove difficult or impossible to correct.
Here are three habits for a happy spine for years to come:
1. Maintain Good Posture: Just as looking both ways before crossing the street was engrained in our minds at a young age, so should proper posture. Good posture reduces the stress to the supporting muscles and ligaments of your spine.
2. Avoid Disc Risks: Some sports and popular activities have been aptly dubbed “disc risks.” Become more mindful about the impact on your spine from things like roller coasters and extreme sports activities.
3. Stand More Sit Less: Let’s face it—most of us sit a lot. We sit at home, at work, and even during social events. Get up and walk each hour.
Boost Your Immune System For the Holidays
The holiday season is fast approaching and sometimes it brings more than joy. With year-end deadlines, travel and social obligations, it also means stress. It’s a common time of the year when our bodies become drained leading to illness. Here’s how you can ensure peak holiday health.
Incorporate more Vitamin C into your diet. This means choosing foods like oranges, red peppers and broccoli.
Skip the sugar. We tend to lose sight of eating well over the holidays and indulge in things (and amounts) that we usually wouldn’t, stressing our body.
Wash your hands. Avoid introducing germs into your body by not rubbing your mouth, eyes and nose.
Get adjusted. When your nervous system is working properly, so are other critical systems important to your health. While chiropractic care isn’t a treatment for colds or the flu, adjustments can help manage stress and keep your immune system strong.

I have just finished reading (for the first time) your eNews, from the current offering back to November 2019. Your guidance is well presented and makes good sense. I cannot practice all your suggestions (I am 90 years old), but so many of the items are doable and excellent reminders to keep up the exercise and eat nutritionally well. At present, I have no need for your service, but I have your contact information if needed. Thank you very much for the valuable flow of valuable guidance.
