How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in Smyrna encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
Just Dance!
Can’t get into those yoga positions? Pilates just isn’t your style? Want to relax, feel great and burn calories? Dance! That’s right ~ dance!
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture recommends that adults engage in at least 30 minutes of moderately intense, or more vigorous, physical activity daily. Moderately intense exercise raises your heart rate and gets your blood pumping, and 30 minutes of dancing can certainly do that!
So sign up for a local dance class and enjoy some of the health benefits of dancing that include:
- Burning calories
- Reduced risk of osteoporosis
- Increased blood flow to the brain
- Reduction in stress
- Social interaction that wards off loneliness and depression
- Increased motor skill and agility
- Feelings of accomplishment when a new step is learned
- Reduced risk of dementia
- New friendships
And who said that exercise can’t be fun?
