Safe Kids Grand Forks will be checking seats tomorrow, March 12 from 4 - 7 p.m. at Rydell Cars in Grand Forks. Car seat technicians will be on hand to check for the proper seat selection for your child's age and weight and the proper use and installation in your car. You will find the SAFE KIDS team inside door 6 on the south side by the service area.

The tether reduces head movement in a crash and should always be used for forward‑facing car seats—no matter how the seat is installed. This one step makes a big difference. Get more car seat safety info: https://www.safety-connection.org/caregiver/

⏰ Spring Forward, Sleep Well!

We shared tips on how to optimize your sleep environment and today is the ultimate test: Daylight Saving Time has officially arrived. While we "lose" an hour of sleep, we don't have to lose our momentum on those healthy habits!

That one-hour shift can do more than just make you reach for an extra coffee; it can temporarily affect your circadian rhythm and lead to muscle tension or grogginess.

3 Quick Tips to Adjust Today:
☀️ Soak Up the Sun: Try to get at least 15–20 minutes of natural sunlight this morning. It helps reset your internal clock and boosts your mood.
☀️Keep Moving: A light walk or some gentle stretching will help wake up your joints and shake off that "lost hour" stiffness.
☀️Stick to the Routine: Even if you feel tired, try to go to bed at your usual time tonight to help your body sync up faster with the new schedule.

Your spine and your sleep are deeply connected. If you’re finding it hard to get comfortable or waking up with "spring forward" aches and pains, we’re here to help get you back in alignment.

How are you feeling after the time change? Let us know in the comments! 👇

What comes first: chronic pain…or sleep problems?

For many people, the two go hand in hand. And research shows that’s probably no coincidence. A review of 20 research studies, involving more than 200,000 adults, showed robust evidence of an association between sleep-related problems and chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. In fact, the study found them to be “bidirectionally associated,” meaning they appear to feed into one another.

Chiropractic care can help you stay pain free and catch some much needed rest.

Chiropractic care can help you reduce pain, increase mobility, and catch more Zzz's 😴

Researchers recommend sleeping for 7-9 hours per night. Even small deficits can pose problems like decreased athleticism, diminished brain function, increased inflammation, and a greater likelihood to get sick; sleeping only 6 hours per night makes you four times more likely to catch a cold when compared to sleeping 7 or more hours. Follow these additional tips for better sleep:

⏰Limit screen time before retiring- the blue light emitted from computer monitors, phones, and TVs can limit melatonin production and adversely affect sleep. Try reading from a book or magazine instead.

⏰Ideally, eat your last meal 3-4 hours before bedtime and especially limit heavy, spicy or high-fat foods. Reduce fluid intake before bedtime to minimize bathroom breaks. Limit caffeine in the afternoon and evening- caffeine has a half-life of 6-9 hours and can keep you awake long after the last sip.

⏰Stick to a sleep schedule, try to retire and arise at the same time each day, including weekends.

⏰Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillow. Need tips to improve sleep posture- Ask for more info at your next appointment.
