Summer is coming to an end and it's that special time of year when we all focus on going BACK to school. You've got plenty to do: backpacks to buy, new teachers to meet, and classes to sign up for. On your long to-do list, don't forget to add chiropractic care!! Here are some tips for a healthy start to a new school year!
‼️ THE BACKPACK‼️
Look for a backpack with ergonomic straps that are wide and padded. Try to find one with additional padding on the lower back area.
Be mindful of how your child wears it. Both shoulder straps should be worn, and the backpack should be snug against your child's back. The backpack shouldn't go much lower than your child's backside, and should not reach their legs. When packing the backpack, put the heaviest items (like books) closest to the body, with lighter and oddly-shaped items furthest away. Be sure that the straps are adjusted properly so weight is evenly distributed.
‼️‼️STRETCH‼️‼️
Stretching is always important for your spine's health, but especially so if the summer vacation was a little bit less active than usual. Although kids are generally more flexible than adults, be sure that your child knows some stretches before heading back. Before engaging in any strenuous activity, your child should warm up and stretch 10-15 minutes and also include a cool down after a workout. Teach them about proper posture while seated, which means books/tablets held at eye level, feet flat on the floor, and their back up against the back of their seat. With proper posture, your child will greatly reduce their chance of suffering from back, neck, and shoulder pain.
‼️‼️CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS‼️‼️
A healthy nervous system will have your body communicating and operating as it should, including the immune system. Heading back to school means exposure to many bugs and viruses, so it's especially important that your child's immune system is functioning at its best. With regular chiropractic care, your child's nervous system will be operating at 100%, keeping your kid happy and healthy.

Happy wellness Wednesday!!!

Do you know why it’s important to exfoliate?

The skin is the body’s largest organ and is made up of water, proteins, lipids, and different minerals, and chemicals. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour. This is about 1.5 pounds A YEAR. By the age of 70 the average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin in their life time!

What is subluxation? Subluxation is a term that is used when a joint doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to, whether it’s simply not moving how it should or it’s misaligned. Subluxation leads to numbness, tingling, pain, and burning in that area of the body.

A common area that tends to subluxate is the vertebrae of the spine, otherwise commonly diagnosed as a spinal subluxation. People are most familiar with this type of subluxation because they go to the chiropractor, who can reduce or completely relieve their symptoms. However, people suffering from other types of subluxations in other joints can also find relief. Feet, shoulders, ribs, wrists, etc. can all subluxate and thus be adjusted by a chiropractor.

“Everyone knows that visiting a chiropractor can lead to significant improvements in wellness for adults. However, you don’t have to be a grown-up to enjoy the many advantages offered by chiropractic care. Kids are also welcome in our chiropractor’s office, and that’s a fantastic thing for both their health and their parents’ peace of mind. The benefits of chiropractic care for children are numerous. Most children will take plenty of tumbles as they learn to crawl, walk, run, and engage in games, sports, and other physical activities. While small stumbles may not seem to cause extensive discomfort, they can cause shifts in the child’s musculoskeletal system that set the stage for subluxations. These misalignments can press on spinal nerves and interfere with the efficient function of the child’s nervous system, harming their body’s ability to function optimally. Correcting these misalignments can improve a child’s wellness and help to head off future problems.

How Pediatric Chiropractic Works
Children aren’t just small adults. As any parent knows, children’s young bodies are growing and changing at an amazing rate. While this allows chiropractic care to be particularly effective for kids, it also means that treating them requires more than a good bedside manner and plenty of patience for wiggling. As the American Chiropractic Association explains, children’s joints are still forming, so adjustments should generally be delivered more quickly and with less force. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments require changes in depth, contacts, and technique. That’s why the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) offers specialized training programs for chiropractors who want to offer pediatric chiropractic services.

What to Expect:

-Better Sleep: Tension, discomfort, and dysfunction can make falling and staying asleep difficult. By alleviating these issues, chiropractic care can improve children’s sleep and help them to get the rest that they need to function effectively.
-Improved Attitude and Behavior: As anyone who has dealt with an overtired child will testify, better sleep can improve a child’s outlook and conduct. In addition, reducing problems in the neurological system by treating subluxations can also foster better attitudes and improved behavior.
-Better Immune System Function: Like the rest of a child’s body, their immune system is immature. Subluxations that impair neurological function can interfere with the proper function of the immune system. Correcting these misalignments with expert chiropractic care supports the child’s immune system and facilitates its effective function.”

It is never too early to improve wellness with chiropractic care. Call us today and learn more!
