Did You Know? Chiropractic Can Help With Allergies

AHN — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 04:36:38 +0000

The next time you sneeze, it may be a good time to visit a chiropractor. Yes, a chiropractor. Most people never think about it, but chiropractic care can help provide allergy relief.

That’s because chiropractic care, often thought necessary for only back and neck problems, can help with keeping the body operating at peak performance. The body’s immune system helps with preventing disease and infection, dealing with stress and overall well being. The immune system also tackles the invasion in a body of foreign substances such as pollution, dust, dead cells, etc.

Chiropractic care releases stress on a patient’s nervous system. This allows the immune system to operate more effectively, which is beneficial to anyone and especially those suffering from allergies.

Everyone can benefit from a healthy spine. Spinal health can be as important for your overall healing as proper nutrition.

A healthy spine can improve your life - call AHN to set up your family’s checkup!

Acupuncture Can Revitalize Your Digestive System

AHN — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 04:35:54 +0000

More than 95 million Americans suffer from digestive disorders ranging from constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome to more serious conditions such as acid reflux (GERD), ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. In fact, more than 35 million physician office visits a year are due to gastrointestinal complaints. Reports are confirming that acupuncture and Oriental medicine can offer relief from even the most complex digestive problems.

According to Oriental medical theory, most digestive disorders are due to disharmony in the spleen and stomach. The spleen plays a central part in the health and vitality of the body, taking a lead role in the assimilation of nutrients and maintenance of physical strength. It turns digested food from the stomach into usable nutrients and qi (energy).

By taking into account a person’s constitution and varied symptoms, a treatment plan is designed specifically for the individual to bring their “middle” back into harmony and optimize the proper functioning of the digestive system. A variety of techniques can be used during treatment including acupuncture, lifestyle/dietary recommendations and energetic exercises to restore digestive health.

Why Is Exercise So Important During the Winter Months?

AHN — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:34:39 +0000

When it gets dark and cold outside, motivating yourself to keep exercising is even more difficult than usual, however it is vital that you remain fit and healthy as the winter sets in. Here are some reasons why:

1. Extra Eating - during the winter and especially over Christmas we tend to eat more than we would normally. Exercising is a great way to burn those extra calories and keep yourself in shape so when it comes to summer – there is less hard work to do!

2. Seasonal Affective Disorder - or as it is more commonly known S.A.D is something which affects many people. This is caused by a combination of lack of sunshine, poor nutrition and a decrease in activity and can cause forms of depression over the winter months. Exercise can help combat S.A.D as when you exercise your body release endorphins which keep the blues at bay.

3. Coughs, Colds and Chest Infections - we all know that the spread of illness increases during the winter months and exercising can help you to stay fit and healthy and fight infection more effectively. By exercising you are boosting your immune system and therefore will more than likely skip the illnesses and remain on top form.

It can be more difficult to motivate yourself to exercise when the weather gets cold and the evenings are darker earlier. We suggest getting yourself a winter exercise buddy and both getting a gym membership, that way you can keep each other motivated during those times when it’s difficult. You can also motivate yourself by trying new exercises. You can also hire a personal trainer to kick your butt into shape. Having someone hold you accountable for appointments will help keep your motivation going throughout these winter months! No matter what, as long as you’re moving and staying active, you will feel better!

AHN has a personal trainer that can help you get in top shape! If you’re looking to tone up, shed some pounds or focus on flexbility and core strength, give us a call today and we can get you set up with an appointment!

Benefits of Massages During the Winter

AHN — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:26:14 +0000

Regular therapeutic massage can provide significant advantages beyond the immediate benefit of relaxation. People who experience high levels of stress tend to get sick more than others. When stress is combined with a lack of sleep and poor nutrition, our body’s ability to naturally protect itself against bacteria and infection is greatly reduced. Numerous studies have indicated that massage increases the immune system’s level of the body’s natural “killer cells,” which improve the body’s overall immune function.

Regular massage therapy treatments help boost the immune system. When your immune system is stronger, your body is more prepared to defend itself against those cold and flu viruses going around your workplace, school or even your home during the winter months. So keep yourself healthy during the long winter months by scheduling regular massage appointments.

Call AHN today to set yourself up for a massage.

We have relaxation, sports, pregnancy, deep tissue and hot stone massages!
