Hello friends!  It is a wonderful Wednesday here in Newtown and we are ready to help you and your loved ones towards a healthier life!  I am planning to use these blog posts to spread the word about this fantastic health creating Chiropractic Lifestyle!!  For many the Chiropractic Lifestyle starts with the most important basic step of keeping your spinal column motioning properly and free from interferences!  The brain and nervous system control and coordinate each and every function of the body!  There is not one thing happening in your body right now that is not being controlled or coordinated by the brain through the spinal cord.  If we were to create a computer (even with today's microchip technology) that did everything the brain did in a 24 hour period, It would have to be as tall as the Empire State Building, as big as Houston Texas and water cooled by the Hudson River!!!!  Stresses caused by physical,chemical and emotional events can effect our spine leading to miscommunications from the brain to the rest of the organs, glands, muscles and body systems.  These may be big events like auto accidents, slips  or repetitive work habits.  The real culprits however, are the small things we do each day.  Fender benders with no pain, fall and catch ourselves is sometimes worse than falling and breaking a bone.  Chemical stresses like sugar, artificial sweeteners, nicotine, caffeine and processed foods.  These things change the way we sleep, tax our adrenals, relax or tighten muscles.  The last and most often overlooked stress is emotional.  Worry, rushing, fear!  Teenagers, parents, bosses, teachers, cell phones ringing, traffic jams, deadlines!  These things have the greatest effect on us. They tighten muscles, change breathing habits and upset sleep.  These stresses combined can have devastating effects  on our health, structure, wellness and immune system.  The research that correlates Chiropractic Wellness  with a decrease in these dangers is growing every day and I plan on sharing them with you.  Most of us go about our lives ignoring or covering up these little warning signs or simply passing them along as normal par for the course events.  But believe me I see it every day in my practice.  By the time someone feels the pain, gains the weight, hears the diagnosis, the problem has been there for a long time.  It would benefit you to get a Chiropractic checkup as soon as possible since many of these misalignments are symptom free until it is a much bigger problem and you may not even know they are there.  If you are currently under Chiropractic Care then good for you!!  Keep up the good work! 

There are other steps included in living a healthy lifestyle and research shows that people who incorporate Chiropractic Wellness often will include these other things as well.  We will discuss these in future posts.  If you have linked onto this blog then chances are you are already on my website.  If you have any questions there is a contact us tab at the top categories.  Our website also has hundreds of articles concerning all kinds of health and wellness topics feel free to browse it often.  In the meanwhile if you have a question let me know.  If you know anyone who would benefit from meeting me then refer them over.  Remember consultations are always free and on me.  Also, remember that I will never move forward with any case if I am not confident that I can be of help.  Have a great day! 

In Health,
