Dr. Power Asks...
Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
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?
