JINGLE BONES, JINGLE BONES!

Tis' the season to enjoy, give thanks, a bissle egg nog (a little), and just a couple preventative thoughts for ya'll: when your schlepping in the Christmas tree please make sure you lift properly, bend those legs and keep that spine straight. A wrapping note:...always remember and never forget to be nice to your spine, soo....marathon wrapping of gifts is best done sitting at a table not cross legged on the floor. I don't want to be a scrooge, but your spinal health is my priority so listen to what Dr. Ray has to say. God bless all...

A HAPPY HOLIDAY TO EVERYONE!!!

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff 

 

Fall Clean Up Time

I looked outside my bedroom window today and saw five trillion leaves on my lawn. Always remember and never forget, when you do outdoor yearly chores "i.e.- leaf raking, planting, mulching, weeding, etc..." please remember MODERATION is the word to keep in mind. It's always best to do the chores in chunks of time, not all at once. All at once increase the odds of injury and activating preexisting degenerative changes that we all have due to aging and life. As we get older, we can continue to do most of what we did years ago, but a little more thought needs to go into the process. 

P.s.- Thanks for coming in during our "Thank You Week". We always appreciate and love our patients.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Treat...or treat

As All Hallows Eve approaches, I couldn't help but think of the double treat I obtain as I lay my hands on my beautiful patients. It is a treat "and a blessing" to watch the body heal and start to work better through chiropractic adjustments and other tools. I can not help but feel the treat and "honor" it is to meet, get to know, and help the people of Chester County low, these past 21 years. So, I feel like I am doubly treated this Halloween. Enjoy the Halloween festivities and if your wondering...my favorite are the mini Baby Ruths, I don't need the large ones!!!! Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

M O D E R A T I O N

I've tried my best to explain to our patients over the years how important the word "moderation" is. Sometimes I have learned that talking to my patients is like talking to my adult children. I know the words are coming out of my mouth, but I can tell I'm not being listened too haha! So to reiterate, chores that are done around the home only certain times of the year can become problematic for our spinal health if we don't do the chores with "moderation." Whether it's snow blowing, snow shoveling, weeding, mulching, leaf raking, deck washing, etc, etc.- Please always remember and never forget that if these are done a little bit at a time, it will decrease the odds of YOU hurting yourself and having an injury. So, I beg of you to heed these words and remember MODERATION.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray

Backpack Reminder from Dr. Ray

Dis-fucntion to the vertebral column comes in many ways. Some apparent, some disguised. Even though young spines are more durable than "ours" they still can be affected by daily activities. One of these that has been more of a problem in recent years is the ridiculous weight of our childrens backpacks. In recent years, it's been shown that these backpacks can create wear and tear problems to the joints and the soft tissue while our kids have them on their bodies. They can also have a later effect on their posture when they don't have them on. SO JUST A REMINDER PARENTS: please check your young child's backpacks to make sure they are not to heavy and remind the older kids to bring home the books that are only needed on a daily basis. I have seen more problems with child's spines in the past 10 years than ever before. Always a pleasure and of course yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Where did the summer of 2011 go?

The summer of 2011....Is it really over? 

It's incredible, the passage of time- isn't. It is incredible to believe that Resnick Chiropractic has been fortunate enough to be delivering chiropractic care in Chester County for going on 21 years. It's been a blessing to be able to care for you, and I pray that I have the privilege to continue to do so. To be able to, through education, chiropractic, and loving care, help to optimize the quality of your lives...that's a real joy. Just want to thank you all for trusting me all these years and giving me the opportunity to do what I love to do. 

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray

Lets talk Laptops

An important reminder from Dr. Ray: Increasing laptop usage elevates the odds of ridiculous ergonomics (proper work station placement). In other words- place your laptop on a table so your posture can be like your using a desktop computer. PLEASE don't fall into the trap of working on your laptop rolled in a ball on your bed or sofa. It is really bad for your spinal alignment and health (Not to mention Quasimodo syndrome)!!! That's why Resnick Chiropractic is here, to help with your spinal health! So please listen to Dr. Ray and don't forget to get into the office for an adjustment. 

Yours for good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Brain Health

Hey everybody,

Hope ya'll are doing fantastic. I'm a little sluggish myself because my brain is still a bit singed from last weeks 145 degree weather, or something like that! Speaking about our brains, please remember good brain health. So...

- eat healthy food (lots of fruits and veggies)

- get enough sleep (6-8 hours)

- exercise 3-4 times a week

- and keep those positive, mental attitudes going

Speak to you soon,

Yours in good health Dr. Ray and staff

Water, Water Everywhere

Drinking enough water is important all year round to help the body hydrate itself and help with flushing out toxins. BUT with the heat of the summer, always remember and never forget to please make sure you drink enough water if your outside gardening, exercising, or just sitting around at the beach. Dehydration can happen to anybody at anytime, so drink up. Let's hear it for good old H2O. Stay healthy,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Celebrating Your Independence

First lets wish you all a safe and enjoyable 4th of July for everyone and their families. Don't forget to put on enough sunscreen and please be diligent with watching the little kids at the beach and the pool. With independence, comes responsibilities. Dr. Ray wants to remind everyone to accept their responsibilities to live healthy lifestyles and be timely with your preventative health care. So, see your dentist at least once a year, have your mammograms done timely, have your OB checkups done when due, check those prostates and p.s.a., go for a colonoscopy if its time for it, and DON'T WAIT FOR YOUR SPINE TO BLOW! Get in for preventative chiro-care. Again, have a great 4th and remember: if you have a 5th on the 4th, you may not be able to go fourth on the fifth...

Note- Please check our office Facebook for our new summer hours as they are in effect July 5th-August 31st 2011!

Summer Fun and Tips to Stay Healthy this Season

Check back in a week for updates and ideas from Dr. Ray and staff on how to enjoy this hot summer while maintaining a healthy lifestyle with chiropractic!

  

It's April, sooooo...

...So yippee! Our college kids are coming home. Please be careful when you empty out their apartments at school or houses. Make sure to lift properly whatever the weight!!! Bend with the knees and keep your back as straight as you can while lifting those mega-heavy organic chemistry books, or whichever. Try your best to delegate so you don't bare the brunt of the college exodus. Not a bad idea to get into the office for an adjustment before you shlepp up to college. Tell your college children to give the office a call since they could use chiropractic care after they abused their bodies this past year at school. HAPPY GRADUATION TO ALL!

Sincerely,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Lets all say goodbye to the Winter of 2011, Hip Hip Horray!

I trust you all survived with minimal or no damage to your homes and some residual but not bad stiff backs from this winter of our discontent. So just a little precaution: continue to do some extra stretching, get adjusted, use some moist heat on your body to get rid of the "snow stiffness," and please with spring cleaning impending, do it smartly and with moderation. Always remember and never forget to treat your spine with love.

From Dr. Ray and Staff

Friendly Immune System Tips from Dr. Ray

Some tips from Dr. Ray to keep you going during this winter from "you know where!":

- If your really sick stay home so you don't give your germs to everyone else

- If you sneeze, sneeze into your arm not your hand since the hand is one of the dirties parts of the body to begin with

- Arguably the biggest help to stay healthy: WASH YOUR HANDS  more than you normally do

- Last, it wouldn't hurt to take a couple of extra Vitamin C's daily

Stay healthy my friends,

Dr. Ray and staff
