Headaches and Chiro...

There are many people that suffer from recurring headaches and unfortunately many of these people don't even think of trying chiropractic for there problem. This is because many people don't realize that the spinal column begins right behind the earlobe. Many humans think the spinal column begins at the base of the neck where the first vertebrae is. But in fact, the first vertebrae is right below the bottom of our skull...

Unfortunately the muscles/joints/ligaments/soft tissue that help support our skull are the same ones that help move and rotate our head- therefore they are over worked and always stressed. The recurring effort that these muscles produce often will create muscle spasms at the base of our skull. This is by far the most common cause of recurring headaches, and that is why through years of adjusting people chiropractic has been successful in helping patients with headaches. 

For anyone you know with recurring headache problems, implore on them to get in touch with Resnick Chiropractic. It has been amazing to see the success we have had in helping people with headaches. Chiropractic really works!!! 

Have a safe and fun filled 4th! And of course...Always remember and never forget "If you have a 5th on the 4th you may not be able to go fourth on the fifth."

Yours in good health,

Watch your Sitting...

We may have chatted about this before (my blog memory is not as good as it used to be!) but it certainly is important enough to reiterate...

If you have a chance go online and look up some articles concerning "Sitting is the new Smoking."
There have been reports and studies that have proven that the amount we sit these days is detrimental to our health on many levels, not just a stiff back or achy legs.

Here is a list of some of the negative aspects of too much sitting:
1- Greater risk of cancer
2- Increase in obesity
3- Increase in diabetes
4- Susceptible to muscle issues
5- Higher risk of depression
6- Higher risk of circulatory issues

I know this sounds scary since between work, TV watching, etc. we all sit a lot. Please be conscious of this and work on moving more to offset the negative effects of sitting. Of course, getting adjusted with chiropractic care is another thing to incorporate to help the body move better.

We are always here to answer your questions. Happy Father's Day to one and all.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff
