Whats Happening at Bucek Chiropractic - October 2017

October 2017


Breast Health and Chiropractic
Did you know that the American Cancer Centers of America have chiropractic physicians on staff to provide treatment to patients going through cancer treatment 1? Since October is “Breast Cancer Awareness” month, it would be beneficial to think about all avenues that help keep the women in our lives healthy.  Proper alignment reduces stress on the nerves, reducing stress in the body leading to better immunity. Better alignment and posture at the base of the neck and upper back helps reduce stress on the nerves that travel to breast tissues leading to better breast health.

 A simple check up here in the office can inform someone whether or not there is stress along the nerve before developing a single symptom! Wouldn’t it make sense to take advantage of chiropractic care prior to the body getting so weak and sick? In fact, studies as far back as twenty years ago reported how the immune system gets stronger with regular chiropractic care.2

Stretch of the Month—Knee to Chest
Experiencing lower back pain? Then this is a great stretch for you--it helps loosen up the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. Be sure to try and keep your long leg flat against the floor. Hold for 15-30 seconds and perform a couple times a day to start.

 Activity Challenge—
30 minutes of activity per day
For October, let’s try and get a good habit going if you haven’t been active. Shoot for 30 minutes of activity each day.  The simplest thing that you can do is walk. A good guideline for exertion can be whether or not you would be able to hold a conversation with someone if they were walking with you. If you could, walk quicker! If you would have to catch your breath every few words, then you’re at a good pace. Let this be a starting point for you if you’re looking to get healthier—you have to start somewhere!

In the Kitchen—Slow Cooker Beef and Carrots over Brown Jasmine Rice
This time of year, it isn’t tough to find root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc.) at the local farmer’s markets or Co-Ops. Here’s a simple recipe that you can throw together in your slow cooker using fresh ingredients that will be ready for you when you get home after work! The recipe below serves about four.
Ingredients: 2-lb boneless ground chuck shoulder roast, 2-lbs carrots (peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces), 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, one low-sodium seasoning pack (whatever flavor you wish—McCormick Grill Mates work great!).
Directions: Place shoulder roast in bottom of slow cooker, add olive oil and red wine vinegar to roast. Add carrots and cover contents with seasoning packet. Set cooker to low and cook 8 hours. After 8 hours, shred the beef and add it and the carrots to bed of brown jasmine rice.

Featured Product
For those with chronic pain, we now offer a new treatment that will be a difference-maker! Rapid Release Therapy uses vibration at a specific frequency to break up scar tissue. The number of treatments and duration of those treatments depends on the chronicity and severity; however, everyone that has received the treatment in the office so far has noticed a significant difference in their pain and mobility. We are offering a complimentary session on one treatment area with this new therapy to all patients that would benefit from its use

Staying Healthy this Flu Season—6 simple steps

Image
It’s that time of year again—flu season. Between the time where the kids are getting off to school again and spring break, it’s that time of year when the flu seems to affect our daily lives again. So, here’s some helpful tips on how to keep you and your family healthy this flu season. 1)   Wash your hands frequently, and avoid the anti-bacterial products Flu is a virus, not a bacteria; and you have normal flora (bacteria that’s supposed to be there) on your skin that helps as the first line of defense. Using regular hand soap and washing with really warm water for 30 seconds will do the trick to get rid of the virus before it has a chance to infect you. 2)  Get plenty of sleep Your brain heals and repairs your body when you achieve “REM” (or, deep) sleep. So, be sure to have good “sleep hygiene” to ensure a good night’s rest. Good habits include, but are not limited to:  avoid glowing screens a half hour before bed, have the same bed time routine each night...
