Welcome to February, when we celebrate our healthy hearts and what we can do to keep them pumping in a healthier rhythm for the rest of our lives!  The first step is to recognize the appropriate steps toward heart disease. One fun-filled, convenient lifestyle may be speeding you up the path to heart disease faster than you think. Do you already have high blood pressure? Are you overweight, do not exercise, and consume a lot of processed, fatty, calorie-laden, fiber-deficient, and nutrient-deficient foods? Add smoking to the list, and you may be a ticking time bomb. For two simple reasons, heart health is a hot topic these days: First, our poor dietary choices put us at high risk for heart disease; and second, wise food choices and other natural proactive measures can protect the heart and keep that muscle pumping stronger than ever. Chiropractic care is a great step: Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women today. Although chiropractic care is most commonly as

What is Spinal Cord Stimulation? First and foremost, Spinal Cord Stimulation should only be explored if the pain is chronic (lasting more than six months) and all other non-invasive options have been exhausted. Low electrical waves are sent into the spinal cord to suppress or greatly mask pain signals to the brain. Individuals report the sensation as warm and tingly, a magnificent contrast to the previously terrible pain. How Spinal Cord Stimulation Does It Work? A small box is implanted beneath the individual's skin after a quick, minimally invasive medical procedure. This little metal box is placed beneath the skin and emits electrical pulses that suppress pain signals. A rechargeable battery has been introduced as a result of recent technological advancements. A rechargeable battery allows the person to avoid the need for a surgical replacement, allowing them to stay out of the operating room. What Conditions Can Spinal Cord Stimulation Help With? Spinal Cord Stimulation is a sa

You've probably never heard of hydrotherapy, or if you have, you're probably clueless about what it is. It's possible that putting the words together will give you some idea of what it is, but there's a lot more to it than that. What are the benefits of hydrotherapy? What is the purpose of it? Those and other questions will be addressed!  What is Hydrotherapy? Did you know that modern-day hydrotherapy dates back to the nineteenth century? That's right; this ostensibly novel medicine has existed for longer than any of us! The use of water for therapeutic purposes is known as hydrotherapy.
