Did you know that Astronauts can lose up to 20% of their bone and muscle mass in just a week in space? Without any gravity, their strength deteriorates. This is the reason why they’re required to work out every day in space for at least 2 hours to try and maintain their bone density and muscle strength. Even then, when they return from space, they have to go through extensive physical therapy.

The point here is that without proper stress (in this scenario, gravity) on the body it cannot grow and be healthy. Challenging your body is the only way to grow. The old adage ‘use it or lose it’ is true!

Furthermore, it is not enough to exercise, it’s also important to mix things up. If you are doing mostly cardio, it’s important to mix in resistance. Maybe try a sport that requires coordination like tennis or pickleball. Variety causes your brain and body to adapt, and when that happens your body will be at its most dynamic.

This, by the way, also applies to mental acuity. Read a new genre of book. Watch a different type of movie. Practice silence. These variations to your mental input will produce great results and keep your brain challenged and healthy. Find something new to try this week!

Have a great week,

A few weeks ago in this e-mail, I shared one of our core values: Relentless Pursuit of Mastery. Today, I’d like to touch on another: Integrity In Our Actions.

We act with good intentions and we are honest in our dealings with one another, with our patients, and with the community. We are just as enthusiastic about the successes of others as we are for our own.

Integrity and transparency in the healthcare professions can sometimes feel like a unicorn – rare & mythical. We hope to buck that trend by always promising to communicate openly and honestly, and helping you get the care you need, even if that sometimes means referring you to another trusted provider. We are upfront about our phases of care, expectations, and your chiropractic investment.

Simply put, we do our very best to treat you like we’d want someone to treat a member of our own family.

Have a great week,

Dr. Jane

Have you ever asked yourself if this is the only way? Living with chronic aches. Pain. Suffering.

Did you forget what it was like to feel good? To wake up without any pain?

Here is the good news. It doesn’t have to always be the way it is. We are self-healing organisms.

When we get a scratch on our skin, our cells regenerate and heal. Studies show that if you can
quit smoking soon enough your lungs can return to 95% of capacity.

This amazing innate superpower is in all of us.

All we need is to do is release that innate ability from any hindrance or block.

So when you hear or say “this is just the way it is” my hope is that you will remember that better days are possible because your body was made for it and we’re here to help.

Have a great week,

Dr. Jane
