Bridge Trivia

http://www.bridgechiropractic.com/ 360-574-5944 Trivia Question: Which is stronger concrete or bone?
Answer: Bone
Useless Fact: Human bones can actually resist 40 times more stress than concrete. Don't believe it is true? Then picture a piece of concrete the size of a bone and imagine how easily it would break.

Adults are Affected!

http://www.bridgechiropractic.com/ 360-574-5944   Statistics show that over 80% of adults are affected by back and neck pain. This is usually caused by a misalignment in the spine, which impacts the nervous system and may result in severe pain or illness.  

 

Vertebral subluxation is a mis-alignment of one or more spinal vertebrae which interferes with the spinal cord and/or spinal nerves. Such subluxations are caused by physical, mental, and chemical stress.

The purpose of the nervous system is to control and coordinate the function of every system, organ, tissue and cell in the body, thus maintaining a 100% state of health and wellbeing. The nervous system is responsible for sending messages to and from your brain, keeping communication open between the "boss" (your brain) and all of the hard workers (your body and its systems). A subluxation can alter or prevent the flow of impulses from the brain to the rest of your body. Over a period of time, vertebral subluxation can cause "dis-ease," or lack of health because it prevents your body and its various systems (nervous, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, immune, etc.) from performing at their highest potential.
Some of the effects of spinal mis-alignment are listed below. The bones in the table are from the top of your spine to the bottom. Chiropractors correct these mis-alignments or Vertebral Subluxations by delivering a safe, gentle and specific force known as a chiropractic adjustment.

Bridge Chiropractic: T'was A Chiropractic Christmas!

http://www.bridgechiropractic.com/ 360-574-5944

T’was the day before Christmas,

but there was no cheer.
No jingle bells jingled, no sound of reindeer.
The word had gone out that Santa was sick.
There would be no visit from jolly St. Nick.

The people were sad; no gaiety sounded.
For Christmas had come,

but Santa was grounded.
He drove down the road,

and what should he see?
But a sign for a doctor, who was a D.C.

Now Santa was not one to like a new tactic,
But all else had failed, so he tried Chiropractic.
He entered the office and saw at a glance,
in a place such as this, illness hasn’t a chance.

The office staff smiled, the music was sappy,
with all of the patients contented and happy.
In a very short time, to judge by the clock,
he was in the adjusting room, talking to Doc.

It must be the hurry, the tension and all,
I simply can’t seem to get on the ball.
Life used to be easy;

just kids, toys and whistles,
now I dodge smog, spaceships and missiles.

And Doc, take a look at the size of this pack!
Have you any idea what it does to my back?
Poor Santa was miserable and just barely able,
with the help of the Doctor, to get on the table.

The Doctor was gentle;

without a fuss or a tussle
he examined the vertebrae

and relaxed every muscle.
He spotted trouble and then with a click,
started aligning the spine of old St. Nick.

Santa felt aches and pains slipping away
and in no time at all he began to feel gay.(really?)
The air was a tingle with new fallen snow
and a healthy Kris Kringle was rarin’ to go.

As he went out the door, he threw them a kiss;
why, it had been centuries

since he felt good as this!
Then once more he shouldered

the bag full of toys,
his heart overflowing with true Christmas joys.

 

Merry Christmas!

Have a safe and

happy holiday.

Holiday Stress Increases Back and Other Health Risks

http://www.bridgechiropractic.com/ 360-574-5944  Take a Few Steps to Protect Your Back and General Health Over the Holidays.....

Be aware of how you lift things like heavy packages, an armload of firewood or that frozen turkey. It's so easy to just bend over and pick up something too heavy. Lifting with your legs instead of your back, as well as keeping heavy items close to your body as you lift, may save you a trip to the chiropractor and certainly will minimize the chances of injury. 

If you're doing the cooking and standing for extended periods of time, use a foot rest, stack of books or pieces of wood to elevate one foot about six inches above the floor. This will relieve tired leg and back muscles. When you use a foot rest and alternate each foot, it also helps to improve your posture.

Spine and Snow

http://www.bridgechiropractic.com/ 360-574-5944  "Are you one of those people who knows when it is going to rain because your joints hurt? Are your joints sensitive to cold weather? If so, you are not alone.

Joint pain from either cold or rainy weather is typically due to pre-arthritis or arthritis of the joints. The reason that joints ache when the weather shifts is debatable. Many experts feel as though scar tissue is at the source of this pain.
As it turns out, scar tissue is believed to be very sensitive to the changes in barometric pressure that come with rain as well as extreme changes in temperature.
Once one of our joints has been injured in a fall, motor vehicle accident, work injury, etc., the process of joint degeneration begins. The initial injury causes irritation of the joint. The irritation leads to inflammation which later cause scar tissue formation. Scar tissue not only limits joint motion but can be a source of pain itself. This is why some long lasting chronic joint problems are associated with both pain and stiffness..."
