One of the most famous chiropractors, Dr. B.J. Palmer, stated that nervous system disruptions called spinal subluxations can be caused by thoughts, traumas, or toxins. In other words, stresses can be placed on the human body from many causes. Thoughts: negative emotions, depression, anxiety. Traumas: car accidents, sports injuries, chronic poor posture. Toxins: pesticides, chemicals, deficiencies. Stress can come from even the unlikeliest of sources. The simple things that you do every day may be causing subluxations in your spinal column, affecting your nervous system, and therefore affecting every function and action of your body. Here's a case in point: e-mails.

Ever since Medicare first began paying for chiropractic services, the only services that Medicare Part B would pay for were the chiropractic adjustments themselves. Examinations are required by standards of care, but are not reimbursable by Medicare when performed by a chiropractor, requiring patients to cover the cost of examination themselves or have a secondary insurance company to do so.
But now comes some very exciting news for all Medicare beneficiaries, courtesy of Chiropractic Economics: Have a wonderful Independence Day, particularly as we remember the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and reflect on the sacrifices our forefathers made to secure freedom and liberty for all. Johnson Family Chiropractic will be closed on the 4th and 5th of July, and will reopen with normal business hours on Monday, July 8. Have a safe, happy, and wonderful weekend. There's a fascinating concept called "nonexercise". Have you heard of it? If not, it's roughly reverse to the concept of "catching up on sleep." You'll often hear people say that they didn't sleep very well during the week, but they're going to try to catch up on sleep during the weekend. Their idea is that a solid ten hours of sleep will refresh them and undo the damage done by a recent lack of sleep. Unfortunately, sleep scientists have shown time and again that catching up on sleep doesn't work. In the same way, office workers are becoming more and more aware of the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle and the damage that eight hours a day in a chair can do. Office workers are becoming more agreeable to the ideas of exercising and working out. But exercising for an hour or two a week cannot undo the damage inflicted by sitting to the discs, ligaments, and muscles of the low back. This is where the idea of "nonexercise" comes in. Nonexercise is all the daily activities that you do which give support to your low back, and can be as simple as standing for a while. These are the postures and activities that truly prevent low back pain and disc damage. In other words, simply remaining active during a day can be more beneficial than exercising regularly. |
