Why is chiropractic care so important during pregnancy? At its most basic premise, chiropractic will help you and your nervous system adapt during this major shift. It will help you deal with all the structural, hormonal and emotional stressors. Structurally, chiropractic will help keep your joints moving appropriately so you can make room for your growing baby. When the pelvis and low back vertebrae are moving appropriately, your nerves can freely flow to all your muscles and organs, which may result in less pain and more nutrients to baby. Other benefits seen during chiropractic during pregnancy include headache relief, decrease in nausea and overall stress reduction.

Acupuncture for Seasonal Allergies
Spring is typically allergy season, because of new growth on trees and weeds. Seasonal allergies are caused by the body’s hypersensitivity to substances in the environment, and symptoms typically involve the nose and eyes. While there are many Western medications to treat the symptoms of seasonal allergies, they often come with unwanted side effects. Acupuncture has been used to treat seasonal allergies for centuries with great success. According to traditional medicine, treatment is directed toward clearing the nasal passages, supporting the immune system and strengthening the systems of the body to prevent allergic reactions from recurring, without side effects.
Aging At Home
Many seniors would prefer to stay at home than move into a senior care home, but there are some challenges to consider. Factors like finances, physical mobility, social network, health concerns, and safety in the home are all things to think about. If you decide to remain in your home, discuss your plans with your family or a trusted advisor. It’s important to prepare your home to ensure you can live comfortably and safely there, using various aids and tools to make things easier. In-home care can also provide much-needed day-to-day support, as well as transportation to appointments and gatherings.

Smoking and Wearing Dentures?
We know that smoking can have a variety of negative effects on our health, but do you know how smoking can affect denture wearers or those with dental implants specifically? If you have dental implants and are also a smoker, your risk of dental implant failure increases. Smoking can also put you at greater risk for infection when having dental implants fitted. Healing time after any type of dental surgery is increased in smokers, since nicotine constricts your arteries and reduces blood flow to your gums. Finally, smoking can accelerate the bone loss that normally comes with losing your teeth.
Controlling High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure (hypertension) often goes unrecognized and untreated because there are no symptoms. Your pharmacist can help you reduce your risk for heart attack and stroke by: 1. Reviewing your medications, helping you take them as prescribed and managing potential side effects. 2. Teaching you how to use a blood pressure monitor properly and testing your blood pressure regularly. 3. Advising you how to maintain a healthy weight, and follow a low-sodium diet. 4. Guiding you through a step-by-step smoking cessation plan. Speak with your pharmacist today to learn more about how to keep your blood pressure under control.

Acupuncture for Headaches and Migraines
Headaches can range from being a minor frustration to becoming a severe chronic health issue, and can be caused by a variety of factors, such as tension, stress, food allergies, and eye strain. Acupuncture can be used as a drug-free remedy for headaches and migraines of all kinds, offering a safe, effective, solution with no negative interactions with other treatments. It’s thought that acupuncture may improve pain by stimulating changes to serotonin metabolism, as serotonin appears to be linked to the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines. Regular acupuncture sessions can be part of your holistic headache treatment plan!
Understanding Healthy Boundaries
We thrive when we have healthy boundaries because boundaries help us identify what’s important to us, and provide us with guidelines so we can live at our fullest potential. It is helpful to identify what healthy boundaries would look like in your life and relationships. Three questions you can ask yourself are: 1) What needs or wants have I been ignoring or avoiding in this situation/relationship? 2) What actions could I take to gain a sense of autonomy/personal responsibility in this situation/relationship? 3) What would I need to communicate verbally to gain a sense of autonomy/personal responsibility in this situation/relationship?
