Strengthening and balancing our body and Immune System, our only real defense against dis-ease! Here is our consolidation of the most helpful suggestions we have found.  GET ENOUGH SLEEP in a dark room (best for melatonin production) WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP often, for at least 20 seconds.

Pregnancy and Chiropractic

Health, News, Pregnancy and Chiropractic
Please don’t suffer through your pregnancy with back pain, headaches, leg pains, etc.  Despite what you may have heard from your mom, your aunts, your cousins, these are not “normal” symptoms of being pregnant.  Regular chiropractic care during your pregnancy has been shown to alleviate or greatly relieve most of these aggravations so that you can enjoy your pregnancy, not just suffer through it unnecessarily. A chiropractor is trained to understand the mechanical and physical aspects of what may be causing unnecessary pain or discomfort during your pregnancy, and getting adjusted while pregnant is completely safe.  Chiropractors are trained to alter their regular treatment as needed during pregnancy, following surgery, or when other conditions warrant it.  Dr. Carr has a chiropractic adjusting table specifically designed for treating women who are…

Sleep Better

Research we Recommend, Sleep, Uncategorized
A while ago we posted about getting your best sleep and we had some great tips for getting a better nights sleep, I'm going to reiterate a few of those. Don't eat or drink 2 hours before bedtime, your body will remain in active digestion mode and and you may get woken up earlier than you intended to go to the bathroom. Get adjusted! We have frequently found that getting stress off the nervous system helps a person relax better, especially with kids. Listen to white noise or relaxation CD’s before bed. Yoga can also help you relax and wind down before resting your head on the pillow. Avoid watching TV, playing video games, or surfing the internet before bed. If you have a TV in your bedroom take it out.…

Adjusting Infants

Baby Health, Health
Many people let fear take over when they think of adjusting a new born baby. These are the same people that would never question getting adjusted after a car accident, or slipping and falling on the ice. I like to ask these people, what is the most traumatic thing that you can think of that would happen to your body? How often do you squeeze through an opening the size of your head? After standing on your head for a week or more? Giving birth and being born are both events that will alter your body. Getting checked by a chiropractor is the best thing you can do, and do it as quickly as you would after getting into a car accident. Adjusting newborn infants is not the same process…

Techniques

Dr Carr continues takes many continuing education courses each year, these are a few of the techniques of care that he may use when giving you an adjustment. The Palmer Method Today, the chiropractic field is so widespread and accepted as a valid treatment that it may be hard to believe that chiropractic care was not even brought into the American mainstream until the late nineteenth century. This occurred when Doctor Daniel David Palmer set up the first-ever chiropractic practice, thus establishing the field. It was Dr. D. D. Palmer’s son, B. J. Palmer, who formulated the Palmer Method that was first taught in the Palmer School of Chiropractic (also established by D. D. Palmer), and that is still widely used today.
