4 Health Tips for Autumn & Winter

10/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Autumn has arrived and with the changing seasons comes a drastic reduction in sun exposure. For the majority of us this translates into a vitamin deficiency which can have a negative impact on our mood, health, and overall energy levels. As you know, we are all about energy! So, we wanted to provide you with a few recommendations to optimize your health and fortify your energy level this fall and winter.

Go Outside
Rain or Shine! Spending time outside has a significant impact on the brain's ability to focus and overall mood. Bundle up and head outside. It will make a difference.

Supplement Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2
Taking Vitamin D3 helps to compensate for the reduction in sunlight and is critical for the body’s production of mood enhancing hormones. Vitamin K2 allows for the absorption of D3 and directs calcium to the proper tissues.

Optimize Gut Health
Your intestinal health has a tremendous impact on brain function. Furthermore, the digestive tract creates more serotonin (the feel-good hormone) than your brain so it is incredibly important to keep it working well.
 
  • Eat healthy—We follow Eat Right For Your Type by ND Peter J. D'Adamo.
  • Limit sugar, wheat and dairy—Start small if you must, but work these bad boys out of your daily routine
  • Take a quality probiotic (we carry Standard Process Prosynbiotic)
  • Take a quality digestive enzyme (we carry Standard Process Multizyme and Zypan)

Exercise Regularly
Exercise also enhances brain function which is essential to feeling well. Research has shown time and again that exercise has better outcomes than depression medications treating depression. We are fans of yoga, weight training and attending cardio classes. We have also had fun working out along with clients in our small group personal training sessions. Figure out what works best for you and get sweaty!


Support your body this Autumn and it will support you!

Top 5 Reasons for Chiropractic Care in Gresham

10/19/2017

0 Comments

What are the most common reasons to seek chiropractic care? Check out the list below. Find out what causes these common issues and how we can help.  Number four may surprise you.

#1. Lower Back Pain
There are a number of things which can trigger back pain and stiffness of varying severity. Most commonly, muscle strain, such as acute lumbar strain (felt in the lower back), can be attributed to heavy lifting or awkward movement. Back pain relating to spinal injury can be the result of a slipped or bulging disk.

#2. Neck Pain
Neck pain often occurs due to disruption in the soft tissues and the bone and joints of the spine. The most common causes of neck pain treated by chiropractic therapy is simply due to repetitive motions and strain. A pinched nerve can also trigger neck pain. When vertebra become unaligned this can crowd a sensory nerve, thereby “pinching” the nerve, which causes pain for an individual.

#3. Migraines and Headaches
There is no clear cause to explain the occurrence of all headaches and migraines. Research supports that there might be a genetic component relating to a predisposition for headaches, particularly migraines, as well as central nervous system issues, vascular problems, and chemical abnormalities. A proper adjustment can alleviate these issues.

#4. Pregnancy
Chiropractors are trained to work with women during pregnancy. With the growing trend of trying to find more natural (drug-free) solution, making it safer for the baby, many pregnant women are turning to their chiropractor from the common back pains associated with pregnancy.

#5. Car Accidents and Injury
Spinal injuries are common across all kinds of automobile accidents, from fender-benders to serious collisions. High-velocity collisions can injure soft tissues in the neck and back, causing whiplash and back pain. Whiplash, the back-and-forth thrashing of the neck during a collision, can cause severe neck pain and stiffness. During an auto accident, the impact from a collision causes movement in the neck and back beyond the normal range of motion of the spine, often triggering severe back pain.

At Your Sanctuary For Healing, we are devoted to helping individuals in Sandy achieve optimal health and fitness through complete care, addressing pain symptoms, as well as underlying lifestyle and energetic causes of illness, with compassion and understanding.  If you're living in the Sandy area and looking for holistic care, Your Sanctuary For Healing is here for you.
 
Chiropractic Care Near Sandy
Chiropractic care has the power to reduce your pain, improve your mood, and provide your body the opportunity it needs to heal itself. The key is the spine. The spine is the primary highway of your nervous system and the healthier the infrastructure that holds your nervous system the healthier you will be holistically. Chiropractic corrects subluxations through the practice of introducing specific directional forces to a person’s spine so the body can perform at its optimum potential. It is not meant as a “treatment” for specific illnesses, although through normalized nerve function, a person’s body is better able to cope with stresses and illness, and consequently the body often heals itself better and quicker. People in Sandy can enjoy better health, higher energy, and enhanced performance through the benefits of spinal adjustments.

Massage Therapy Near Sandy
Our bodies can undergo a lot of stress in our lives, and this stress lives in our muscles. It can either build up to eventually be too much and we start to feel pain, or it can be triggered by pulling, straining, or injuring your muscles. At Sanctuary For Healing, you will enjoy a therapeutic massage tailored to your needs. 

Reiki Near Sandy
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “life energy.” The practice of Reiki is a gentle hands-on technique that promotes healing through deep relaxation, stress reduction and opening and enriching the flow of energy through the body. Our energy can become depleted or blocked from the everyday stresses of life or trauma. When this occurs we typically experience sensations of tightness and discomfort in specific regions of the body. If this blockage of energy persists, disease may develop. Through the infusion of calming Reiki energy, the body's ability to heal is enhanced.

6 Ways Everyone Can Benefit From Ongoing Chiropractic Care

10/9/2017

Because of its Eastern origins, many westerners remain skeptical about the power of chiropractic care as a method of healthy ongoing treatment. So most of us opt for medication and invasive procedures. But why? Statistics and health records indicate that chiropractic care can be extremely beneficial to anyone. In fact, according to research, patients who see certified chiropractors as their primary-care provider experience a 43 percent reduction in hospital admissions, a 52 percent cut in overall pharmaceutical costs, and 43 percent fewer outpatient procedures and surgeries. In addition, 32 percent of patients report better sleep patterns immediately after treatment. That sounds like pretty good evidence and should offer reason enough for non-believers to reconsider the benefits of ongoing chiropractic care.
 
• Stronger immune system. It may sound strange, but research actually has shown a direct correlation between regular chiropractic care and greater immunity against disease. Dr. Ronald Pero of New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute conducted one of the most relevant studies. He tracked 107 patients who received long-term chiropractic care. When he compared them to patients who did not receive such care, Dr. Pero discovered that their immune systems were an average of 200 percent stronger.
 
• Decreased drug dependence. Nobody wants to take more pharmaceuticals than absolutely necessary, which is why it should be great news that ongoing chiropractic care reduces the average patient’s dependence on drugs. Specifically, chiropractic treatments have been shown to reduce pharmaceutical costs by as much as 51.8 percent.
 
• Fewer headaches. A classic study shows that around 22 percent of patients experience a 90 percent reduction of migraines (or greater) after two months of ongoing chiropractic care.
 
• Less chronic pain. Did you know that more than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain? While the root cause of such pain can be any number of things, a substantial proportion of these people experience ongoing back or neck pain. Prescription drugs and over-the-counter NSAIDs may mask the pain, but they do little to promote healing. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, can address root causes and encourage long-term health.
 
• Better mood. While it may not be your first inclination to visit a chiropractor when you’re depressed or ill at ease, many patients report feeling happier after this kind of treatment. It’s likely due to improvements in overall hormone balance, as well as the release of dopamine in the brain.
 
• Improved posture. In an age when so many people work at a desk for six, seven, or eight hours a day, it becomes vital to correct bad posture. By scheduling regular chiropractic visits, you can foster proper alignment and reduce as much as 20 to 30 pounds of pressure on your neck.
Essentially, the basic principle upon which the entire profession of chiropractic is built is that the body has the amazing, innate ability to heal itself (under the right conditions), and it is the chiropractor’s job to help create an environment to facilitate this. Chiropractic serves to optimize wellness, not just treat pain.

Did You Know?
Back pain is the second most common neurological ailment in the United States—only headache is more common.
