- Hair StraighteningSitting: Right now as you are listening or reading this, how is your posture? Reading with the head jutted forward strains the upper back, shoulder and neck. Over time, this posture results in straightening or even reversal of the natural curve in the neck. This common postural problem dramatically increases a persons odds of suffering head and neck pain. Instead of adopting a gooseneck posture while sitting, keep your head aligned with your shoulders, chest out slightly. Avoid crossing you legs except for very short periods. In addition to keeping your feet flat on the floor, it’s important to choose a chair that supports your lower back and lumbar vertebra. This is especially important while sitting long hours at work at a computer. Even with a superior char, remember to take periodic stretch breaks once an hour and drink plenty of water to keep spinal cartilage hydrated. While driving, adjust the car seat to 120 degrees. This positions the spine for the least stress.

- SubluxationSubluxations interfere with nerve impulses. This can cause a variety of symptoms, from pain to a more subtle imbalance that affects sleep patterns and overall health. Chiropractic is also a safer alternative to correcting sleep disorders because sleep medications often carry with them undesirable or dangerous side effects, and sometimes addiction. Chiropractic also relieves the stress that is at the core of sleep disorders. Healthy diet and exercise are also essential components of restful sleep.

- AcupunctureA new Australian study confirms that chiropractic is more effective against pain than medicine or acupuncture. The study included patients who were treated and cared for from February 1999 to October 2001. These patients were randomly assigned either medicine, acupuncture or chiropractic. Only their respective assigned method was applied for nine weeks, or until their pain had subsided to an acceptable level. Findings showed that chiropractic provided the most consistent, broad-based, long-term relief.
