SPECIAL SECTION: HEALTHY LIVING
Chiropractic care can be a resource for patients suffering from a
variety of different conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain,
headaches, fibromyalgia, sciatica, spinal stenosis, ear infections,
neurological conditions, or scoliosis. Patients with these types of
issues often seek professional chiropractic therapy to relieve the pain
they are experiencing rather than taking medication to relieve their
ailments. Chiropractic care can start by addressing general wellness
or looks directly at disease prevention.

Foot Health
It is important to stay healthy from head to toe, including your
feet. There are 26 bones and 33 joints in your foot and ankle, making
the possibility for issues very high. From sprains and fractures, to
ingrown toenails, bunions, corns, and athlete’s foot, we may find
ourselves hiding our foot problems in a pair of shoes. But overlooking
foot health can lead to greater problems if left untreated. Taking a few
simple steps to ensure foot health is easy to do:

Overall Health
Overall health and well-being starts from the inside out.
Begin by providing your body with the nutrients it needs to
work properly. You will have more energy and feel better every
single day that you eat healthy, nutritious foods, drink plenty
of water, and get in some exercise. While physical wellness is
crucial for a healthy life, it is important not to overlook mental
wellness. This includes emotional, psychological, and social
well-being. Mental health is important throughout all stages of
life from childhood to adulthood. While good physical health
directly affects mental health, you should care for your mental
health in different ways.
Love yourself and treat yourself with kindness and respect.
Surround yourself with people who make you happy.
u Meditate and/or pray to provide yourself with time to
silently reflect on all of the positive aspects of life.
u Try something new to break away from the daily grind.
u Get help when you feel like you cannot help yourself. n
