What you get out of Exercising

Investing in 20-30 minutes per day of aerobic exercise may be a great start toward great health. 

Aerobic exercise is defined as physical exercise that intends to improve the efficiency of the cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen. Aerobic exercise includes prolonged movement of large muscles in your hips, legs and arms that affects your hearts and lungs. 

 You will notice changes in your cardio (heart) pulmonary (lungs) fitness within weeks of starting.  Your body will also release endorphins, natural pain-killers that increase your sense of wellbeing. 

Regardless of your athletic ability, age, weight and gender aerobic exercise is good for you.

Aerobic exercise is a stress placed on the body that is actually good for you and will make your body stronger and more efficient.

Regular exercise can:
·        Reduce health risks including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke, osteoporosis (especially weight-bearing exercises)
·        Help you maintain a healthy weight
·        Ward off viral illness by stimulating your immune system
·        Keep your arteries clear (decreasing LDL or ‘bad fat’ and increasing HDL ‘good fat’)
·        Strengthening and increasing efficiency of your heart
·        Boost your mood

Another way to help keep your spine healthy is by visiting your Chiropractor.

How Chiropractic Care can help with ADHD

Suffer from TMJ? Chiropractic Care can help

By  Dr. Brent Lipke DC

 If you place your fingers in front of each ear and open your mouth you can feel movement in your jaw joint.  This is where your skull’s temporal bone attaches to your mandible or jaw bone, called the temporomandibular joint or TMJ.

When this joint is misaligned it is called TMJ syndrome.  Symptoms include an inability to fully open the mouth, clicking or popping when eating or talking and sometimes the jaw may even temporarily lock up. 

Causes include gum chewing, trauma to the head/jaw or neck, and dental work where the mouth is open for a prolonged period.

Chiropractic focuses on correcting the cause of the TMJ dysfunction by gently re-aligning the jaw itself using low-force techniques.

How to Avoid Ear Infections in Your Child

By Dr. Brent Lipke DC

 Every parent at one time or another has had the heart-aching task of dealing with a child in agony from an ear infection.

Traditionally antibiotics have been given to remedy this.  Yet, research in the Lancet Medical Journal suggests that 88% of children never need antibiotics, and in those that receive them the risk of reocurrence is high.

Chiropractic care, on the other hand has been found to be both safe and effective at decreasing pressure on the nerve supplying the Eustachian tube, which drains the middle ear to the back of the throat.
