October is National Chiropractic Health Month

With the approaching fall weather and the winter months ahead, now is the time to think about your health. Winter is a time of the year when deconditioning can lead to accidents. Depending on where you live it can also be a time of accidental slips and seasonal overexertion (ice and snow can be dangerous!).

This is a great time to talk with a Doctor of chiropractic about your health and ask about ways to prevent seasonal injury. A chiropractor will be able to help you avoid injury with core strengthening, advice on lifting and make sure your nervous system is operating at it's peak.

This year the ACA (American Chiropractic Association) is centering its focus on the problems that can be created with the the overuse of technology. For some ideas on avoiding these visit the ACA's technohealthy website.
