Using La Grande chiropractic care as one complementary health alternative boosted patients sense of well-being and control of their health.

CHIROPRACTIC: ONE WAY TO FEEL BETTER AND GAIN A SENSE OF CONTROL

“Listen to your elders!” A study of over-60 year olds found that 29.2% of them used complementary health alternatives in the last 12 months: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage topped the list. 60% of those folks said it was “important” for maintaining their health and well-being. They stated that it boosted their overall health, and they felt better. They had an improved sense of control over their health. They said these types of options made it easier to cope with their health problems. (1) Today more than ever, we in La Grande are all in need of a stronger sense of control over our health and well-being. Your La Grande chiropractor is with you in good times and hard times, for young folks and elders! Come see us soon. In the meantime, taking this sensible advice from the CDC in this time of the coronavirus pandemic is a good idea, too, as these are all things within our control when so much around us is not. (2)

Correcting La Grande vitamin D deficiency boosts the immune system to ward off disease and even depression.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Take Vitamin D

A healthy body relies on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D plays a beneficial role in supporting a health immune system and helps fight challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can elicit undue immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually lands on respiratory mucosa and influences the respiratory system. (We hear a lot about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy research suggests may boost the immune system to fight such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay due to its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Everyone from government, research and industry around the world are very aware that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. They are working to find ways to deal with it and respond to the questions “How much vitamin D should I take a day?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let’s discuss this at your next chiropractic visit and set a plan to boost your vitamin D level and permit your body to ward off health-compromising challenges.
