| Greetings! |
MARCH MADNESS!
 Spring is on it's way and we all anxiously await the warmer weather and the first flowers that bloom!
During the month of March, I am offering some specials for children! Kids get Free New Patient Chiropractic Exams and 50% off their adjustments (for children up to age 18). This is a great opportunity to ensure your child's spine is perfectly aligned -- just in time for spring soccer season!
Some of you may have already received our Patient Survey sent out via email. Thanks to all of you who have already completed it. The feedback is so important to us, and we thank you for your honesty. If you haven't yet completed the survey (or didn't receive it), there's still time to participate. Click here to go directly to the survey. It only takes about 2 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.
Thanks!

| Chiropractic Care for My Child? But His Back Doesn't Hurt! by Dr. Maya Pande, DC |

Parents often appreciate the importance of checkups for their child's teeth, hearing, eyes, ears, nose and throat but they often don't think of the spine. A spinal checkup is important for your child's development and wellbeing.
Why?
The bones of the spine protect and cover the spinal cord. The spinal cord is like a telephone line between the brain and the rest of the body. If something goes wrong with the spine, it affects the spinal cord and this can prevent the proper messages from traveling back and forth. You know how lost you feel when you can't get through to someone because their cell phone is off? Imagine the same thing happening in your body! In this way, misalignments to your spine can lead to health problems in the future. As children grow up, there are many ways that their spine can become misaligned:
- During Birth - Difficult labours and births can have a traumatic effect on the newborn, especially in the neck.
- During Infancy - Up to 50% of infants have a significant fall in the first year of life, from a bed, crib or diaper table. And toddlers fall many, many times while learning to walk
- During Childhood - Accidents, playground injuries, falls off bikes, sports injuries and incorrectly carrying large knapsacks can cause spinal misalignments.
- During Teen Years - Teenagers have a history of slouching while playing video games or while studying. These can lead to improper posture and even pain in their back. Scoliosis is a sometimes serious condition that can be seen in the preteen years. If treated early by a chiropractor, the effects of scoliosis can be reduced greatly.
By keeping a child's spine free of misalignments, many different conditions can be helped. Parents report that children who get adjusted don't get sick as often, have better posture and improved balance. Chiropractic is a safe, gentle, drug free way of improving your child's health.

| Sleeping for your Health by Joy Burlton, HD |
 Do you lie awake at night, worrying about... well anything and everything?
Do you make lists, think of things that you have to do, think about the things you did or didn't do today, check the clock, toss and turn and worry about what time you have to get up the next morning and how tired you are going to be because you just can't get to sleep?
Maybe you are OK getting to sleep, but you can only sleep for a certain amount of time and then you wake up, switch position, grab a snack, but no matter what you do you can't seem to stay asleep.
You know this isn't healthy, but what are the sleepless to do? Click here to read more
