Dear Patients and Friends:
     We pause this time of year to share the spirit of the holidays, of giving, of patience and thankfulness. We at StillPointe are truly thankful for you. We think of our patients and clients as family. If we don't see you for awhile, we miss you and wonder how you are doing. Our foremost goal is to give you extraordinary service and empower you in your health. Thank you for choosing us to be your health partner for you and your family.
     Our holiday gift to you includes some wonderful massage (including hot stone) and health specials. Buy one for yourself and one for a loved one. There is no better investment than your health, it is the one gift that keeps on giving!
     Look through the e-news for more information on the special packages, our cash plan for those with high deductibles/co-pays and our monthly supplement special. We are also excited to welcome Saraherin Palmer to our staff as a wellness coach. She is a certified fitness trainer, nutrition coach and electrodermal screening practitioner. She will be working with our rehab/exercise patients, coaching our FirstLine Therapy clients and conducting the wellness classes.
     We wish you a wonderful holiday and blessed and abundant New Year.
In good health,

TOPIC OF THE MONTH:  SINUSITIS.
DECEMBER OFFER - 15% OFF - ONE SUPPLEMENT PURCHASE
TOPIC OF THE MONTH:
"Sinusitis Solutions"
     Sinusitis is inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nose, sinuses and throat. This usually leads to blocked sinuses and potential infection, and can be triggered by a number of things -- from viral and bacterial infection to allergies or hay fever. Common symptoms: cough, sore throat, pressure around the eyes, cheeks, nose and forehead.
     What can you do to prevent sinusitis? Harvard Women's Health Watch offers a few suggestions. First, keep nasal membranes moist by drinking lots of water. Remember, dairy products often cause mucous thickening and should be avoided. Also, sugar causes inflammation. Another way to keep sinuses moist is to use a "Nettie pot" or a squeeze bottle to stream salt solution through your nose. Stir one teaspoon salt into two cups of lukewarm water and squeeze or stream the solution through your nose (I do this in the shower!). You can also gargle with salt water to keep throat tissues moist.
     Eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree and "Thieves" oil are also great for sinus pain and congestion. Dilute and rub near sinus points, forehead and neck. You can also put some oil in hot water and "steam" your nose and face to open sinuses.
     At StillPointe, we use Chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, massage and CranioSacral therapy to relieve sinus symptoms. Electrodermal screening is an excellent way to test for allergies and intolerances to avoid things that cause sinusitis.
     This would be a great time to use our "Get Back to Health Sampler" to try EDS and other services for treating sinuses.  We are here and happy to help you get to the bottom of what causes your specific sinus problems.
