Fall is here and with it brings a variety of family fun.  Hikes in the parks, trips to apple orchards, pumpkin patches and hayrides.  Fun exercise boosts the immune systems and guards against fall/winter viruses. 

We all want to take the best care of our children.  They need our love and attention and good health care during their formative years.

Unfortunately, many children do not receive the best in health care.

Andrew Weil, M.D., a graduate of Harvard medical School, says that what passes for health care is actually a "disease care" system rather than a true health care system.  He recently stated that there should be incentives for reducing costs by emphasizing health and preventative measures.  Dr. Weil, who endorses chiropractic care, cited examples such as good food, exercise and lots of education.

This is what our kids need.  Pharmaceutical drugs and vaccinations are no substitute for poor nutrition, little or no exercise, and poor health habits.

Before the colds and flus start coming around this winter, bring your kids in for a spinal and health checkup. Optimal health begins with proper spinal alignment! 

October is National Chiropractic Month.  I am looking forward to seeing you for your adjustment and encourage you to bring your children for a checkup.  I am committed to supporting patients who seek a holistic model of health care, and empowering parents to build healthy bodies and spirits in their families.

Be Healthy and Be Well!

Dr. Cindy Munson

If our health care system is to achieve greatness, our medicine needs to return to its roots.  It must focus again on the natural healing power of human beings. ~Andrew Weil, M.D.
