50% of those taking multivitamins are

IN THESE VERY FLU ORIENTED TIMES, ARE YOU GETTING THE NUTRIENTS YOU NEED?
ASK DR. LAUREN TO HELP YOU OUT!!! |

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT IS CLOSE TO BACK SURGERY?
Before they take that drastic step!
How about inviting them to meet Dr. R.
You never know, Dr. Lauren has saved numerous patients from the treaded knife. She might be able to help your friend! | |
I hope this newsletter finds you well... which is not easy right now. I can't tell you how many of my friends are down with some sort of flu or infection.
It also seems to be hitting many of our patients.
If given the opportunity, there is so much we can do to help prevent these kinds of illnesses. Honest. From assisting in your nutritional intake; to getting you on the right nutritional and vitamin supplements; from making sure your body is doing the most it can to fight off infection; to helping you make sure your entire family stays as healthy as possible. I think we sometimes forget just how important Chiropractic care is to help prevent illness. But it always seems to happen, we just wait until we're in pain before we "take care of business." I swear, if I could give each of you one wish for the New Year, it would be the wish of monthly preventive Chiropractic care. And for you cynic... give me six months of your visiting the office a minimum of once each month and we'll compare your sick days last year to your sick days while under my care.
TRICK OR TREAT --
Treat yourself to the good feeling of being in excellent health with care from Path to Wellness Chiropractic. Chiropractic uses the body's own powerful self-healing mechanisms to achieve health. With proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and a properly functioning spine, the body easily overcomes many health problems.
Tricking your body into thinking it feels good by masking the symptoms of poor health with aspirin, other pain killers, or drugs only cover up the symptoms temporarily leaving the cause of the pain unresolved.
Years ago chiropractic discovered that many painful conditions could be relieved by adjusting misaligned vertebrae back into alignment. Since then it has grown into the 2nd largest health provider principal because it works for so many people.
Chiropractic care helps your body keep itself healthy. Our office is dedicated to improving your health and maintaining it at its peak.
COSTUME DAY AT PATH TO WELLNESS --
OK, we'll discuss this plenty more, but make your appointment early for Friday, October 30th. We've decided to make it Costume Day at the Clinic. The staff will be all dressed up and we hope you will too. Will have refreshments all day and have a number of prizes for
Best Costume
Most Unique Costume
Best Home Made Costume
and if you have a pet and want to bring them by in their costume, we would love to see that too.
So, make your appointment very early... can you imagine Pam in her Cheerleader outfit. (Is that what she will be wearing? You'll just have to come by and see for yourself.) One thing is certain, it will be a fun day at Path To Wellness.
And yes, bring a friend on October 30th and if they become a new patient, you'll receive a $25 gift certificate to Luke's Locker or Gloria's.

Yours in better health,

 Letter of the month.
We want to hear from you...please!!!
Each newsletter we will publish one of the many notes or letters we get from you. So this puts you on notice, please send us your thoughts about Path To Wellness. You might just see yourself in print.
"I cannot thank Dr. Roberson and her staff for all the help they have given me over the past few weeks. I sprained my ankle and it was not getting better, but thanks to Dr. R's therapies, Pam's patience with the cold laser therapy and Steven teaching me how to wrap my ankle with both an Ace bandage and actual tape, my rehabilitation is going great. At each session, Lauren has been so helpful explaining the right and wrong things for me to do. And Pam and Steven have been so supportive in their questions and in helping me towards recovery. I want to also say how great it is to find a doctor that is so supportive of natural supplementation. I know that the changes Dr. Roberson made in my supplements has sped my healing process.
I recommend Path To Wellness to all my friends and I think you should too." Dana Knight
Dana is one of our many patients from Luke's Locker Fit Program. For more information about this great runners training program, stop by Luke's... on your way to see us.

A condition involving pain or discomfort in the head, neck or scalp associated with muscle tightness in these areas. Tensions headaches are one of the most common forms of headaches. They can occur at any age but are most common in adults especially leading into the holiday season. What can start as a tension headache can become chronic. If these headaches occur more than twice a week for a month, make an appointment to see us immediately. Tension headaches are a result of contraction of the muscles in the neck, head and upper back. A common cause of these contractions is stress, anxiety or depression. Very common reactions during these times ahead. Another common cause of tension headaches is keeping the head in one position for a length of time. This can be caused by sitting at a computer, working in a close area with your hands or using a microscope. Sleeping in a cold room or your neck in an uncommon position can also cause these to occur.
Still other causes include: Spinal misalignment, eye strain, fatigue, alcohol use, lack of sleep, excessive smoking,excessive caffeine, sinus infections,nasal congestion, overexertion, colds and the flu.
If you are feeling any of these symptoms, give us a call immediately. This time of year, Tension Headaches seem to capture our lives. At Path to Wellness Chiropractic, we can help you get through the Holiday season and Find your way to a Healthier life for 2010.

Little known facts of the Month --
Fingernails
Your fingernails help you pick things up and support the tissues of your fingers. That you knew. But did you know all this?
1. Fingernails grow faster than toenails. 2. Nails grow faster in summer than in winter. 3. Fingernails on a person's dominant hand (right vs. left) grow faster than on the nondominant hand. 4. Men's nails generally grow more quickly than women's 5. Nail-polish removers containing acetone can dry nails. Better: Use removers containing acetate, and sparingly. 6. Filing fingernails to a point makes them weaker. 7. For maximum strength, nails should be cut straight across and rounded slightly at the tip.
Finally, your fingernails say a lot about your health - that's why many doctors examine them closely during physical exams. Common conditions and their effects on fingernails include:
Liver diseases White nail
Kidney diseases Half of nail is pink, half is white
Heart conditions Nail bed is red
Lung diseases Yellowing and thickening of the nail, slowed growth rate
Anemia Pale nail beds
Diabetes Yellowish nails, with a slight blush at the base

It is our pleasure to serve you...
How crazy is it that we are turning the corner and heading into the final quarter of 2009. Can you believe it? We are weeks from Halloween and the start of the Holiday season. Wow, 2010 and the end of the first decade of the 21st Century is just three months away.
Path To Wellness Chiropractic wants to remind you that if you have have any kind of chiropractic problem, now would be the perfect time to have it addressed. Chances are, if you are like most, you've probably met your deductible for this year. You should also know that if you have not been in to see a doctor between January 1st through October 1st, 2009, most insurance companies will apply any money you spend this year toward next year's deductible. (We will be more than happy to call your insurer and find out.) If you are in need of care and would like to save money, this would be a great time for you to stop by.
And don't forget the other members of your family. We cannot remind you enough about the advantages of bringing your children in for continual maintenance. Please give it a try and we know you will agree. | |
