Fall Hiking
Happy Fall!  This is the season to be out hiking and enjoying the beautiful fall weather and boosting your immune system.  Regular chiropractic adjustments, a good diet, restful sleep, daily exercise, stress reduction and some immune boosting supplements make for a happy, healthy body.  Treat yourself right!

Super Immuno-Tone
Each month we will be highlighting one of the many herbal supplements or vitamins we offer in our office.  This month is Integrative Therapeutics's Super Immuno-Tone.

Why do we need to support our immune system?  Because we face a lot of health challenges in our daily activites.  A natural boost just makes good sense.  Super Immuno-Tone works with your body to boost your immune system by providing essential nutrients in a base of Echinacea, Goldseal and other standardized herbal extracts.

Adventure Tours
Chirohealth has joined forces with the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's adventure tours program to bring you wonderful wellness vacations at an affordable cost.  You deserve to treat yourself to a vacation of a lifetime. 

Two upcoming trips, one to Costa Rica and one to South Africa give participants a close look at fantastic countries.  Allow yourself to be healthy and active.  Explore exotic cultures, see beautiful scenery and make new friends.  If you want more information about either of the trips call 715-340-4855 or send an email to johnmnsn@yahoo.com.

Each trip features small group numbers (Costa Rica = 16 participants, South Africa Photography Safari = 8 participants) so you will get to know everyone very well.  Dr. Munson went on one of these trips last January and would be happy to share her experience with you.  Visit the UWSP adventure tours website for a complete listing of programs offered.

C1 Vertebrae 
What do headaches, muscle pain, depression, fatigue, dizziness, ringing in the ear, allergies and high blood pressure have in common?  All are symptoms of misalignment/subluxation of C-1 (Atlas Vertebrae).  This vertebrae bridges the connection between the brain stem and spine, and therefore is rich in nerve supply that communicates and sends messages to the entire body.  That is why when the C-1 is not properly aligned, it is possible to experience a wide variety of physical and emotional symptoms.  Dr. Munson checks this on every patient!

Roasted Vegetable Soup
 
Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active) 
Servings: 6

2 large yellow onions, cut into wedgesRoasted Vegetables
2 medium zucchini, diced
2 medium summer squash, diced
4 large carrots, peeled and diced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
Salt and ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 quart low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Sour cream or yogurt, to serve
Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, to serve

Heat the oven to 400 F.  In a large bowl, combine the onions, zucchini, summer squash, carrots and potatoes.  Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper and the cumin.  Toss to combine.  
Spread the vegetables evenly over 2 rimmed baking sheets.  Roast until tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

Working in batches, transfer the vegetables to a blender and puree until smooth.  For each batch, pour in a bit of the broth to help puree.

As each batch is pureed, remove any fibrous bits by pouring it through a mesh strainer and into a large saucepan.  When all of the batches have been strained, set the saucepan over medium heat.  Stir in any remaining broth and bring to a simmer.  Season with salt and pepper, then ladle into bowls.  Garnish with sour cream or yogurt and chopped herbs.
