OCTOBER
2012

Greetings!

dr heidi
Dr. Heidi
With health care reform being a hot topic lately in the media, I want to bring your attention to two documentaries that recently hit the big screen.  "Doctored" which focuses on the benefits of Chiropractic Care, while examining a wide range of medical, political and insurance topics.  And "Escape Fire: The Fight To Rescue American Healthcare" looks at ways to help cure the ailing healthcare system, including greater use of alternative healing.  These documentaries bring the message of WELLNESS to the big screen nationwide, illustrating that our current system of healthcare care is not working.  Our nation is the sickest it has ever been, with health in the U.S. ranking as low as some third world countries according to CDC (Center for Disease Control) statistics.
 
As October is National Chiropractic month, I cannot think of a better time for these films to be released.  Both films show that Alternative Medicine, namely Chiropractic, offers real WELLNESS solutions.  Chiropractors have been spreading the message of WELLNESS since the start of our profession back in 1895.  I hope watching these documentaries will inspire you to begin getting consistent adjustments and actively participate in your health.   
Until our next adjustment.... 

 

Yours in health,    

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team

NATIONAL CHIROPRACTIC MONTH 

As we celebrate National Chiropractic Month, we would like to encourage everyone to participate by practicing Perfect Posture!
 

Your posture affects how you look, feel AND how others perceive you as it conveys your mental and emotional state, as well as your physical status.  Standing tall will not only convey a more confident you, but you'll appear 10 pounds thinner too! 

 

Poor posture is linked to fatigue, headaches, neck pain, back pain, hip & knee pain and much more. According to Dr. Oz, "Bad posture can put the equivalent of 100 extra pounds of stress on your lower back."

  

Practicing Perfect Posture will help you retain the benefits of your chiropractic adjustments and you'll look better too!

CHIROPRACTIC GOES FOR THE GOLD

 

Did you know that there were over 150 Chiropractors on hand at the London Olympics to care for the athletes?

 

Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man, incorporates routine Chiropractic Care into his wellness regimen.

Retired American Olympian Gymnast Shawn Johnson also accredits Chiropractic to her success.

DR. HEIDI's RECOMMENDED READING:

Meningitis Outbreak in the U.S.
At least 15 deaths and more than 214 cases of illness are attributed to spinal meningitis caused by contaminated steroid drugs injected into the spine for pain relief.  Both the FDA and the CDC have released statements regarding the recall of the tainted product that has been shipped to at least 23 states, including California.  However as the drug manufacturer is licensed in all 50 states, the reach of the tainted product could be more extensive. 

It's important to note that if these patients had received chiropractic spinal manipulation - a
proven treatment  for back pain with zero side effects - instead of drugs, they would not have been infected.  We encourage ALL patients to be informed about the alternatives that exist when it comes to managing pain, particularly back pain. Drugs aren't the only choice, and as the current outbreak demonstrates, the wrong choice can be life-threatening.
