"Get Vertical" Campaign Urges Everyone to Move and Be Fit
The American Chiropractic Association's 2013 "Get Vertical" Campaign focuses on the importance of joint health and encourages everyone to get up off the couch or office chair and get moving. Studies show that people who are active generally experience less joint pain and inflammation.
Simple changes at the office like taking a walking break every 20-30 minutes or stretching as well as eating healthy can help have a positive impact on your overall health. Staying active now can go a long way toward being active into one's golden years.
If you're looking to make a positive change in your life but don't know where to start, give us a call. We can help you with natural approaches to pain relief and good health to get you moving and enjoying all that life has to offer!

ADHD In the Spotlight
2013 Awareness Theme: "The Many Faces of ADHD"
ADHD is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders of childhood, affecting 5-7% of children. While much attention is focused on pediatric ADHD, it is estimated that 4% or 8 million adults worldwide are also diagnosed with attention disorders. Adult ADHD is a common and costly workplace condition; few studies have been conducted on workplace performance and injuries of those diagnosed with ADHD, however Harvard medical school reports that a 2006 survey of employees in a large manufacturing firm revealed that adult ADHD was associated with a 4-5% reduction in work performance, as well as an elevated rate of absence and accidents.
If you think you may have an attention disorder, this quiz can be a first step in the diagnosis process. A QEEG brain map can help identify areas of the brain that are triggering your attention or behavior symptoms and aid in customizing a therapy program that corrects the abnormal brain-wave patterns associated with your ADHD. Call us to learn more about the QEEG and how BrainCore neurofeedback can help increase your focus and attention.
From our BrainCore patient Chris: "I have concrete proof that it (BrainCore) really does work!"
