September is here and many of our patients will be heading back to school in a few short days. If a new backpack is on your shopping list, make sure the one you choose is appropriate for your child. For millions of children, b ackpacks are a leading cause of back and shoulder pain. The American Chiropractic Association offers some great advice on backpack selection and recommends that your child should not carry more than 10% of his/her body weight.Good nutrition is key to a child's development, school performance and overall health. Fuel your child's brain cells for optimal learning with a solid breakfast of whole grains, protein and fruit. Prepping in advance makes the morning rush less hectic. Click here for more healthy eating tips that will help your child start the school day on the right track. This month we also pay tribute to the hardworking men and women of our nation. Thank you for your dedication to the well-being of our country!

Traumatic Brain Injury Increases Risk of ADHD
A new study has found a "significant association" between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and ADHD in children. Researchers found that those with even mild concussion are more prone to lapses in attention as well as anxiety issues and slower processing speed than children who had not experienced a TBI. The results appear to confirm a theory that TBI victims have a type of "secondary" ADHD. Read more about the recent study here.
A single concussion can cause lasting and debilitating brain damage. Dr. Brent Reynolds specializes in TBI and advises student athletes to have a baseline concussion assessment conducted prior to the start of their sport. A neurological assessment provides critical information on pre-injury brain function to use in rehabilitation planning in the event of TBI.
Click here to check out Dr. Reynolds' videoto learn more about the assessment process and how it can help your child in the event of injury. Our office is offering the assessment until September 30th for only $100 (regularly $325). Call for more info: 631.265.1223.

Fish Oil May Block Mental Illness
Schizophrenia is a debilitating psychotic disease which typically emerges during adolescence or early adulthood. There is no known cure, only symptom treatment. Recent clinical trials have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish may prevent the onset of psychotic disorders in high-risk young people long after the supplement is consumed.
Participants completing a 12-week regime of Omega-3 supplements were found roughly 7 years later to have suffered significantly less psychotic episodes as compared to a control group that received placebos. It is speculated that the Omega-3 supplements boost both brain cell regeneration and key neurotransmitters associated with mental wellness. Read more here:
We are offering 10% off nutraMetrix Omega-3 supplements this month. See our special offer at the bottom of this newsletter.
