It is always fun to do workshops on a healthy lifestyle.I imagine most of the information is not new but it is important to hear it again and maybe this time,hear it differently because it just might be the time you want to make a change.
Since this project of life is a 70 to 90 year project,you may fall off the exercise, real food, stress reduction, sleep band wagon. Humans need reminders to jump back on.

That is why it is important to have a health coach behind you. I am the perfect person for that because my interest and knowledge is in natural healthcare including
nutrition, movement, core strength, supplementation stress reduction and a healthy nervous system which controls everything.

We will be at North Park University Friday, April 24th 2009 at 10:30am speaking and interacting with the faculty. I am so excited.

Twenty-seven patients with painful disc herniations of the neck and low back (lumbar) spine received chiropractic care. MRIs revealed that in 63% of the patients the herniations had completely disappeared or been reduced. (12)
We ,at Seaman Chiropractic, use a specialized ,gentle table specifically designed for disc protrusions, herniations and slipped discs called a Flexion -Distraction table.
I also have had great success with the combination of this table and acupuncture for sciatica(leg pain).Your disc is a shock absorber and a spacer between the bones of the vertebrae.It is like a jelly doughnut with a soft center.

For many decades chiropractic care has been a blessing to pregnant women. Chiropractic has become the drug-free, natural, safe and effective approach to the fatigue, stress, exhaustion and pain (especially in the back, hip and pubic area) that sometimes occur in the later months of pregnancy. (1-4)

In addition to making pregnancy much more comfortable, chiropractic adjustments help pregnant women have easier births.

Further, chiropractic may prevent a breech presentation. Why? Spinal distortions (subluxations) can cause the pelvis to constrict a little and make it difficult or impossible for the unborn child to turn into proper position.

When the chiropractor corrects subluxations the entire structural system, including the pelvis, relaxes. Labor and birth are easier and a breech baby may turn into the proper position so a Caesarian section would not be needed.

To ensure a more relaxing pregnancy, labor and delivery, a balanced, stress-free spinal column and body structure is essential. Every pregnant woman should get a chiropractic checkup.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS. Irritable bowel syndrome (also called mucous colitis and nervous bowel) affects millions. It is an uncomfortable condition with cramping, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, heartburn or upper abdominal indigestion. In this study a 25-year-old woman with chronic irritable bowel syndrome for the past five years visited a chiropractor. Her symptoms began to disappear that day and two years later she remained symptom free. (11)
I have found that acupuncture also is very successful for the relief of symptoms of IBS
