Where do most Indianapolis residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Indianapolis newborn.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
Sunglasses – More Than a Fashion Statement!
If you are out in the sun, you should protect your eyes – it’s just that simple. The best way to keep your eyes safe in the sun is to wear sunglasses. Good quality sunglasses offer your eyes protection from:
- Ultraviolet (UV) rays that can damage your corneas and retinas. A good pair of sunglasses totally filters out UV rays that may also be responsible for cataracts and macular degeneration. UV rays also cause wrinkling of the skin around the eyes and sunglasses protect that sensitive skin as well!
- Sun glare that can hide objects from view. Water and windshields are particularly susceptible to reflective glare, so be sure to wear sunglasses (polarized are best) when boating or driving in bright sunlight.
- Wind, dust, sand and other airborne matter! They also keep your eyes, and contact lenses, from getting dry in windy conditions!
- Headaches and eyestrain resulting from squinting and the constriction of the pupils that occurs when light enters the eyes.
And remember, you don’t only wear them on the beach or while driving in warm weather. The sun shines just as brightly when you’re skiing or snowmobiling as it does when you are playing soccer, baseball or golf!
With so many styles and shades to choose from, there’s simply no reason not to wear them. And remember, even small children’s eyes need protection from the dangers of sunlight – so be sure to get them high-quality eye protection as well.
