Oh, My Aching Back! Is Your Back Pain Hurting Your Golf Game?

Oh, My Aching Back! Is Your Back Pain Hurting Your Golf Game?

We have all heard the terms: alignment, spine angle, posture, etc.  These terms are not only important in regard to the outcome of your golf shot but also to the health of your spine.
There are three fundamental causes of golf injuries particularly of the lower back: poor posture, lack of flexibility and poor swing mechanics.

Back Pain? FDA Cleared Technology Treats Herniated and Degenerative Discs Without Surgery!

Back Pain? FDA Cleared Technology Treats Herniated and Degenerative Discs Without Surgery!

The Cause of Back Pain — The discs in your spine provide space between each vertebrae and act as shock absorbers to give you the ability to bend and twist.  These shock absorbers undergo a significant amount of stress.  When the stress in the disc gets to high it begins to fail.  These failures are often called herniated discs and degenerative disc disease.  These changes often pinch or irritate the nerves ultimately causing pain.

Does Your Spinal Decompression Twist, Flex, or Rotate?

Does Your Spinal Decompression Twist, Flex, or Rotate?

To understand spinal decompression you must first understand the importance of your discs.  Located between each vertebra is a cartilage disc.  This disc is to act as a spacer to keep the vertebrae apart.  It also acts as a rubber bushing, providing a spinal shock absorber.  They also provide a specialized surface for each vertebra to mechanically move on.  This movement is necessary to nourish the discs.

Sunscreen: Not Just for Summer Anymore

Sunscreen: Not Just for Summer Anymore

You wouldn’t think of hitting the beach for that volleyball game without applying your sunscreen.  But how many people would think that hitting the slopes for a day of snowboarding would require the same amount or more sun protection than at the beach?  
Snow reflection increases UV intensity 35 percent more than water reflection.  If you’re heading to the mountains for a winter sport activity, don’t forget your sunscreen.  And don’t think that cloud cover provides you with any protection from the sun’s UVA (aging rays).  UVA penetrates the clouds and continues deep into the skin to cause long-term damage, such as sun-induced aging, and is a major cause of skin cancer. 

Building the Life You Want in 2009

Building the Life You Want in 2009

Most of us will be setting goals in this new year.  How many of you reached the goals that you set for yourselves last year?  Maybe you’re still working on it?  Maybe you keep falling back into your old behaviors?  Maybe it’s time to entertain the possibility of a different approach?  It has been proven that hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for helping people reach their goals. 

Skin Resurfacing

Skin Resurfacing

Looking to get your glow back?  Skin resurfacing just might be the solution.  Time, sun damage, free radicals and all of our skin’s enemies can steal that fresh-faced glow that makes us appear more youthful.  There are many different ways to resurface the skin and choosing a method can be overwhelming.  Depending on what kind of damage you have or how severe the damage is can help in the decision-making process.

Common Cold

Common Cold

The common cold is a viral infection of the lining of the nose, sinuses, throat and large airways.  Many different viruses cause colds.  Rhinoviruses cause most spring, summer and fall colds. Influenza (flu) viruses and respiratory syncytial viruses cause colds in the late fall and winter.  Flu viruses spread easily from person to person by infected droplets in the air from people coughing and sneezing.  Rhinoviruses and respiratory syncytial viruses are also airborne, but most likely by direct contact with infected secretions carried on the fingers.

Gift Idea for Seniors

Gift Idea for Seniors

I’m asked a lot for gift ideas for seniors.  My answer is usually the same, but especially now, with our economy, it’s the perfect price — free — Time!  Spend an extra hour with that aging loved one, or better yet, set aside an entire day.  It’s true for all of our family and loved ones as we rush, rush, rush, but even more so for seniors.  Loneliness, abandonment and depression are huge among our seniors during the holidays.  I know when talking to my clients, and the seniors in my life, they would gladly exchange most any gift for moments with their loved ones.

Time for Help

Time for Help

You are unhappy and frustrated with your relationship, yet you fear that your partner will resist getting help.  How you address it will have a great impact on the results.  Picture this: a man wants to borrow his neighbor’s lawnmower.  While walking to the neighbor, thoughts flow through his head (He’s probably upset that I didn’t return his chainsaw or I returned his hedge trimmer broken.).  By the time he gets to the neighbor’s door, he is worked up and pounds on the door.  When the neighbor opens the door, the man yells, “You can keep your darn lawnmower. I didn’t want it anyway!”

Detoxification for Better Health

Detoxification for Better Health

Detoxification is a treatment made popular because toxins have become a part of our everyday lives.  To compound the problem of our toxic environment, we have refined away much of the nutritional value of our food supply, replacing it with artificial colorings, preservatives, flavorings and conditioners, alcohol and smoking.  This poor quality diet, combined with extensive use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture, may have predisposed many of us to experience a kind of “internal” pollution.  Internal pollution occurs when unhealthful bacteria overcome the healthful bacteria in the intestinal tract.  These unhealthful bacteria release toxic byproducts into our circulation that can negatively impact many aspects of our overall health.

Samuel Dixon Family Health Centers, Inc. Offers Host of Reproductive Health Care Services

Mrs. J came into our center for a routine Pap smear. Married for 20 years and having no history of abnormal Pap tests, she expected to have a normal result.  She was shocked to learn that she had an abnormal Pap and a sexually transmitted disease called HPV.  Mrs. J didn’t have insurance and was very worried about the cost of the additional tests she needed.  Thankfully she qualified for free exams, a Pap test and the colposcopy she needed to evaluate her abnormal Pap.
