Neck Pain after A Fall...

In recent years, it has been reported that between 40 % and 60% of the population experienced an episode of neck or back pain in the previous 3 months. The neck has increased flexibility allowing for motion of the head, however this also means that there is decreased stability and protection in the region. The most common causes of neck pain are a result of are injuries to the soft tissue, muscles and ligaments in the neck. This can be caused by traumas such as car accidents, falls, sports injuries and repetitive motions. A chiropractor is trained to determine and correct most causes of Neck pain. Recently a patient slipped and fell on an ice patch as she was leaving work. Within minutes she had severe neck pain and a headache. She missed a couple of days of work when her best friend recommended Care More Chiropractic. I adjusted her neck and the pain subsided; within a week she was pain free! There is no need for people to suffer through neck pain hoping it will go away. Chiropractic is a safe alternative for injury treatment.

Soup’s On: The Bone Broth Edition

Image
Bone broth is a food that I love to recommend and its a topic that has become more mainstream in recent years.   Today I’m going to share with you why I love making, eating, and recommending bone broth.   My name is Dr Kristen Welsh.   I am a Chiropractor, I am a mom to 2 young children, and I've spent a considerable amount of time healing my gut.   About a decade ago, while I was struggling with gut issues, I discovered (thanks too many great resources, blogs, and colleagues) Bone Broth.   So what exactly is Bone Broth?   It is simply the liquid produced by boiling bones in water.   Virtually any type of bones can be used—I’ve used everything from left over bones from a whole chicken or turkey to beef bones purchased expressly for making broth.   Personally—if we eat food with bones (whole chickens, turkey, bone in steaks & roasts) I will freeze the bones until I’m ready to use them.   Bone broth is different from stock or broth in that bone broth is cooked for longer periods

A New Season...

 Are you familiar with Hygee?  Am I the only one who has been living under a rock and totally missed this concept?  Recently DoTerra introduced their new products for 2021.  I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one of the kits containing all of the new products...  One of the items in there was an oil blend called Hygee—one that my entire family loves!  This word was completely new to me, so I did what most people do these days and searched Google.  And I was amazed.  Hygee is a Danish term or concept that cannot be translated into a single English word.  Instead it’s a word that encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and wellbeing through enjoying the simple things in love.   As we enter into a new season, this word resonated with me.  It sparked some joy and curiosity.  This weekend saw the first cool crisp nights, the first chili of the season, and my youngest went pull-up free, and my oldest spent the weekend cooking.  It’s also my Birthday week, celebrating as I ente

The Comeback...

 The Atlanta Braves just won the World Series!   The Braves, a team who won fewer regular season games than any other team in the 2021 playoffs.   A team plagued with injuries to many of their best players.   A team that had more losses than wins at the end of July, finished the regular season with an 88-73 record.  In fact at the end of July the Braves had a 10% chance of making the playoffs and less than a 1% chance of winning the World Series.   The Atlanta Braves were not the best team in MLB from April to September, but they didn't let that stop them.  They showed up every day and gave 100%.  They made corrections, and trades, and kept their eye on the prize.   On November 2, 2021 they did it!  They won the World Series for the first time since 1995!     What a great lesson in life.  In the face of  seemingly unsurmountable odds:  Always Try!  Play to Win!  Never, Ever Give Up! Thank you Atlanta Braves for the reminder and the life lesson.
