Before we get to the links:
The health and safety of our patients and team is our highest priority. We are continuing to schedule by appointment only to allow for the thorough cleaning of surfaces between visits. We are limiting the number of people in the office at any given time, and we are following other suggested guidelines for safety and prevention to ensure a clean, stress-free environment for everyone.
If this crisis has showed us anything it’s how important it is to have a high level of durable baseline health and resilience—now more than ever!
Here are the links from our Rom Family Chiropractic Facebook page and all the good stuff we posted over the last week!
We like to post things on a wide variety of health topics, but it can all be broken down into 5 broad categories:
- Being well-adjusted
- Eating well
- Moving well
- Thinking well
- Sleeping well
Here are the links we posted from last week:
Happy New Year!
2020 was, in a word, exhausting. Survival was success in 2020. Stepping back for just a moment of perspective on the year shows that the pervasive fear, anger, outrage, negativity, and finger pointing by itself was toxic. We have all been stressed. We have all been tested. One good thing about all of this is that stressing the system reveals the weak points–the most important areas we need to focus on in order to get better.
The new year is always a great time to focus on new beginnings, new goals, and renewed hope. We choose to focus on more optimism in 2021. We choose to focus on more kindness, more courage, more tolerance, more understanding, more gratitude, more hard work, and more optimism so that we can build more health, happiness and success. We hope you will join us on this journey–to make it a truly happy new year!

Is depression a mental disorder or an adaptive response to adversity?
“The common wisdom is that depression starts in the mind with distorted thinking. That leads to “psychosomatic” symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or fatigue. Now, models like the Polyvagal Theory suggest that we’ve got it backward. It’s the body that detects danger and initiates a defense strategy meant to help us survive.”
This makes the role of the nervous system (particularly the autonomic nervous system) EVEN MORE IMPORTANT in mental health!
Did you know that Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to help balance the autonomic nervous system?
Minimal Shoes Improve Stability and Mobility in Persons with a History of Falls
Less shoe, more stability: wearing minimal shoes and being barefoot is more beneficial for postural stability than wearing conventional shoes.
Postural and walking instabilities have been recognized as major risk factors for frequent falls in older adults.
Highly structured and supportive shoes may limit the sensory input to the brain and affect the control of gait, as the foot is not as susceptible to changes in shape, pressure and touch as walking barefoot.
It’s all about proprioception – the communication between the body and the brain. Chiropractic can help with this too!!
Exciting research showing that Chiropractic care increases strength, endurance, and balance…
(…oh yeah, it reduces pain too.)
Do you get adjusted regularly?
“Every cell in your body needs omega-3s, especially the eyes and brain. Omega-3s are also important for muscle activity, immune function, digestion and fertility.”
It’s simple: if every cell in your body is healthier, YOU ARE HEALTHIER!
Do you get enough omega 3’s in your diet?
