5 easy ways to maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit during retirement
5 easy ways to maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit during retirement
- Chiropractic: Chiropractic care promotes long-term pain relief for senior patients. Chiropractic care will also increase mobility and improve balance. Better quality sleep, improved mood, and higher energy levels can all be attained by older adults who seek chiropractic care on a regular basis.
- Purpose: Many studies amongst different demographics have shown that maintaining a strong sense of purpose is associated with a host of positive attributes at these ages. One way that many retirees find purpose in retirement is by volunteering their time and labor at homeless shelters and animal shelters.
- Social network: Maintaining a good social life adds meaning to life and strengthens self-worth. Staying socially connected can also provide support, making it easier to handle problems and gives us something to do and someone to do it with. Start by finding a group of people with common interest and join a book club or partake in weekly game nights.
- Stay active: Staying active in retirement benefits your physical and mental health and discovers some of your hidden skills, exciting hobbies, and talents that you might have. It can also keep your cognitive function from aging and supports you to stay mentally active compared to other older adults. Some ways to stay active during retirement could include tennis, golf, gardening, bowling, etc.
- Mental stimulation: Retirees can do things to keep their brains as sharp as when they were working, and they are easy to do. The more active our minds are, the less likely it is that seniors develop mental health problems and physical disabilities. Word games, puzzles, card games, and reading are all ways you can stimulate your brain during retirement.

Is Your Computer Damaging Your Posture?
Is Your Computer Damaging Your Posture?
This is how you can maintain good posture while working on the computer
Since online school and working from home has become our new norm here are a few tips and tricks to maintain good posture. One of the most common postural issues is forward head posture, some of the many things that lead to forward head posture is computer ergonomics, video games, and backpacks. Positioning computer screens too low leads to looking down and moving the head forward to read the screen. To avoid forward head posture, you will need to reposition your work area. Start by keeping hips, knees, and elbows at 90 degrees. Along with having the computer screen just above eye level and having your keyboard close to your bellybutton with your elbows on an armrest. Keeping your back upright with a pillow supporting the curve in your low back is key. Every 20-30 minutes, sit up straight and pull the neck and head back over the shoulders.

Ice Vs. Heat For Injuries and Pain
WHEN TO APPLY HEAT
Ask anyone with chronic pain, and most will tell you that they rely regularly on heat as a means to relieve their symptoms. Discomfort associated with stiffness or cramping typically responds best. Patients who have injuries from over-exertion, knots, muscle tension, arthritis and trigger points are most likely to have a positive response to thermotherapy.
Of course, there are conditions which can be made worse by application of heat. Fresh injuries, infections, and inflammation should never be subjected to heat therapy. Determining the difference between an actual injury with damage and soreness can be difficult, especially when conditions such as chronic back pain are all too common. If you aren’t sure of the nature of your pain, seek guidance from your chiropractor before attempting any form of self-treatment.
WHEN TO APPLY ICE
While heat serves its purpose, ice is the relied upon method to quickly soothe injury and inflammation. Common conditions which may benefit from cryotherapy include sprains, bruises, strains, tendonitis, and headaches. By applying ice to these injuries, nerve endings become numb, capillaries constrict, and metabolic activity slows, all adding up to less inflammation and pain. Used within the first 24-48 hours of an injury, ice can have a positive impact.
The confusion over when to use ice or heat is understandable. When in doubt, remember that ice is best used on new injuries to numb pain and reduce bruising and inflammation, and heat is best suited for aching joints or tight muscles that will benefit from increased blood flow. Both are good self-treatment options when used appropriately.
Of course, ice and heat may offer some temporary, symptomatic relief, but they will do little good to help heal an injury or reduce the ability of chronic pain to interfere with day-to-day life. For treatment of these types of conditions, seek the aid of your physician or chiropractor. Particularly for pain originating from soft tissue injuries in the neck or back, chiropractic can provide even greater relief than pain medication, epidural injections, or other available therapies.

2. Lower risk of falls: Chiropractic care is helpful in this area as it helps to minimize subluxations in the spine and helps patients learn to stretch and exercise to improve their balance and strength throughout their senior years.
3. Natural treatment: it is important to find a way to find relief without the need to take medication.
4. Help with chronic conditions: After four weeks of chiropractic care, these study participants experienced a decreased number of adverse events and had a higher quality of life.
5. Decreased Joint Degeneration: Chiropractic care decreases spinal degeneration and other arthritic changes by normalizing the spinal alignment and reducing spinal stress.

One recent study found that older multiple-comorbid patients who used only chiropractic manipulative therapy during their chronic low back pain episodes had lower overall costs of care, shorter episodes and a lower cost of care per episode day than patients in the other treatment groups. Further, costs of care for the episode and per episode day were lower for patients who used a combination of chiropractic manipulative therapy and conventional medical care compared with patients who did not use chiropractic manipulative therapy.
Medicare does cover the cost of chiropractic adjustments.This is great for senior citizens because most seniors rely on Medicare to help with the cost of their healthcare expenses. Furthermore, Medicare has found that chiropractic is a beneficial form of treatment for the management of lower back pain and many other conditions.

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
1. Getting adjusted during your pregnancy will help maintain a healthier pregnancy, it will reduce back pains, help control nausea, and most importantly shift your pelvis into alignment as your body prepares for labor.
2. When your pelvis is out of alignment it can restrict the amount of space available for your developing baby. Regular visits to a chiropractor can help with these all these issues, about 75% of pregnant women report pain relief after getting frequent adjustments.

5 Ways You Can Relieve Your Neck Pain And Back Pain
2. GOOD POSTURE HABITS. It is important to practice good posture habits to prevent neck or back pain. Good posture reduces stress on the spine. One of the biggest culprits of bad posture is sitting at the computer or on the phone. Prolonged sitting is considered “the new smoking”. It has been shown to shorten people's life span.
3. EXERCISING. Back pain and neck pain can occur from living a sedentary lifestyle. I always encourage my patients to stay active and keep the spine moving! Spinal joints that make up the back and neck like other joints require movement to heal.
4. MEDITATE. By simply being stressed out, muscle tension, misalignment, and nerve irritation can occur. Leading to neck and back pain. Find a meditation technique you like and do it for at least 15 minutes per day, ideally in the morning. Guided meditations can be found online to help you to relax.
5. GETTING A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT. Yes it's true, even chiropractors need an adjustment sometimes. Chiropractic is essential to a healthy body and has been proven to alleviate back pain and neck pain. Poor alignment of the back and neck puts pressure on nerves and cause muscles to spasm.
