Why adding a multivitamin to your daily routine is a good idea:

These are just a few of the reasons why supplementation is helpful:

Supplements can help fill in nutritional gaps in your diet. The Standard American Diet (SAD) will not provide adequate amounts of many micronutrients (ex: zinc, copper, manganese) that we need on a daily basis. Opting to eat vegan, vegetarian or omitting food groups from your diet could also cause you to miss out on certain nutrients.

Many conventional farming practices have depleted the soil causing the fruits and veggies we buy at the supermarket to be less nutrient dense than they once were.

Drug induced nutrient depletion can make it harder for our bodies to process and absorb nutrients from food. Certain meds are known to affect specific nutrients. For example oral contraceptives Vitamin B6. Cholesterol lowering statins deplete COQ10, iron, magnesium and Vit A.

Everyone in Buffalo needs to supplement Vitamin D in the winter months, period.

Disclaimer: You can’t supplement your way out of a crappy diet, inadequate sleep, unchecked stress levels and lack of regular exercise.

If you have questions about your specific nutritional needs, we are happy to help! Also pick up a sample of @metagenics Wellness Essentials next time you’re in the office. These daily pre-portioned multivitamins can be one small step toward forming healthy habits in 2022

Think chiropractic is all about crackin’ backs?

Some things that happened today in the office:

-Met a first time mama and explained how the Webster technique can help to balance the structures of the pelvis, create a smoother birth and allow for a more comfortable pregnancy. 🤰

-Did some instrument assisted soft tissue work with a with recreational volleyball player and talked ankle ligaments and musculature of the lower leg.

-Helped a breast cancer survivor with some headaches and back pain that she’s been having post FLAP surgery and made a plan for scar rehab.

-Completed care for a patient trigger thumb who was looking for an alternative to surgery 🏽 and she’s back to smooth range of motion.

-Worked on TMJ musculature and gave some strategies to work on at home when stress ➡️ jaw clenching.

Chiropractic can help with so much more than low back pain, (but we’re pretty good at that too).

Chiropractic is a safe, effective and drug-free way to manage pain and improve function for many injuries and issues affecting the spine, joints and surrounding muscles.
