Tips for a healthy new year

New Year's resolutions sound familiar each year. From eating healthier to working out more but what about a wellness check up? And one that involves a whole healthcare team helping to prevent problems? That tends to remain at the bottom of the list. Many New Year's resolution involve some sort of health component but people tend to neglect the routine yearly examine that could be critical and life saving. 

A resolution involving total health and wellness can be key, especially for certain populations where staying healthy is important including the elderly, pregnant women and children.

The Massachusetts Chiropractic Society is offering some tips for a health new year. (http://www.masschiro.org ) The Massachusetts Chiropractic Society is the professional service organization representing doctors of chiropractic in this state.  Consider the following:

~   Sports injuries are common in the wintertime for all ages. Remember warm ups are key even for practicing that Wii.  Proper equipment is a must as well as keeping hydrated. Knowing when to quit is critical.  Chiropractors can provide advice on sports training, nutrition and injury prevention. 

~   New moms have so much stress; it seems easy for new moms to deal with injury.  Prevention is key. For example, when using a backpack-style or front-side baby carrier, make sure to select one with wide straps for your shoulders and waist. This will help distribute the carrier's weight evenly. If using a jogging stroller make sure the handlebars are both large and adjustable so they fit comfortably in your hands for complete control. 

~   For those moms with young kids remember how you pick up your child can save a lot of pain down the road.  Don't bend from the waist instead squat, pulling the child up to your chest and lift straight up with your leg muscles.

~   Chiropractic care has helped many children deal with the effects of Asthma, ADD and ear infections. Chiropractors across Massachusetts  have seen patents benefit from wellness checkups and parents report after a visit to the chiropractor their children get sick less often and even if they do they get though it much quicker and often without drug intervention

~  For the elderly consider adding a chiropractic check up after the visit to the MD. Chiropractors can provide pain relief without side effects. Chiropractor care for people with other ailments besides back pain and do it naturally.

Doctors of chiropractic are licensed and trained to diagnose and treat patients of all ages, and can provide health tips for parents and children, expecting women and the elderly
