New Year’s Resolutions

New Year’s Resolutions
With the New
Year approaching, many people have New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, be
more active and to get healthier. A
great first step in this direction would be to visit your local chiropractic
office. Chiropractic adjustments would
help keep your spine in proper alignment which would benefit one during
workouts but it’ll also allow proper nerve flow throughout the rest of your
body. This will allow your body to
function at its best. As chiropractors we are also trained in anatomy,
physiology, neurology, exercise, and nutrition. We can provide consultations on
proper diet, exercise, and overall health.
Thomas Edison
stated in the early part of the century, “The doctor of the future will give no
medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame,
in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Proactive Health Vs. Reactive Health

Proactive
Health Vs. Reactive Health
Many Americans have this type of
mindset, “I’m not in pain, why do I need to go see a doctor?” or “I’ll take an
aspirin when I hurt myself or when I’m in pain.” Unfortunately for them that kind of mindset
is what got them into their painful situation. They are reactive towards their health instead of being proactive. Again this mindset is totally wrong. For example: the first sign of heart disease
is a heart attack, however one may have had heart disease develop for
years. Or one can develop diabetes over
time and not know it’s due to poor eating habits and lifestyle choices. Both of which are preventable diseases if one
were to take a more proactive mindset towards their health. Below is a chart that differentiates between
a proactive mindset versus a reactive mindset towards health.

It is common to see a dentist to have
your teeth checked out. It is common to
see your family doctor to get a routine check- up. It is even common to get your car checked for
maintenance work. Who’s checking your
spine out for subluxations or possible degenerative arthritis?
Take control of your health and be
proactive! Come see Dr. George Khoury, D.C. at Advanced
Health Chiropractic in Livermore to get your spinal checkup. We serve the Tri-Valley area including Livermore,
Pleasanton, Dublin, and Tracy.
