A traditional all-natural form of healing known as Acupuncture, began in China over 2500 years ago. Adopted by western medicine and increasingly getting more preferred over other practices of medicine. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s all-natural healing powers by targeting specific points, called acupoints with thin needles. By stimulating the acupoints it identifies patterns that indicate potential imbalances and works to correct them over a series of treatments.

Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat different areas of pain and inflammation. As well as being used more and more for overall wellness, including stress management. A few common areas that it is used to treat:

          • Chemotherapy-induced and postoperative nausea and vomiting
          • Dental Pain
          • Headaches, including tension headaches and migraines
          • Labor Pain
          • Low Back Pain
          • Neck Pain
          • Osteoarthritis
          • Menstrual cramps
          • Respiratory Disorders.

Benefits of Acupuncture

With the treatment of acupuncture comes a wide spectrum of benefits that it provides. It is commonly used for pain relief as well as inflammation and overall improvement of circulation.

          • Pain Relief – Interferes with concentration, inhibits physical activity, disrupts sleep and emotional disturbances. You can take over-the-counter or prescription painkillers which have unpleasant side effects that can be problematic and hurt the body. Acupuncture urges the body’s own natural defense to rally against the pain.

          • Reduce Inflammation – The immune systems natural response to illness or injury is to inflame. Acupuncture has an anti- inflammatory effect, so it helps reduce pain and calm inflammation.

          • Improved circulation – Blood carries much needed nutrients to the tissues and cells. Bad circulation compromises and the cells suffer while healing and the regeneration is slower. Acupuncture encourages circulation, healing and health at a cellular level.

With anxiety and depression being one of the leading causes of mental health in America today. Researchers have found acupuncture is helping with overall calming, improving of the mood and allowing one to sleep better.

          • Calming – Protect the body from the detrimental effects, by reducing stress levels and encouraging tranquility

          • Improved Mood – Anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders often respond well. Due to increased levels of crucial neurotransmitters like serotonin and restore hormonal balance to the body. Letting you engage in activities and enjoy life.

          • Better Sleep – Fights insomnia on many fronts. It reduces factors like pain and stress that can impede sleep and stimulates the release of neurotransmitters that promote better sleep.

What You Can Expect:


We will dive into what you can expect from the beginning, during and at the end of your treatment. As well, the benefits of routine treatments to give you relief from day to day. After being taken back to the treatment room, a gown, towel or sheet will be provided to you if necessary, depending on area being treated. Do not hesitate to ask any questions to the staff before.

Once ready, Dr. Henry will come in and begin explaining the treatment as well follow-up from the first consolation when you discussed acupuncture.

During the procedure:

Depending on the area we may ask you to lie down for the treatment. The procedure will begin, and three simple steps are performed. Dr. Henry will begin with the insertion of very thin needles through your skin. Acupuncture needles are inserted to various depth. With the needles being very thin, you can expect to have little discomfort. It is normal at times to feel a mild aching sensation when a needle reaches the correct depth. They are placed strategically in the areas of pain and inflammation in the pocketed points called acupoints.

If necessary, the needles may be manipulated by a gentle move or twirl after placement. As well applying heat of mild electrical pulses to the needles. The needles remain in place for 10 to 20 minutes while you lie still and relax. After the treatment and the needles are removed, there is normally no discomfort when the needles are removed.

After the procedure:

As everyone responds differently, some people feel relaxed and other feel energized after an acupuncture treatment. You should not experience any pain or discomfort after treatment.

Is Acupuncture for Me?


As your first treatment can be nerve racking, Dr. Henry will sit down an go into as little or as much detail as you would like. We have some patients who want to know exactly what is going on, and then we have others who just want to be healed and don’t really care how 🙂 
 
If you think that acupuncture might be something that interests you, be sure to ask Dr. Henry at your next appointment. If you haven’t ever visited Henry Chiropractic Center, feel free to give us a call, or message us on Facebook to ask more questions and set up a consultation!

Nutrition Tips


Many people want to diet, yoyo with weight and struggle with food. Food is not the enemy. You just have to learn a couple trick that can really help you with the daunting food challenge. Here is personally what I suggest as you conquer that New Year diet:


1. DON’T cut out food groups – Eliminating something will often making you crave if more and when you do have it eat more than normal, treat yourself every once in awhile!

2. Eat real foods – The best advice to eat real foods, cook for yourself or find a restaurant or meal prep service that does not add a bunch of stuff to your food.

3. Learn how to read the label – When you are in a crunch, best fake id,learn how to read food labels so when you are at the gas station or airport you can make “healthier” decisions.

4. DRINK H20 – It is very easy to get, easy to carry, and inexpensive. I recommend carrying a water bottle all the time and having water close so you do not reach for a coke of sugary drink. For those trying to lose weight and I recommend 100oz of water a day as it can help curve hunger!

5. EAT YO GREENS – Leafy greens are full of all good stuff: fiber, antioxidants and nutrients!

6. When the belly RUMBLES = Listen  – If you are starving, getting nausea, angry,fake id, or weak EAT, do not starve yourself as this will decrease your metabolism and will make you make poor decisions when food is around!

7. Supplement – I recommend taking a multivitamin, Omega-3, magnesium, and Vit-D. These will help with your overall health but if you are deficient in other things be sure to get that checked out and supplement appropriately.

8. Veggies – Suck it up and eat a balanced meal! There have great health benefits with antioxidants and quality fiber just scratching the surface!

9. Eat your Wheaties! – Be sure to eat breakfast if you are not fasting. You want a balanced breakfast consisting of protein, fiber (if not working out), fat and complex carbs to get your metabolism fired up for the day. If you are working out shortly after your breakfast, try to keep the fiber to a minimum.

10. Alcohol – Alcohol is not going to ruin your dreams or completely derail you from your goals. The key is moderation. When you do decided to drink, keep an eye on the number of drinks and reach for a low sugar alcoholic beverage. Instead of getting a sweet cocktail, get it on the rocks with added soda water and mint and lime to sweeten it up without the added sugar that cola or mixes add!

11. Learn to Cook – Plan out your weekly diners, make leftovers, fake id texas,and learn what you can make that satisfies your cravings. Try and stay away from the lazy drive through, which has choices that are not what you or your body wants. Life happens and if you are in a rush, choose a fast food with healthy options, in Columbus I recommend Tropical Smoothie or Be Fit Meals as a healthier quick alternative.

12. Weight lose Programs – If you do decide to get help for your weight lose journey, don’t rely on Supplements that some companies make you spend hundreds of dollars to get. It is all about diet! Most people can lose an extraordinary amount of weight with only diet and adding a little exercise can speed up the journey.

13. Snack – stabilizes your blood sugar, if keeps you from eating junk food such as cookie and chips, snack with an apple, or your favorite fruit.

14. Cup of Joe – If you’re a coffee drinker, drink it up, lets just leave out the sugar and crème! Opt for Black or Natural sweetener instead of Sugar.

15. Don’t Overthink Eating – Keep is simple, have a piece of protein, a veggie, and a carb! Make more than you will eat so you have leftovers, so you don’t have to think about it tomorrow, or get sucked in by the fast food trap!

16. Be Natural – Avoid those fake sugars, if you need a something sweet, stay tuned for an upcoming blog about artificial sweeteners and which ones are best!

17. Turn Down the Noise – Shut everything off when you eat, enjoy your food, enjoy the people you are with – phones now can be programed for do not disturbed times! Set them for your normal dinner times so you enjoy you are forced to be in the moment!

18. Eat a carb – Carbs are not the devil, your body needs them, try to keep the carbs from added sugars bad. Unless you are trying to go Keto, carbs are not the problem, focus on portion control and eating whole foods, which might have some carbs!

19. Move! – Burn what you eat! go for a walk, get active or learn an exercise routine that you enjoy and can stick to! Keep the body moving and your metabolism active, when you move you burn the calories you eat!

New Year, New You, Gym Tips

We know, we know…. EVERYONE wants to talk about “New Year, New You” the second
the ball drops on New Year’s Day. Everyone is so excited to make a new commitment to
better themselves, by eating better, cutting that nasty habit, or starting to work out like
they said they would all last year. Well, as someone who is obsessed with working out, I
truly can say that it will make you feel better, and improve almost all aspects of your
life. Doubtful? Working out is so hard? Trust me… you just have to get over that “hump”
of hating working out, and you will see for yourself!

The most important thing when going to the gym is to be comfortable and enjoy
yourself! Get comfortable with the equipment that you want to use. Do your research,
either at home on your own and googling which machines help which body part at the
gym, so then when you go use it, cheap Fake ID,you won’t feel as lost. Don’t be afraid to ask a personal
trainer, a friend or someone at the gym for questions of a machine or piece of
equipment. They will honestly rather help you than see you from afar using it
incorrectly, or knowing you might hurt yourself.

If mentally, you struggle with where to begin, try a workout class at the gym, or hire a
personal trainer for a session or two just to get your feet wet. Classes, coaches, and
personal trainers will decrease your risk of injury and will help you feel more
comfortable quicker. They will also help hold you accountable, fake id maker,so you aren’t one of
those people that fall off after the first month of the new year. Go to the gym with a
plan. Get an idea of what you want to do. Whether that be a workout class, cardio
workout, or a power lift…. go in with an idea and execute your plan!

Where to Begin


When you do join a gym, or start your workout journey, it is all about baby steps. Start
off going 2-3 times a week, then increase to 4. Slowly build yourself up, do not burn
yourself out. If you don’t feel like going to the gym that day, and it will stress your
schedule out more, or make you really sad and upset, then don’t go. Take the day off.
But figure out how you will work it in your schedule the next day. Don’t think you can
cheat yourself out of doing that every day… because the only person that you will be
letting down is yourself. 

As a chiropractor, I recommend working out 30 minutes at a time. Whether that be
walking, jogging, lifting or swimming, or whatever exercise or movement keeps you
interested. It is important to gradually increase,Fake IDs, this allows you make it more part of
your lifestyle and make it a lifelong habit. Do not try to lose 30 pounds in a week or
make up for the years that you have not exercised. Keep it easy, simply and fun to start!

Start with a mix of cardio and strength training (lifting). There are many things
integrated into strength training. Activation of muscles, balance and coordination
through different exercises. We are looking to build a healthier you, not a bigger,
stronger, faster you right off the jump. That takes time and dedication. Starting with low
intensity is key. This will help those that have not been working out much with muscle
soreness after the workout and days after. Since you are using muscles and putting
loads on muscles that you haven’t in a while, you are going to be a little sore, but
decreasing the intensity should decrease the soreness.

For those with goals getting bigger, stronger and faster, workouts will be different, and
recovery is key. But for the average person, we are looking at overall HEALTH GAINS
instead of Gainz! Killing yourself and having to miss a couple days because you are to
sore to more will not help as much as consistency will! So start easy, and build your way
to more weight and more intensity.

You Got This!

Everyone starts of not knowing much, but you will learn, and learn quickly of what and
how to do exercises. Again, start off with a class or a personal trainer to give you a base
of exercises so you can formulate a workout plan. Many gyms offer a complimentary
personal trainer session when you sign up for a new membership so please take
advantage of it!!

The biggest thing I can recommend is to enjoy yourself. It really will be miserable if you
hate what you are doing, or at least are not excited to see you reach whatever fitness
goal it is that you have set for yourself. You don’t have to love it right at the start, but
you should get excited knowing that if you get past the awful hump of the time
commitment, the soreness, and the torture, that you will be more
toned/stronger/faster… whatever it is that you want to be! Set achievable goals and
strive to make yourself a stronger and healthier you!

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call, message us or stop
in. As I said, I am obsessed with fitness, so I would love to help you reach your goals, and
help you find what works for you as well.

Flu season is upon us!!!

“My family does this, my mom does that”… we have all heard everyone’s “guaranteed” remedy to help us during this cold season, so I figured that I might toss my hat in the ring and share my go-to supplements that have a little bit of research and evidence behind why they help!



Vitamin D – 400IU-5000IU

First of all, many people, roughly 40% of the population, are deficient in Vitamin D. Vitamin D does a variety of things for our body, and one important job that it does is keeping our immune system strong. If you do not spend time in the sun, eat dairy, or are dark skinned, you are most likely deficient in Vitamin D. Taking Vitamin D and having the adequate amounts decrease the chance of getting the flu or respiratory infections. If you are deficient, taking Vitamin D with a fat, increase the absorption by 50%. Those that are not deficient, you will not see a change in flu or cold symptoms.

Zinc (100mg)

Our immune system needs zinc and many of the elderly population are deficient in this mineral. When Zinc is taken orally, it works on the throat on the way to the stomach. It decreases the length the flu or cold will last, while also decreasing the symptoms to make it more tolerable. However, more is not always better. Taking too much can decrease your immunity. I recommend taking a higher dosage for a week and then stopping (or taking much less).

Echinacea 900mg a day

This supplement is often used for respiratory infections. Researchers are unsure on how it works, but some studies show that is can cut the decrease the length of colds while also decreasing the severity of symptoms. Start Echinacea when you first getting signs or symptoms of a cold.

Vitamin C

When we are sick we always hear: “take Vitamin, eat your oranges, drink your juice!” All that advice does have some research backing what all of our parents and teachers tell us what to do! A recommend level is 2000mg of Vitamin C, when you hit your personal threshold, diarrhea is the outcome!


Probiotic

It all starts from within, so getting your gut healthy will help make the body healthy. The probiotics that we carry at Henry Chiropractic Center are Dr. Axes SBO Probiotic and ChiroNutraceutical Complete Probiotic, which are capsule form.

It is ideal to get nutrients from food, but when you need higher doses, supplements are a great source that should be taken advantage of. Also, spend the extra dollar to get a quality product and is not full of fillers. Before taking any supplement at high dosage, be sure to consult your doctor before, especially if you are on other medication or are pregnant. I hope this was helpful, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to call.

What is Chiropractic?

For those that have never been to a chiropractor, nervous about chiropractic, or just want to gain a little information about what we do, here you go! Chiropractors started 100+ years ago and there are now over 77,000 Chiropractors (DC) in the United States. Chiropractic has become the most popular type of alternative treatment and is becoming more mainstream every day.Scannable Fake ID, Many MD’s regularly refer their patients to us (Chiropractors) for help with a range of symptoms, everything from headaches and back pain, to ankle, elbow or knee issues. Even dentists are referring to chiropractors to help with TMJ issues. Chiropractic is becoming more and more important as we fight the opioid epidemic and try to get people out of pain without the harmful medications. While pain killers and surgery are needed,fake id maker,they are not always successful and it is smart to try a conservative approach first. In my opinion, it is best to start with the less invasive chiropractic adjustment, which goes well beyond bad backs.

 

With an adjustment, we can help with pain, inflammation, organ dysfunction, and that’s just the start. We do this by affecting the body’s nervous system and allowing the body to heal itself. We not only adjust the back and neck, but we adjust knees, wrist, elbows, hips, shoulder and feet! At Henry Chiropractic Center, we also offer nutritional advice and carry natural products to help with joint pain, ligament/tendon issues, weight loss, or athletic benefits. There are also a variety of therapy options that we offer to increase mobility, increase blood flow, decrease muscle spasm, and make you feel good! I am also an acupuncturist and tie that in with my chiropractic adjustment to prevent disease and decrease issues of the spine, joints and muscles of patient’s bodies.

 

As a Chiropractor, I focus on approach on subluxations, which are misalignments of the spine that cause issues of communication. It’s easy to think of our nervous system like a garden hose. If there is a pinch in your hose, you will have little to no flow of water. Fake ID,If we have a pinch in our nervous system, the flow of pain may get stopped somewhere, or rerouted to an area that is not actually the area of issue. It is easy for us to think that the spine is always the issue, but sometimes that is not always the case. A big example of misdirected pain stems from inflammation. Chiropractic treatment is great for chronic and acute problems to decrease pain and correcting the spine so the body can speed up the healing process thus decreasing the inflammation quicker.

 

Not only can our spine lead to other problems, it can have its own problems. Having lack of motion in any of our joints, lead to degeneration of those joints, and if left untreated, make it more difficult and harder to get fixed and often lead to issues that can not be resolved. We want to restore health when there is an issue, but like brushing our teeth, we want to maintain the spine and keep it functioning at its highest capability. Just like you know that you should visit the dentist for a check-up one or two times a year, you should also get your routine visit to the chiropractor. If you skip visits to the dentist, you could be getting horrible issues deep in your teeth, like a cavity. Alternatively, it is best to see your chiropractor every few months just for routine maintenance, and make sure that you don’t have any growing issues that, if left untreated and ignored, could turn out to be something more damaging.

 

As a chiropractor we either use our hands or an instrument, depending on a couple of factors, but also depends on the patient’s preference. There are indications that lead us towards using the instrument such as age, patient history, and the problem at hand. Some people do not like the “crack” and “pop” that happens when we use our hands to adjust their neck or back, so the instrument is the alternative for that.

 

There are also some questions we get asked quite regularly from those that have never been to a chiropractor, and don’t know what to expect:

Assumption: We only deal with back and neck pain.

Truth: We have patients that come in and only want their ankles, shoulders or knees worked on. Although there might be underlying issues and other things going on, we determine that through our examination and consultation to determine the best way to treat each person individually! We have been taught how to find subluxation with our hands, but we also often take X-rays to help with the specificity of the adjustments!

Assumption: We prescribe pills

Truth: We do not prescribe pills, but we do offer supplements to decrease pain and inflammation, which is often the root cause of the issue. We carry a wide variety of supplements here at Henry Chiropractic Center!

Assumption: Once you go to the chiropractor you always have to go.

Truth: I recommend an individual treatment plan after your first examination, which is customized for you with what I think you need to get the problem under control. Some patients respond quickly to care, some take a couple more visits, as one adjustment will normally not fix the problem, but in some cases it will! Many people decided to continue care, and do a “maintenance plan” to prevent further flare ups and they feel the positive power that an adjustment has on their overall being. Such benefits include lower stress, lower blood pressure, more mobility, and overall better feeling. I personally get adjusted once a week, but a normal maintenance plan ranges from 2 weeks to 5 weeks. You can take my recommendation how you would like to.. I am not going to force you into a contract for your care. I truly want to help make you feel better, and that includes you feeling comfortable with the amount of care visits that we discuss for you.

I hope this was helpful! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call, message us or stop in.
