TIPS FOR WORKING AT HOME Have you started working from home because of COVID-19? Maybe you're newly homeschooling your kids or simply spending more time keeping up with all the latest news. Accessing technology from the couch or kitchen in your PJs sounds comfortable at first. But poor posture leads to aches and pains, which can develop into chronic back, neck, shoulder and wrist injuries.... You might not have an ergonomic workstation in your home. But we've got your back. Working or learning from home doesn't have to be painful. And a setup that keeps you and your family pain-free doesn't have to be expensive. 5 simple ways to work in comfort and protect your spinal health. 1. Lift your laptop If you're using your laptop at the kitchen table, it might be positioned too low. Place a few books or a shoebox underneath it so you are looking directly at the screen. This is easy to adjust for your smaller family members and will stop you from leaning forward and bending your necks. 2. Raid the linen closet No cushy desk chair? No problem. Slip a thin cushion under your seat and a rolled-up towel behind your lower back. This lumbar support will help to prevent low back pain. 3. Stand up You don't need an expensive standing desk. A simple hack like placing a large cardboard box on your kitchen table can raise your laptop enough to be effective. Try to alternate between sitting and standing. We recommend standing while on calls or watching videos to get started. 4. Go wireless Wireless gadgets are affordable game-changers. A wireless headset can relieve the strain an extended cell phone call puts on your neck. Wireless keyboard & mouse combinations allow you to keep a comfortable typing position while elevating your screen as needed. 5. Stretch it out Make sure every family member takes time to move at least once an hour. Neck rolls, shoulder rolls, and gentle spinal twists will help keep you flexible. Finally, don't forget to take plenty of breaks. This is a stressful time, and it's important to give yourself the physical and mental space to stay healthy. Stay Safe, stay healthy, stay connected.

Around 1895, Dr. D.D. Palmer the creator of Chiropractic said, Doctors of the future will interest their patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease. How true that is both then and today. As a practicing Chiropractor in today’s modern world, I am so happy and proud that advances in science and research consistently support the foresight of Dr. Palmer’s second point - diet. Truly, we are what we eat. Your diet is one of t...he most constructive proactive health care choices you have to build an optimally functioning YOU. Let’s take a look at a few recent articles to help you make good choices in these challenging times. A highly functioning immune system is key to the body’s defense system. The following article on foods for the immune system by Lisa Drayer is well written and insightful. https://www.cnn.com//immunity-diet-food-coronav/index.html It is also known that refined sugars can have a detrimental effect and serve to curb your immune system. As tempting as it is to stress eat, now more than ever resist that extra Cola or cookie. This article by Leigh Weingus is an eye opener. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca//sugar-weaken-immune-system_ Make good choices. Stay healthy. Stay in touch.

"STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS. Coincidence? I think not!" -Unknown author In this edition of our remote outreach let’s talk BALANCE ... In times of perceived uncertainty, BALANCE is often the prey of fear. The ability to maintain BALANCE, push back fear, center oneself, stay focused, make sound decisions, and be calm under pressure are valuable tools, that few, if any, come by naturally. I know the MIND can race in all directions, creating more anxiety than need be. It is only through focused mental practice, concentration, and genuine effort do we find true inner peace, BALANCE, and insight. We have created an audio on Guided Centering Meditation to help you find BALANCE in these times (thank you Tina). Please view the video attached to this post to access the workshop at any time. CERTAINTY trumps FEAR. I am certain the sun will come up tomorrow. I am certain there is a valuable silver lining to the current cloud we find ourselves. I am certain that you are loved and valued more than you believe. If your mind races to be STRESSED, race the other direction, you’ll find DESSERTS! YUM. Thinking of you. Dr. B., Tina, and Sam
