A Book and Its Cover

Back pain

A book cover may not necessarily tell the whole story and may not accurately portray the nature of the contents within. Publishing companies pay high salaries to their marketing staff to create cover copy that will entice prospective buyers to make a purchase. But many times the book itself does not live up to the hype. Similarly, fitness clubs and weight loss programs promote their services by pitching the ideal of slim, well-toned members; happy, young people whom you would be unlikely to ever encounter during your actual real life.

Commercial pitches typically focus on the superficial characteristics of whatever is being promoted. The well-worn guidance in advertising states, "It's not the steak. It's the sizzle." But in terms of health and wellness, what's happening on the inside is what counts. It may be personally gratifying to look good, but being buff does not by itself guarantee good health.

Many cautionary tales demonstrate the accuracy of this assessment, including the untimely demise in his early 50s of a renowned long-distance runner and best-selling author of a book that celebrated the running ethos. Ensuring long-lasting health and well-being is an ongoing process and requires commitment and dedication. The general components are: healthy nutrition, regular vigorous exercise, sufficient restful sleep and a positive mental attitude

It is likely that at various times, most of us will fail to fulfill one or more of these requirements. The key is to acknowledge that sometimes other life concerns take precedence and return to our healthy lifestyles as quickly as possible.

By incorporating healthy lifestyles in our daily activities, we train our bodies to work efficiently and effectively. The long-term result is optimal levels of health and wellness. When we eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and obtain necessary rest, all of our physiological systems obtain the resources they need to function well and work in harmony with every other system.

An additional support to achieving ongoing health and wellness is getting regular chiropractic care. Regular chiropractic care helps to ensure that your nerve system, your body's master system, is on the job and coordinating all of your body's internal functions that help to keep you well. By detecting and correcting spinal misalignments that are sources of nerve interference, regular chiropractic care helps you and the members of your family be healthy and achieve wellness and your other life goals.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • ""Dr. Suppes has helped me with extremely tight shoulders and lower back. I work on a computer and carry stress in my shoulders and neck so she has been a lifesaver for me. I like it that she uses manual and activator to adjust me. It seems to work a lot better with both! I go regularly and it's been great! thank you so much, Dr. Suppes, for the amazing adjustments! Your a great chiropractor! ""

  • ""There is no better place to be then in the care of your chiropractor!!! You will find, your pain is not a lifestyle. Dr. Janice is a miracle worker. Like a divine spirit there to take away your pain and to teach you exercises on how to keep it away. If you're honest with yourself and to her you will feel like 1 million bucks. I was barely able to walk at the biginning of the week and was on Workman's Comp and then at the end of the week I felt good enough to do jumping jacks of joy!!! But I will just settle on some yoga to strengthen and stretch. thank you so much Sundial and the angels they have working there!!!!!!! ""
