What is Body Cleansing?

Body cleansing has become essential in today’s modern society. An increase in environmental toxicity coupled with unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles has resulted in a drastic increase in illness and physical complaints such as headaches, fatigue and general feelings of “un-wellness”.

We expose our bodies to a tremendous amount of toxins via the food we eat, the water we drink, and the polluted environment that we live in and eventually our bodies reach a point where they can no longer cope without a little help.

While our bodies have a miraculous and natural ability to expel these toxins, it helps to partake in a natural detoxification once in a while to get rid of the backlog of pollutants that build up in our system over time.

A body cleanse or body detox is also a great way to give your body a boost after a night of over-indulgence, eating all the wrong foods and consuming more alcohol than is healthy. Similarly a detox after Read the rest of this entry →

With our focus on Omega 3′s this week, I have been hearing about, and doing a little research on, the benefit of Omega 3′s with people who have ADHD symptoms.  Here is a pretty concise article highlighting the reasons why Fish Oil can be a great alternative treatment for ADHD.  As a side note, we like the Omega 3.6.9 liquid from Biogenesis that comes in a yummy lemon flavored liquid!

Alternative ADHD Treatment: Fish Oil

Research on alternative ADHD treatments suggests a daily fish oil capsule can help curb the symptoms of attention deficit without medication.

by Tina Adler

Could a daily fish oil capsule help curb the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD ADHD) in children and adults? alternative ADHD treatment really help?

Quite possibly, suggests the latest research – including a study published in the May 5, 2005, issue of Pediatrics. “A lack of certain polyunsaturated fatty acids may contribute to dyslexia and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder,” reports one of the study’s authors, Paul Montgomery, D.Phil., a researcher in the psychiatry department at the University of Oxford in Read the rest of this entry →

As parents we face specific challenges when it comes to lifting, carrying, bending and twisting.  It is important to know that small, simple, repetitive movements can lead to serious and painful injuries.  As a parent, most of us can’t afford to have a back or shoulder injury.  Having two small children I know that it is important to protect my body and prevent injuries.  As a chiropractor, I know how valuable it is to teach other parents easy ways to protect themselves and prevent injuries.  We teach a class at Washington Park Chiropractic called “Parenting Ergonomics” in which parents and caregivers will learn detailed information about how best to incorporate proper ergonomics into their lives.  Here are three of my favorite tips:

1. Carrying: When carrying a child or an infant carrier be sure to switch sides.  Do not get in the habit of always holding a child on your left hip because you are right handed.  This will create a lot of rotation and torsion in your pelvis which can lead to catastrophic lower back pain over time.  This is particularly important if you have more than one child.  *Additionally, in our class we Read the rest of this entry →

You may be asking yourself, “How can one massage therapist perform a massage with four hands??”  They can’t!  This massage is performed by two therapists at the same time.  Amanda and Ashley will work on you simultaneously for the most therapeutic massage you have ever had.  This is a very powerful massage and because it can be hard to keep track of what each therapist is doing, it is a great massage for those who have a hard time giving up control or relaxing during a massage.
