Are you taking Omega3 fish oil supplements as part of your daily regimen?

If the answer is no, maybe you should be. Omega3 fatty acids, which are contained in Omega3 fish oil, may contain healthy nutrients that can help manage issues related to heart disease and other ailments, but are also helpful for those people who are in good health.

Some of the benefits of Omega3 fish oil can include:
   
    •    Lower blood pressure and reduced triglycerides.
    •    Slows the development of plaque in the arteries, a factor in reducing incidents of stroke or
         heart attack.
    •    Reduces the likelihood of death by cardiac arrest in those people who already have heart  
         disease.

A 2013 study also found some evidence that consumption of omega-3 fatty acids from marine animals may have anti-inflammatory effects, specifically lowering the pain in joints and reducing stiffness by reducing the makers of inflammation in the blood stream. Another area where Omega3 fatty acids could have benefits is in the area of mental health, particularly for those individuals suffering from depression. 

Talk with your health professional today to find out how Omega3 fish oil supplements can help you get-and stay- healthy.

How chiropractic care can get you that summer body!


Looking to find your swimsuit body in time for summer? Chiropractic care can help you get back the energy and confidence you need as you shed those winter clothes and head to the beach.
Nutrition is an essential element of chiropractic care and helping patients balance their diet and exercise is a big part of a wellness plan designed to make you look and feel better. Certified chiropractors can provide specific recommendations on supplements and nutritional choices that help get you back to tip-top shape. They can also tell you what vitamins and supplements are good for you, or even which ones don't work well together.
Studies indicate that better nutrition is one of the best ways to take weight off and keep it off. Tracking what you put into your body can ultimately shape what your body looks like. Knowing the proper mix of food, vitamins and supplements that work best for you can kick-start your plans for a better looking you for summer, or for a special event like a wedding or reunion.
Not sure on the physical connection between chiropractic care and a slimmer, healthier body? Adjustments to the spine and other areas of the body can actually reduce or eliminate problems with chronic pain and lack of flexibility, both factors in reducing your ability to exercise and maintain a more active lifestyle. Once you've fixed those barriers to better health, you should be able to ramp up your activity levels, bringing your body in balance.
Most people make New Year's resolution to lose weight, often losing interest in that goal several weeks into the new year. Making a commitment to look and feel better is the only way to change your body and mind for the long term. Want a better looking body you can be proud of ? Find out what chiropractic care can do for you. Most certified, licensed chiropractors offer an initial free consultation to assess where you're at, and how they can help you reach your goals quicker.
You don't have to do it alone!

Heart Healthy Awareness

February is National Heart Health month and every year in the United States more than a million people suffer a heart attack, more than half of the attacks resulting in death. Did you know that a visit to a chiropractor can help you keep your heart healthy?

Recent studies have shown that there is a connection between maintaining a healthy heart and chiropractic care. Although chiropractors are commonly known for treating back and neck pain, there is also a link between the autonomic nervous system and the performance of the heart. The body's cardiovascular system works with its nervous system to optimize the performance of your body, bringing these core functions together to keep you healthy.

Knowing how important chiropractic care is to your overall health, why not take advantage of an overall health and wellness plan that treats all parts of your body's critical functions? A chiropractor can assess your overall health and make the necessary adjustments to bring your body into alignment. Combining regular visits to your chiropractor, along with a commitment to a good diet and an exercise program, can bring you the best chance for a healthy and happy life.

As we celebrate National Heart Health month, think about how you can take the steps to make yourself feel better. Schedule a visit with a neighborhood chiropractor and be proactive in the fight against heart disease. While traditional medications can have side effects, chiropractic care delivers the best opportunity to bring your body into alignment and regulate all of the body's organs.

We're here to help you start feeling better today. When you think about your overall health, consider how a chiropractor can help you get where you need to be.

Making the decision to see a chiropractor - Why that should be your first step to better health!

If you're like a lot of people, you've struggled with issues like general aches and pains, poor nutritional habits, and just not feeling well. That's your body telling you that something just isn't right! A visit to a chiropractor can help you get back on track and that visit starts with an assessment of your overall health and well being.
At your first appointment, a chiropractor will talk with you about your health-related problems and discuss potential treatment options. Once you've talked, they'll perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility, as well as performing some other simple physical tests. Nothing will be done without your consent and with a full understanding of what each procedure means for your health. Depending on your current physical condition, x-rays may be taken to provide some additional information.
After reviewing your health history,  health-related goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, your chiropractor will lay out a wellness plan that best meets your needs. This could include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and/or soft tissue massage. Treatment is interactive, so feel free to express any concerns about the different styles of treatment, or ask questions. It's your body, and by partnering with your chiropractor throughout your treatments, you'll get the best results.
Each of us is different, and because of that everyone requires-and deserves-a customized wellness plan. That program should help you achieve good spinal alignment, a better diet, and improve your state of mind. Take that first step!  Call a chiropractor today and see how they can help you start feeling better.

Look to Chiropractic Care for Treatment for a Workplace-Related Injury

If you're injured at work, chiropractic care can be an accepted form of medical treatment for your injury.  It's not uncommon to have back-related injuries on the job, especially if your work involves physical labor or heavy lifting. Utilizing chiropractic care is cost-efficient, and quick, focused treatments can get you feeling better and back to work sooner.

After your employer's insurance carrier has accepted your chiropractic care provider, schedule a consultation appointment for an assessment of your pain, and to determine a course of treatment. While you're under the treatment of a chiropractor, it's important to avoid any activity which can reinjure or damage the area of your injury. Your employer may also discontinue treatment if they can prove that you are engaging in physical activity that aggravates an injury.

Once at your chiropractor, your provider should educate you on the long term effects of your injury, and how to minimize any further damage. Treatment could involve manual therapy, or soft tissue rehabilitation. Manual therapy can include occasional adjustments, designed to restore normal movement and position joints. Soft tissue rehabilitation is designed to return tight or damaged soft tissues throughout the body to regular motion, including massage therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, and strength and range-of-motion exercises.

A full and speedy recovery should be the goal of any chiropractic plan for a worker's compensation-related injury. Treatments can also include ice pack therapy, range of motion exercises, and nutritional supplements. Don't let a workplace injury linger any longer than it has to. Seek out the care of a licensed chiropractor and start feeling better today.

At Pravo Wellness we are committed to diagnosing not only what's causing your pain, but also working with our patients to determine what's the best course of action to eliminate it. We're committed to getting your days back on track and your life back to normal.
There are several ways that chiropractic and rehabilitative care can help with your pain. By treating the individual with different treatments specific to their needs, pain from injury or accident can be minimized, almost immediately. Here are a few ways that a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan can make a difference.
 
 •    Manual Therapy - Occasional adjustments, utilizing manipulation of soft tissues, can restore your body's normal movements and position joints.
  
•    Soft Tissue Rehabilitation - Noninvasive treatments can often repair tight or damaged soft tissue with massage, trigger point therapy, stretching, and range-of-motion exercises. These can be done in combination or as stand alone therapies.
  
•    Individual and balanced programs - Tailored to the individual, these programs can improve your posture and range of motion, adding in the benefits of good nutrition and ice pack therapy.
 According to WebMD, 22 million Americans visit a chiropractor annually, more than a third of those visits for treatment of back pain. With a simple initial consultation, a qualified chiropractic professional can help you figure out the best course of action for reducing your pain in the short term, and making it just a painful memory.

The Road to Stress Recovery


Your body's stress levels can impact your health and wellness. As your anxiety rises, aches, pains and chronic illness can become the biggest challenge you face every day. Why not look at what's causing these symptoms and help your body heal itself?
Chiropractic Care and a healthy nutritional plan can address many of the reasons why you're feeling the way you do. New techniques in chiropracty care can deliver relief more safely and comfortably than ever before. Balanced with nutritional supplements and a healthy eating plan, we can bring you back to health quicker and more effectively, often better than traditional medicine.
Your road to recovery starts with a plan to relieve the pain you're currently suffering. Utilizing the newest chiropractic procedures, as soon as your first visit our professional staff will determine what's causing your pain and make the adjustments necessary to get you back to feeling better. Typically, a new patient would need adjustments 2-3 times per week during a three month period.
Once we've reduced the pain you're feeling and your muscles and tissues slowly return to normal, we can put together a total wellness plan that will bring your body back to 100%, giving you the life and lifestyle you've been waiting for.  Our doctors and professional staff can tailor a plan to meet your schedule and your goals.
Finally, when you're feeling like your "new" self again, monthly chriopractic adjustments will keep your body aligned and functioning properly. With a healthy nutritional plan and rejuvenated muscles and tissues, your goals will no longer seem out of your reach. Why not find out what your body is capable of, instead of what's holding you back?
