“If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” This may just sound like an old adage, but it is also something I hear from patients everyday. Luckily, whether you are at that point or not, does not mean you can’t do something about it. We are living through a time right now where it is becoming increasingly evident how important it is to take care of your health. You reap what you sow. If you are constantly seeking ways to improve your health and wellness, you will likely live with far less sickness and disease than most. Health, for the most part, is an inside job. Commit to finding new ways to be healthy in Fredonia every year.

Coming Soon to Fredonia

This brings me to some new and exciting news about two new wellness-focused options that will be available at the office in Fredonia.

HYDROMASSAGE:

This is the perfect complement to chiropractic care. Think of it as a massage without the therapist. Hydromassage is convenient, affordable, and accessible to nearly all patients. You are able to customize both the amount of pressure used as well as what part of the body to be targeted. Short on time? Reserve as little as 10 minutes on the massage lounge chair for a quick burst of relaxation in the middle of your day. It can provide the following benefits and more:

• Temporary relief from minor aches and pains
• Reduce levels of stress and anxiety
• Increases circulation in areas targeted
• Relieves muscle soreness, stiffness, and tension.

WHOLE BODY VIBRATION THERAPY:

Sonic whole body vibration therapy is state of the art technology and can provide people of all ages with tremendous benefits. Sonic (sound) wave vibrations are generated using highly advanced sonic speaker mechanisms. These mechanisms exercise muscle fibers to repeat very fast contraction and relaxation actions which strengthens the body such as in traditional exercise. It can be used in both a seated or standing position. In just 10 minutes, over 900 muscles in your body will contract simultaneously, creating the equivalent of 60 minutes of aerobic exercise. Sonic vibration therapy can also provide a long list of clinical benefits including the following:

• Increases secretion of hormones that are important in regeneration and repair processes, such as HGH (Human Growth Hormone), IGF-1, and testosterone.
• Increases the "happiness" hormones serotonin and neurotrophine
• Increases flexibility, range of motion, mobility, balance and coordination
• Accelerates weight loss
• Increases bone density, and many times reverses the effects of osteoporosis.
• Strengthening of lower back and pelvic floor muscles, leading to a reduction in back pain.

We are very excited to bring these two new cutting edge technologies to the office to help improve your overall health and wellness. Now, more than ever, it is extremely important to double down on your focus to improve the health of your body. Chiropractic care is obviously a very important piece of this puzzle to maintain a well-functioning nervous system. Implementing sonic vibration and/or hydromassage, along with other healthy lifestyle choices can help take you to a new level.

LIVE well. BE well
