20 Reasons Your Head is not on Straight – could this be you??

http://www.thebalancedspine.com Our bodies stand up well to the many falls, bumps and impacts that occur in life, or do they? Although cuts and bruises heal, bumps recede and muscle tissue can be repaired, our skeletal structure remembers these impactful incidents. The long-term effects of accidents, whether big or small, can cause your atlas (top bone of your spine) to be out of alignment. This misalignment can cause pain, discomfort and long-term debilitation that is not necessary to live with.

20 Reasons Your Head Isn't On Straight - Could This Be You?

20 Reasons your head isn’t on straight – could this be you??


1. You were dropped as a baby, (whether or not it was on your head).

2. You had a hard fall.

3. You bumped your head getting into the car or through a low door.

4. A ball hit you in the head during 7th grade dodge ball.

5. You have ridden on a roller coaster.

6. You were in a car accident…even if you hit a tree at 5 mph after your wife broke in your back window with a golf club.

7. Your wife threw a cell phone at your head and broke a tooth. Or any time you were hit hard enough in the mouth to break a tooth.

8. The doctors pulled you out by your head during birth.

9. You stress out. Stress increases muscle tension thus accentuating imbalances in the spine.

10. You played football, rugby, or any other sport with physical collisions.

11. You were punched in the head.

12. You fell off a bike.

13. You fell out of bed - especially the top bunk.

14. You sleep on your stomach (with your head turned one direction for several hours).

15. You have had the flu and had horrible, jarring coughing/vomiting attacks.

16. You sit at the computer for several hours in a slouched position.

17. You wakeboard or snowboard.

18. You dove into the shallow end of the pool.

19. You have fallen asleep on the couch with your head on the arm rest.

20. You got stuck sitting in front row of the movie theater.

If any of these sound like you please visit Dr. Traci Grandfield at The Balanced Spine to have your spine checked. (425) 437-9974 http://www.thebalancedspine.com/

10 Ways to Reduce Holiday Stress





10 Ways to Reduce Holiday Stress





1. Stick to your exercise routine. Remember the 3 E’s: empowerment…endorphins…energy

2. Sleep. Best to reduce/eliminate TV watching one hour before bed. Give your mind a chance to slow down.

3. Make a list…of things to do and limit too many endeavors scheduled in one day.

4. Get Adjusted. Chiropractic care relieves stress on the nervous system and body. http://www.thebalancedspine.com/

5. Breathe. When things get overwhelming stop and take three deep breaths.

6. Be nice. Do something nice for someone in need.

7. Be selfish. Do at least one thing to nurture yourself once per week. Block off 30 min. of “me time”.

8. Take one day at a time.

9. Turn down the noise. i.e. TV and radio

10. Call Grandma. You can’t be stressed out when you’re talking to grandma.

**Eat well. Drink water.
