1st day of SCHOOL 2013!
Many parents remarked that the school bags of their Primary 1 kids are so HEAVY… Heavy for the parents? Imagine the little ones in Primary 1?
While the system takes its time to resolve the heavy school bags issue, let’s make sure the little ones know how to manage the weight on their small physique.
Overloading the body, plus prolonged improper posture at a young age will affect the child’s physical structure and health eventually.
Common conditions include (but not exclusive to):
POOR FOCUS
HUNCHING
UNEVEN SHOULDERS/HIPS
FATIGUE
HEADACHES
BACK PAIN
LOW IMMUNITY
MOOD SWINGS
POOR PSYCHOMOTOR SKILLS…
Take the images here as a guide and ensure that the kids observe proper posture when carrying their school bags.
Note: The height of the backpack should not be taller than the child when seated and the width not wider than the shoulders.
Adopt proper posture.
Carrying the bag on one side is not advisable.
Take good care and positive steps to prevent future health issues from HEAVY SCHOOL BAGS!

By the time you feel pain in your tooth or (spinal) bone, It may be too late…Your tooth and spinal bone cannot feel pain (no sensation).It’s the nerves around them that “feel”. When there’s decay and degeneration on the tooth or spinal bone/disc, you will not feel PAIN until the problem deteriorates and starts affecting the nerves around them. That takes time to happen…By the time you feel pain, most likely the problem has already progressed.No pain DOES NOT equal No problem.Like getting our teeth checked and maintained regularly, it is as important that we get our spine checked regularly for degeneration and misalignments.

WHY DO WE HAVE FEVER? It is our body’s AUTO Response to fight and kill viruses/bacteria that are infecting our body.This is Innate Intelligence.Made possible via healthy communication of the brain and nerves with the rest of the body.Example of Innate Intelligence:1) When we have a small cut on our finger, it’ll heal by itself eventually. New cells will be produced to cover up the cut. We don’t need to physically sew/glue and seal up the small cut. White blood cells will be sent to the cut area to fight any invading bacteria etc. to prevent infection. All that will happen without conscious command from us.FEVERWhen our body gets infected by foreign bodies, the brain will raise the temperature of our body; in effort to use HEAT to kill the invaders or at least make the environment unfavorable for the invaders to multiply.It is a very important natural process in building …

Strong core is key to maximizing sports performance.But most importantly having a strong core helps support the spine better. The spine is the pillar of the body and health. Do you know your core muscles?. ABDOMINAL. LOW BACK. HIP It’s good to know them so you will know what to focus on for core workouts!

CAROLE LIN PATIENT & CREATIVE CONSULTANT for WfLC Years ago, I injured my knees and back and had surgery on one knee.I began having pain in my knees, joints and back/hip very often after the incident.It was a chiropractic checkup at Wellness for Life Chiropractic that showed me that it could be my spinal injury that was causing all my pain. The chiropractic adjustments and care not only relieved my aches and tension, my headaches are relieved most times without medication. I look and function better with improved posture too. With Chiropractic, the relief from pain; the reduction of toxins from lesser medication; the boosting of immune system; and the following of its indoctrination on balanced lifestyle, stretches and exercises, allow me to be physically and mentally more balanced.I get to stay active, do more in life and stay well.

How is your POSTURE? How is your HEALTH?Visit our Wellness Week roadshow for a free spine scan and posture check by our Doctors of Chiropractic! . Chevron House (Raffles Place) . 20-24 Feb, Mon-Fri. Good posture helps us stand, walk, sit, and lie in positions that place the least strain on supporting muscles and ligaments. It also reduces wear and tear of our joints as well as the chances of getting injured during the performance of most activities. Most importantly, POSTURE is the window to our SPINE. The spine protects the spinal cord, our nervous system.Poor posture equals poor spinal structure, creating unhealthy pressure on the nerves. Therefore, the structure of the spine affects the function of the nervous system; and the nervous system affects the function of the body. Poor posture is evident in adults and children. Children are especially prone to it with heavy school bags and long hours of studying. …

Our Nervous System- We are taught and constantly reminded on the importance of the Respiratory System and the Cardiovascular System; BUT do we know much about the Nervous System? The Nervous System- (brain, spinal cord and nerves) controls and coordinates every function in the body. The nerve supply is the literal LIFE and POWER for the body. A weakened nervous system and nerve-flow will mean a weakened bodily function. The spine protects the spinal cord. Chiropractic ensures that the spine is optimally aligned and healthy; so it does its job best in protecting the spinal cord and not putting pressure on the nerves (interfering nerve flow and causing lowered state of health or pain). It is therefore important to 1st check and ensure that your health issue is not caused by spine and nerve-related issue. So check in with a Doctor of Chiropractic (who is trained in the full correction …

FETAL DEVELOPMENT- Central Nervous System (Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves)@Week 3 Our Central Nervous System (CNS) is so important that its genesis begins at the early stage of fetal development!Its presence at this stage of fetal development is absolutely crucial and necessary for the full development of the fetus (the organs, membranes, systems and other structures). It is when and where the brain will transmit messages down the spinal cord and via the nerves to ensure the normal formation and function of the fetus. Any damage to the CNS will cause fetal abnormality. Damage to the pregnant mother’s nervous system will affect the fetus too. It is the same for babies, children and adults. The health of the nervous system will affect the health of an individual. Take care of our CNS.Take care of our SPINE because it plays an important role in protecting our CNS.

Everyone has to know how IMPORTANT the spine is! The brain controls body function by sending signals via the spinal cord and nerves to the rest of the body.The spinal cord sits within the spine with nerves branching out from the spine.A well-aligned spine connects brain/body function efficiently via the nerves when they are not affected by misaligned spine.When the spine is misaligned or in serious cases, got injured, the nerves around the problem area will most probably get affected.That is also why some people become paralyzed from serious spinal injuries.Reminder:Even daily poor lifestyle habits can cause spinal misalignments. With optimal signals/messages running efficiently to and fro the brain and body, we will also function optimally with greater possibilities for greater health and a more active life.Share with your loved ones the importance of the #spine and nervous system!Stay aligned with #Chiropractic:www.wellnessforlife.com.sg

Do you suffer from frequent infection of all sorts?- Flu, cough, poor digestive system, or infection of the eye & urinary tract… Instead of relying on medication to fix the symptoms, why not build your immunity against (prevent) the problem?Besides natural approaches like eating well and exercising to boost your immune system- People under regular chiropractic care: > have a 400% stronger immune system than people with cancer (not under chiropractic care); > and a 200% stronger immune system than ‘healthy’ non-cancer group (also not under chiropractic care). ~ research done by Ronald Pero, PhD, at New York University. People under chiropractic care also take significantly less medication. With better nutrition, exercise and mental well-being; all these factors play a major role in increasing immunity. Are you being pro-active in building a stronger immune system and win the war against infection? Read more in HEALTH FACTS @www.wellnessforlife.com.sg/whatischiropractic.html
