STRAIGHTEN UP & MOVE!
“Every year on October 16th people from around the world join together to raise awareness on World Spine Day as part of the Bone and Joint Decade’s Action Week.
Spinal disorders, such as back pain, neck pain, scoliosis and disc disease, to name a few are common, and they can have a profound effect on a person’s overall health, impacting a person’s ability to work, to enjoy everyday activities and even disrupting healthy sleep patterns.
Research has demonstrated that poor postures and inactivity can contribute to the development of back pain, neck pain and other spinal disorders.
That’s why this year’s theme for World Spine Day is “Straighten Up and Move,” focusing on the importance of proper posture and movement in maintaining good spinal health…”

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.

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 …

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. That is why I am working with Wellness for Life …

(Image: BlackMilk) How Do We Clean Our Spine? We clean our teeth, face and hair daily.We get them maintained by our dentist, beautician and hair stylist.We do that so they can last us a lifetime without “decaying”.But… Do we “clean” or maintain our spine?The structure that holds us up and protects our primary life support system (Central Nervous System). Years of neglect and “abuse” (poor lifestyle habits/ injury/ birth trauma) to our spine can lead to spinal decay.It could be the cause of many of our health issues including: . Headaches. Back/Joint pain. Fatigue. Spinal degeneration (bone spurs…). Postural distortion (hunching). Numbness in the limbs. Low immunity (frequent colds…). Poor health…Keys to maintaining healthier spine to last us a lifetime: Daily-. Stretch your body . Move more; and take breaks from smart phones or computer or our love-affair with the CHAIR. Adopt proper posture in everything we do. Avoid carrying stuff …

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! Core strength is more than just having six pack abs.The “core” actually consists of many different muscles that stabilize the spine, pelvis and shoulder girdle. A strong core improves balance and weight shifting multi-directionally, stablizes the spine to allow us to stand upright. There are many benefits of having a strong core, some including reducing back pain, improving postural imbalances and increasing athletic ability and perfomance. Core strengthening exercise programs need to target all the muscle groups within the “core” region to be effective.

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. …

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.

PICK YOUR SHOES WISELY… They can affect your health, safety, happiness & LIFE. Here’s why: ILL-FITTING SHOES: No ill-fitting or poor quality shoes! High or flat heeled shoes, do ensure that they- . Fit well and not too tight; . Have good and non-slip heel; . Made from breathable, flexible and preferably natural material; . Have comfy interior and sole. Going for cheap and poorly-made shoes (no matter how gorgeous looking they are), will only put your wellbeing and safety at risk. HIGH HEELS: We can wear the most expensive and great quality high heels but frequent wearing can still affect your wellbeing. When your center of gravity is off and your spine is out of alignment, it’s more likely for accidents to occur. Also, with your body constantly attempting to keep the balance, you will generally feel more fatigued. SPORTS SHOES: Remember to wear the right kind of sports shoes …

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
