Healthy Hints from Our Chiropractic Clinic: Four Great Reasons to Lose Some Weight

Weight control is a huge problem for many people in our country. We hope that by reminding our Aurora and Centennial readers about some of the benefits that come with weight loss, we will inspire change and positively impact lives.

Weight loss can have a major impact on your overall health. Shedding just a few pounds can lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes and will help you live longer.

After losing weight, you will also notice that your stamina and energy level are substantially improved.

You will feel better about yourself and, as a result, will likely notice an improvement in your personal relationships.

In addition, you will look great! Your clothes will fit better, and you will look better in them.

At our Aurora chiropractic care office, we encourage you to further improve your health and wellness through constructive weight loss programs. Our Aurora and Centennial chiropractor is happy to help you find a weight management system that is tailored to your needs and will work for you.

Introducing an Innovative Weight Loss Method Recommended By Our Chiropractor

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method might be exactly what you need to help you start efficiently shedding pounds. For most people, the cause of a weight problem stems from insulin dysfunction. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is designed to help improve this dysfunction by stabilizing the pancreas and blood sugar levels. At the same time, this system will help you burn fat while maintaining muscle and other lean tissue. This easy four step protocol also encourages cellulite reduction!

While on this program, women tend to lose an average of 3 to 4 pounds per week, and men lose approximately 4 to 7 pounds per week. In addition to weight loss, participants experience many other added benefits, including improved skin tone, improved energy, appetite control and reduced blood pressure.

We would love to hear from our readers about weight loss and the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method!

What are some reasons you have for trying to lose weight?

Centennial Chiropractor, Dr. JT Anderson wants back pain and neck pain sufferers in the Aurora area to find freedom from pain; and since prevention transcends repair, this edition of our blog, covers five tips for avoiding back problems altogether:

1. Posture — Slouching may seem relaxing initially, but it actually strains and damages the spine, causing problems throughout the body. Sit with the back straight against the chair (lumbar support is a good idea), with the feet evenly spaced and flat on the floor. A chiropractic session can help patients identify and correct posture problems.

2. Exercise — 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily generates optimum health by strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, increasing circulation and aiding weight loss. Overweight patients suffer more back troubles because extra weight can strain muscles and pull the spine out of alignment.

3. Sleep — Everybody needs sufficient deep sleep for optimum health and healing, but sleeping on an overly hard mattress, or with a pillow that misaligns the neck, can ruin a good night’s sleep and cause more aches and pains. Check that mattresses, pillows and the sleeping position itself create a neutral spinal alignment for optimum comfort, rest and healing.

4. Nutrition — Along with exercise, good nutrition is crucial for keeping bones, muscles and all bodily systems working properly, not to mention that eating right helps patients achieve or maintain the proper weight, which, in turn, reduces stress on the spine.

5. Lifting — When lifting heavy boxes, wiggling toddlers or any other large something, remember to lift with the legs, not the back. Always keep the back straight and neutral to avoid injury. People who carry heavy backpacks, briefcases or purses should also try to lighten their loads or find ways to distribute the load more evenly to reduce stress on the back.

And now we’d like to hear from our neighbors and patients: What are some other great ways to prevent back pain?

At JT Anderson Chiropractic center in Centennial, we have been helping patients from the Centennial, Aurora, and the surrounding areas since 1995. At our chiropractic clinic, we truly believe in redefining wellness. Our chiropractor, JT Anderson, and the rest of our chiropractic health staff will help you reach your health goals, whatever they may be. In addition to helping patients with back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches, we have a great deal of experience treating sports injuries, and we are the team chiropractor to The Denver Outlaws Lacrosse organization and former team chiropractor to The Denver Broncos and the Colorado Crush football teams. A great therapy we have had great results with at the office is all-natural, non-invasive spinal decompression and disc decompression therapies. While the name is fancy, the idea behind spinal decompression is simple, and involves gently relieving pressure on the spine using a specialized decompression table. Many patients actually find spinal decompression performed by a chiropractor comfortable or relaxing, and for patients with neck pain, back pain, and headaches, the results of disc decompression therapy speak for themselves.

Now that we’ve talked about what our chiropractor and staff have been doing to help patients maximize their lives and goals for over 15 years at our clinic, it’s time to talk about what we’ve been doing in the recent past to help improve our online chiropractic presence. In 2010, we completely revamped our online presence with this informational website about JT Anderson Chiropractic. Today, in 2011, we are excited to bring the residents of Centennial and Aurora this new chiropractic blog to help share information about the latest wellness news, chiropractic topics, and other health articles to help keep you educated on how to best take care of yourself so you can live the true wellness lifestyle.

As we create new posts for our blogs, we hope to promote awareness about chiropractic care and encourage patients to live healthfully!
