Get Moving

The old saying, “Use it or lose it” applies here. Research has shown that bed rest or a sedentary lifestyle can actually slow your recovery.

Brisk Walking

Regular exercise is crucial for countless bodily functions. Aerobic exercise can aid the healing process. That doesn’t mean you have to invest in expensive club memberships or the latest exercise equipment! Something as simple and inexpensive as regular swimming at a community pool or 20 minutes of brisk walking every other day can produce beneficial results.

Lift Your Spirits

As you are able, participate in activities that can safely raise your heart rate and increase your endurance. Park your car in an outlying spot and walk. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Look for ways to burn calories and remain active. Besides improving your strength and vitality, you’ll enjoy a lift in your spirits as endorphins are released. Need some guidance? Just ask.

Dr. Levi Asks some important questions of interest to Laurel residents - Chiropractor Laurel Dr. Levi Asks...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
