As the corona virus has made several headlines and caused closings throughout the city, we wanted to send you all a message to let you know that Universal Wellness Source is here for you. At UWS, we DO NOT plan to close our doors during this time of heightened concern, but we DO plan to continue to be here for our patients and our community! We are following the CDC guidelines and will ensure that we, at no time, have 50+ people in our offices at the same time.
What can UWS do for you?? Chiropractic Adjustments are imperative to a properly functioning nervous system and Optimal health. Spinal Adjustments are known to reduce inflammation and BOOST your immune system!! Stress can cause your body to go into a “sympathetic” state – which can really make you susceptible to illness – chiropractic takes your body from Sympathetic to Parasympathetic, which can help protect you from decreased immunity.
Since chiropractic care is so important for a healthy functioning central nervous system, our clinics are taking steps to ensure we can provide a clean and safe environment for you to come and get your immune boosting chiropractic adjustments! Our team is sanitizing all clinic equipment frequently throughout our days and we’re setting out extra bottles of hand sanitizer for team members and patients to use at our offices.
The most important things you can do to ensure you and your family have highly functioning immune systems:
1. Stay on track with your regularly scheduled Chiropractic Adjustments & Therapies – If anything, you could probably use an extra adjustment or two for an extra immune boost.
2. Get adequate rest. Our bodies recharge and heal when we sleep. Adding an extra 30 minutes or so to your normal sleep routine can make a big difference!
3. Go for a walk – sunlight (natural Vitamin D) and exercise are two ways to help increase immunity…and fresh air is always helpful!
4. Supplementation!! You’ll find some links below for some supplements that we stand by. All supplements are NOT Created equal. i.e. some can be GMO with artificial ingredients, fake sugars and additives – they can actually do more harm than good in some cases! We’ve shared some links to supplements that we KNOW are very high quality – ones that we take ourselves and give to our families/children.
5. The obvious – practice heightened hygiene procedures…washing hands, sanitizing, etc.
6. Diet – avoid sugary foods and alcohol. These things can decrease your immune system and make you more susceptible to illness.
7. Lastly, but arguably very important, destress…turn off the news and the social media …give your mind a break…look at the facts…and breathe.
The Products/Supplements we highly recommend:
• Vitamin D – Liquid or Capsule: Vitamin D3 helps to naturally boost your immune system. As you know, most of us that live in the Midwest…especially during the winter, are deficient in VitD. This comes in liquid or capsule form…

• Essential Oils – We have been using On Guard every day on ourselves (and our kids). There are many essential oils that can help boost immunity. Drs. Jim, Dawn & Ashlin are all able to get high quality EO’s through Doterra if you’re in need, so just ask us when you’re in this week.
We appreciate each and every one of you and we hope to see you all this week for your adjustments!
