Good morning to everyone in Louisville. Well, here we go again, another drastic temperature fluctuation. One day it's almost 80 and the next day we're in the 30s. Please realize that if you have any arthritic change or degeneration in your body, the temperature and pressure fluctuation can cause an increase in pain and stiffness.

The past few weather swings have brought numerous people to our office with significant symptoms and they're report to me was "I don't know what I did, but I just woke up like this." Beautifully, they all got well quickly with an adjustment or two. If you feel your body changing along with changing weather patterns, remember, chiropractic care is very effective at getting your body back on track. Dr B

Hello to all the health conscious people in Louisville! Good morning to everyone on a balmy February morning. Weather fluctuations like the ones we are experiencing have a great influence on the human body. Our bodies strive to maintain homeostasis, which is regulation of temperature, pressure, ph, blood sugar and metabolism, oxygenation , balanced levels of water and gases and basically all cellular death and reproduction.

I have included a link to the Cleveland clinic if you're interested in learning more: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/homeostasis

This type of equilibrium responds to temperature and barometric changes outside our bodies. When the environment changes rapidly your nervous system has to adjust your internal processes.

The past few weeks have been interesting in our practice in that many of our patients have been experiencing flu symptoms, arthritic flair ups, changes in sleep, digestion, elimination and hormonal swings.

What is not clearly understood by many is that homeostasis is performed by the nervous system and spinal imbalances place interference on your nerves. Getting an adjustment will restore proper neurological functioning and the patient experiences relief of symptoms other than back pain. This is a phenomenon that chiropractors know well, but my patients are often surprised that their flu symptoms, poor sleep, irregularity and fatigue are cleared up within a day or two of getting adjusted.

The reality is that chiropractic is really the treatment of the nervous system, not just neck and back pain. If you're functioning below your usual, get adjusted, the results will surprise you! Dr Boutin

Goldilocks wanted everything to be just right, and your body does, too. Learn how your body uses homeostasis to keep things ideal.

Good Morning Louisville! A light to moderate snow fell last night and our city is a beautiful winter wonderland. However, it is quite slippery on the roads, especially the back roads, residential areas and subdivisions so drive safe. Boutin Chiropractic is open for regular business hours today. Friday the 12th.

I can't imagine what yesterday's events have brought to your lives. My wife Tamara and I offer prayers of peace during this time of crisis. Let us know if we can be of service. Dr Boutin

The past week of rainy weather produced the misfortune of fender benders to some of my patients. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. However, I am always surprised at how most people don't appreciate how much force goes through our bodies on impact. The weight of the car multiplied by speed is the amount of energy that actually moves through your body on impact.

This means that even a low speed impact can introduce enough force to damage soft tissues. Actually, low speed impacts are known to cause more serious ligament damage than moderate speed accidents. Here's how...at higher speeds the car's bumpers and fenders crumple and absorb the force of impact. At slower speeds, these safety features don't deform and the energy transfer is more rapid.

Rapid energy transfer is known to cause shearing injuries to ligaments which creates tearing. At high speeds, you get a whiplash effect on muscles, at lower speeds you actually suffer ligament tears which are much more serious and generally lead to long term pain and disability.

If you or anyone you know has had a car accident recently, tell them to get checked. These injuries don't always produce pain and disability immediately but in the weeks following the impact, the patient comes to realize that something's not right. Early intervention is key to a positive long term outcome. Dr Boutin

We're entering cold and flu season and many of our patients have been affected. There's never a good time to be sick or injured, and it's certainly not fun to be sick. What most people don't realize is that a chiropractic adjustment stimulates your immune system to respond more quickly and more competently to any contact with a virus or bacteria.

The immune system is directed by the nervous system through the neuro-endocrinological system. Basically your brain, glands and lymphatic system maintain a constant vigilant state against any foreign bodies that might enter your system. If a microbe gets in, your nervous system directs your gland, lymphatic system and white blood cells to rise up and vanquish the enemy quickly and thoroughly.

We are all exposed to numerous microbes everyday and yet most people do not get sick. However, when your nervous system is compromised, the body is less capable of a fast and thorough response, the virus or bacteria multiplies quickly and you get sick.

A chiropractic adjustment removes interference and stress from the nervous system and allows your body to express full immuno-competence. This immuno-competence is why several people can be exposed to a microbe and some get sick, some get a mild version and some of the people suffer no effect.

Eat well, get plenty of sleep and...get adjusted! Dr Boutin

Happy end of the year to everyone! This is the week of December 30, our office will be open Monday, Thursday and Friday this week and we will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday for the holiday.

And since it's New year, a time for resolutions as it were, I would like to share something I learned years ago; that most people over estimate what they can achieve in a year but GREATLY underestimate what they can achieve in 5 years. Don't make goals, make small adjustments to your daily habits. A little less excess, a little more self care, maintenance and mindfulness...amplified through time can completely change your destiny, ESPECIALLY in matters of health. Happy New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving Week to everyone out there!! There is much to be thankful for, especially if you have the most precious of blessings...YOUR HEALTH! Health is an ethereal possession, you completely take it for granted when you feel well, and then realize it's true value when you lose it. I see this dynamic all the time, it's my world, my mission and my passion. Health must be nurtured and taken care of in order to remain. Please realize that our office is open regular business hours Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, but we are closed Thursday in observation of Thanksgiving and closed on Friday so I can rest and nurture MY HEALTH. Blessings to all!!!
