This is a great graphic that depicts the various types of disc issues. As a chiropractor, I work with many patients experiencing these issues to help reduce pain and improve flexibility. Don't settle for living in pain or relying solely on pain medication, consider chiropractic as part of your care.

Fall is here and leaves are falling from the trees.

Many homeowners will use their lawnmowers to cut up and chop up the leaves in the yard. When doing so, please use caution and be on the watch for fire starting underneath your mower. Dry leaves can pile up under the mower and are easily ignited by the hot muffler and/or friction and sparks from belts and pullies, setting the mower on fire.

It’s a good idea to clean off dry grass and leaves from the mower deck prior to putting the mower away. Allow your mower time to cool off outside prior to storing it inside the shed or garage.

Goochland County Fire-Rescue responds to a number of lawnmower fires each year.

1- Know your mower, know how it works and be familiar with the electrical system.
2- Do your routine maintenance every year.
3- Know what type of battery you have and check it, with the increase in Lithium-Ion battery fires make sure you know how to care for your battery and what the manufacture's recommendations are on maintenance and charging the battery.
4- After using your mower, please allow it to sit outside and cool off before putting it in your garage.
5- When parking your mower in your garage make sure the area around the mower is clear of stored items, any flammable liquids or combustible materials, a good practice is to make sure you have at least 3 feet of clearance around your mower.
6- Also refuel and clean your mower after its has cooled down and do not refuel it in your garage.

Hopefully, these basic tips will help you keep yourself and your family safe.

Exercise creates a brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is basically Miracle Grow for your brain. When you exercise, your brain becomes more elastic. Exercise also helps to improve your mood, boost your energy, and reduce overall stress in your body and mind.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of my favorite benefits of exercise is that it improves insulin sensitivity, which is the biggest contributor to advance aging. Exercise actually makes your cells and muscles more sensitive to insulin so you don’t need as much. Less insulin means less dangerous visceral belly fat. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Daily movement also enhances detoxification by stimulating the colon and releasing toxins through your sweat. It boosts detoxification of environmental chemicals. Vigorous exercise will help you work up a sweat, but gentle exercise keeps your circulation going and flushes out all the toxic fluids that build up in your lymphatic system. Even just lying on your back and putting your legs straight up against the wall for 20 minutes can make a huge difference. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Clearly, daily movement has whole-body benefits. These are just a few of them. The question becomes, how do we incorporate movement daily? Here are three simple ways. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Make it a priority and think ahead. Every single day I schedule time in my calendar to work out. If I don’t schedule it, I won’t do it. Also, make it easy.
⁣⁣
Do it first thing in the morning. We all know how easily pushing exercise to the back burner and subsequently neglecting it can become. Do your daily exercise first thing in the morning to jump-start your metabolism and set your day on the right course.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Make it fun. I encourage you to explore all the fun things you may enjoy and save exercise for those times when you just can’t find a way to play on your own or with someone else. Vary up your routine and above all, make it fun.
⁣⁣
Ever since I’ve made movement part of my life, I notice that I’m happier, calmer, stronger, and I just feel good. If you could put exercise into a pill, it would be a blockbuster drug. So I encourage you to get up today and move your body, even if it’s just for a few minutes.⁣⁣
