Are you as smart as you think you are? I'll bet you didn't know that both giraffes and humans have seven vertebrae in their necks. Also, the first set of vertebrae (the cervical vertebrae found in the neck) are also called the Atlas. Atlas is a character from Greek mythology who, after losing a fight, was turned to stone and had to carry
the weight of the Earth and the Heavens on his shoulders. The cervical vertebrae were also given this name as they carry the weight of the head. I just found these kind of interesting and thought I would share them with you this morning! You can find these and many more facts if you click on the link below!!! Have a good day!

We have exciting news! Dr. Cotton and I are moving to a new office. We are going to be located right across the street at Peoria Chiropractic. We will still have the same hours of operation and we will still accept all of the same insurance plans. The new office is located at 901 W. Glen, only about 1000 feet from where we are now, so there is no need to worry about an inconvenience! The building that we are moving to is brand new, they just finished it early this year! Unfortunately, the office we are moving to is already staffed so we will be saying goodbye to a couple of the girls here. We are expecting our last day here to be August 29th so make sure to make an appointment to come say goodbye, I am sure the girls would appreciate it! We will then resume business in the new office on September 2nd. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office and talk to one of the girls.

As much as we love to see you in the office, we hate to see you in pain. Here are some tips to keep yourself healthy this summer as things start to get more busy. We look forward to seeing you!

Maintain a healthy diet and weight.
Remain active—under the supervision of your chiropractor.
Avoid prolonged inactivity or bed rest.
Warm up or stretch before exercising or other physical activities, such as gardening.
Maintain proper posture.
Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes.
Sleep on a mattress of medium firmness to minimize any curve in your spine.
Quit smoking. Smoking impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen and nutrient deprivation to spinal tissues.

We all have injuries and need immediate relief. Cold temperatures reduce blood flow, and therefore reduce tissue swelling. The first time you experience pain, apply an ice pack on the affected area every hour for the majority of the day for a duration of 15 minutes. The next day, apply the ice only four or five times, still for 15 minutes. This process is vital for joint pain relief. Remember, to avoid ice burns, do not place the ice directly on the skin, and instead wrap it in a towel or washcloth.
