What thoughts do you start YOUR day with?

I remind myself of what is good in my life to start my day with positive emotions and mental health. What the mind thinks the body will follow.

Any golfers here? Pictured is one of our favorite places - Oak Creek Country Club in Sedona.

Golf is a fun way to be active and build social connections.

Imbalances, discomfort and pain can compromise your swing and add strokes to your game. Injury mechanisms can vary between individuals and it's helpful to add chiropractic evaluation and care to your training and routine. Let us help you to play your best!

Do you play?

Pickleball continues to gain popularity. It is easy to learn with low impact. You can be competitive. And, it is a great way to build your social network (which is very important as we get older).

There is a risk for a variety of injuries that can include acute strains & sprains and chronic injuries related to overuse and repetitive movements. Be sure to include a well rounded program for recovery, structural balance, and agility.

15 yrs ago?! Great info throwback video…Dr. Shaun interviewed on how to choose the right backpack for your child.

A child’s skeletal & muscular systems are rapidly growing. Selecting & properly using a backpack can minimize potential injury, discomfort & poor posture.

HOW TO CHOOSE A BACKPACK
•Wide, padded shoulder straps
•Padding on the pack that rests on the back
•Lightweight, but sturdy material
•Chest & waist straps
•Multiple compartments
•Reflective option for additional safety

HOW TO WEAR A BACKPACK
•Adjust shoulder strap length, backpack to rest in the middle of the back
•Bottom of pack should fall 2” above the waist, never sit more than 4” below the waist
•Pack should fit close to the body
•Wear by using both shoulder straps
•Do not exceed 10-15% of body weight
•Use chest & waist straps to distribute weight
•Clean out the pack on a regular basis

RED FLAGS TO LOOK FOR
•Complaints of numbness or tingling in the arms, back or legs
•Muscle strain injuries & pain
•Headaches
•Child leaning forward either by pushing the neck & head forward or full chest to balance the weight of the pack

Dr. Shaun Hudson explains what to look for when purchasing a backpack and the importance of properly fitting a backpack on your child.

Does your fur-baby keep you active?

It’s been reported that dog owners were 4x greater than non-dog owners to meet current physical activity guidelines.

Share a pic of you & your fur-babies! We'd love to see them.

"Walking decreases the risk or severity of various health outcomes such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cognitive impairment and dementia, while also improving mental well-being, sleep, and longevity."

Like beets? Doc Shaun taste approved! We're currently obsessed with this combo: 1/2 orange, 1/2 lemon, beet, ginger, and 1-2 stalks celery.

We add extra ginger to balance the beet root flavor profile. A fresh enzyme and nutrient rich shot to help us recover from physical activity.

AZ temperatures will be over 100 this weekend! HOW DOES YOUR SUNSCREEN SPRAY, CREAM OR MOISTURIZER SCORE? Take a minute and find out. Click the site below and type in your product. EWG did all the research for you.

By the way, some ingredients in sunscreens block or mimic hormones. It's easy to buy a healthier option.

Almost three-fourths of the products we examined offer inferior sun protection or contain worrisome ingredients like oxybenzone, a hormone disruptor, or retinyl palmitate, a form of vitamin A that may harm skin.

Feed Our Babies USA is one of the organizations Hudson Chiro supports within our community. FOB provides healthy foods to our local families. This weekend we started the clean up to their NEW pantry! Congrats to FOB!
