🍯 Local Honey: The Sweetest "Natural Defense"
​As we move deeper into the spring season, many of our patients are starting to feel that all-too-familiar itch in their eyes and tickle in their throats. While we often talk about how keeping your nervous system clear helps your body handle stressors, there is a delicious local remedy that might help you find some relief right in your pantry: Local Raw Honey.

​How it Works
​The theory behind local honey is similar to how a vaccine works (a concept called immunotherapy). Because bees gather pollen from the very plants that cause your seasonal sniffles, raw honey contains trace amounts of that local pollen. By consuming it, you are essentially giving your immune system a "sneak peek," helping it become desensitized to the allergens in your specific neighborhood.

​Why "Local" and "Raw" Matters
​Local: Honey from a different state won't contain the specific pollen types found here in our community.
​Raw: Commercial honey is often pasteurized (heated), which can destroy the beneficial enzymes, antioxidants, and the very pollen particles you need for allergy support.

​How to Use It
​To give your body time to adjust, try incorporating one tablespoon of local raw honey into your daily routine. You can:
1. ​Mix it into a lukewarm cup of herbal tea.
2. ​Drizzle it over your morning oatmeal or yogurt.
3. ​Enjoy it right off the spoon!

​✨ Pro-Tip: A well-aligned spine ensures your nervous system and immune system are communicating at 100%. Combine your local honey routine with your regular adjustments to give your body the best chance to thrive this season!

Loved spending my morning at Edge Fitness Club Washington Twp meeting fellow members.

I'm here working out at the gym 5–6 times a week, so I know the rigors we put our bodies through on a daily basis. It felt good to give some free 5-minute massages today to help everyone stay mobile and injury-free.

If we didn't get a chance to chat, come say hi next time you see me on the floor! I'll be back with my table giving more massages and answering more questions on March 14!

South Jersey is looking like a winter wonderland, but your spine might feel more like a frozen tundra! 🥶 Shoveling snow is one of the most common causes of acute low back pain we see this time of year.

When you lift heavy snow and twist, you create "interference" in your nervous system. At Hershman Chiropractic, our goal is to remove that interference and restore your body’s God-given healing power. Whether we use the precision of our manual adjusting or the gentle Activator Method, we’ll get you back to enjoying the view instead of icing your back!

Before you grab that shovel again, follow these steps to protect your discs! 👇

🏋️ The Movement: The "Safe-Shovel" Biomechanic

Setup: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Choose a shovel with a curved handle if possible to reduce leaning.

Instructions:

1. Hinge, Don't Curve: Bend at your hips and knees, keeping your back flat (like a squat). Never "C-curve" your spine to reach the ground.

2. Keep it Close: Keep the shovel blade as close to your body as possible when lifting.

3. The "No-Twist" Rule: Move your feet to face the direction you are throwing the snow. Never keep your feet planted and twist your torso to the side—this is how disc herniations happen!

4. Push, Don’t Lift: Whenever possible, push the snow to the edge of the driveway instead of lifting it.

Scientific Anchor: According to the Mayo Clinic: "To protect your back, push snow instead of lifting it. If you must lift, squat with your legs apart, knees bent and back straight. Lift with your legs. Don't bend at the waist." [Source: Mayo Clinic, "Safe Snow Shoveling"]

The "Flynn" Factor: Flynn is staying cozy inside the office today, but he’s ready to offer a "good boy" tail wag to anyone brave enough to clear their walk! 🐾

Call to Action: Sore after the storm? Don't wait for the pain to "freeze" up! Call our office today at (856) 728-0770 or click the link in our bio to book your post-snow adjustment!
