6 suggestions to address, measure sleep quality for patients
Why it’s important to discuss sleep with patients, even if briefly, and measure sleep quality to see how patients are faring…
Your patients can’t sleep? Learn the science behind it
Sleep helps the body rest and reset. If your patients aren’t sleeping well, it’s likely you aren’t either.
4 drug-free ways to balance the body’s hormones
Hormones are to the body what spices are to food recipes. If their amounts or levels are either too high or too low, the end result can be rather unpleasant. However, in the case of hormones specifically, you can’t just push the plate away to stop the experience.
The science of chiropractic: Your practice needs science
One of the areas where chiropractic has traditionally struggled is public perception. In the past, it’s not been uncommon to hear people say that this type of methodology and treatment is “quackery,” or that it’s just not as effective as it professes to be. However, there are many scientific studies which support the benefits patients can receive by engaging in this type of care.
Why sleep quality matters in the healing process
Wellness Approach While the body sleeps, it heals. Injuries and illnesses all improve when the body gets adequate sleep; so do chronic conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. Research shows that most of the healing takes place during Stage 2 and Stage 3 sleep, when sleep is deepest and without dreams. During Stage 3 sleep, healing hormones such as human growth hormone are released and the production of stress hormones, such as cortisol, is inhibited.
Measure your expectations against the reality of financial markets
Money Management Investors have become financially complacent in recent years as the market has lulled them with ever increasing gains and returns. When alarm clocks went off in February 2018 with one of the biggest daily and weekly losses in market history, the realization of what it means to be in the market became all too real. Unless you have been totally cut off from the news, you could not miss the turbulence the financial markets have experienced.
Why sleeping position matters
Wellness Approach How do feel when you wake up in the morning? Refreshed, rested, and ready to go? Or stiff, achy, and wishing you could go back to sleep for another few hours? The difference may depend on your sleeping position. Most experts agree that sleeping on your back is the ideal position, but it’s not for everyone. When you sleep on your back, you stretch your body out evenly on the mattress.
Connect with healthcare colleagues and your community through posture
You know addressing posture is important to effectively care for back and neck pain. After all, the best adjustment is fighting an uphill battle against gravity if a patient slumps in front of a computer for 10 hours a day, shoulders hunched up to their ears. A good chair, a standing desk, and good shoes can help. But when some- one’s unconscious default posture is “slumped over with head jutting forward and spine collapsed back- wards,” you need to engage them to change their postural habits.
