Say Goodbye to IBS with Acupuncture
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is irritating to have. Physically, very little if anything appears to be wrong with the digestive tract, yet people develop uncomfortable symptoms. Acupuncture can help relieve and even eliminate the symptoms of IBS. Because acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, each person is treated on a case-by-case basis, and the treatment will target the stomach and large intestine meridians. As the body’s energy system (Qi, pronounced chi) rebalances, it naturally begins to balance hormones, heal inflammation, and ultimately get rid of the symptoms of IBS. There are no side effects and most people find the treatments completely painless.

Do’s and Don’ts of Dating
In today’s distracted world, where people are panicked when they don’t have instant access to their electronics, face-to-face meetings can be a foreign concept. When getting to know someone, it is important that they feel you are giving them your undivided attention. Cell phones need to be on silent and put away while on a date. Exes are not discussed. Communication needs to be real. Texting and emailing are not appropriate ways to get to know someone. Take the time to call them and have a real conversation. Do an activity on your date where you have ample time to get to learn more about the person. Mini golf, bowling, the zoo, or walking through craft shows are some suggestions that allow you to get to know one another without pressure.
Take it Step by Step
It’s been said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Successful people don’t necessarily set out to do big things, but they do a lot of little things that accumulate into huge triumphs. What’s the thing you want to change in your life? A relationship, an addiction, a problem at work, your health? Even though you might have a big goal in mind, try to boil it down to one or two “next steps” and focus on those. This approach will offer up a cycle of positive reinforcement that will help achieve your bigger dreams.

Identifying Thoracic Spine Pain
The thoracic spine (upper back) serves as an anchoring point for your ribs and plays an important role in trunk range of motion and organ protection. There are many ways to injure the thoracic spine, with blunt trauma, hyperextension, and forced rotation being the most common. Pushing and pulling activities like shovelling will typically worsen thoracic symptoms. Discomfort with deep breathing or arm elevation will tend to aggravate a rib dysfunction, while pain with coughing and sneezing could indicate a problem with the rib joint. Osteoarthritic pain in the thoracic spine gradually worsens throughout the day.
