I used to believe that relationships were all about learning to compromise with each other to find a middle ground. When we compromise, we tend to give up our own needs for the betterment of staying connected to others. When we learn to negotiate, we zero in and distill those needs that are fully needed to be met by finding the bridge between ourselves and another. By giving ourselves permission to express and negotiate our deepest desires, we find a creative way where both people can get their core needs met, which then leads to less resentment and greater satisfaction without losing themselves in the relationship.

The Importance of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, nerve function, cell metabolism and DNA production. It can be found in meat, poultry, fish and dairy, or as a supplement. Your body can store vitamin B12 for many years so most individuals will not have a B12 deficiency. However, the following people may be more prone to deficiency: vegetarians/vegans, older adults, or people with digestive conditions that affect the absorption of nutrients. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, anemia, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, nerve damage, and mood disturbances. Ask your physician or pharmacist whether you should be taking a supplement. Both B12 tablets and injections are available from our Pharmacists.

Music Therapy And Mental Health
Many people struggle with anxiety or depression these days. They may feel like they don’t know how to move forward and are afraid to express themselves and seek help, perhaps due to fear of stigma. Music therapy can work with these individuals to help them process their feelings in a unique way, which can build their self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence in their ability to cope. Songwriting, lyric analysis, improvisation, creating specific playlists, and singing, among other interventions, can relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression and provide a sense of purpose, control, and hope so they can live their best life!
Stay Mobile & Comfortable this Winter
As temperatures drop, stiffness and discomfort often increase—especially for those with arthritis, old injuries, or chronic tension.

These benefits enhance flexibility, comfort, and resilience during colder months. Regular chiropractic care keeps you active, mobile, and pain-free all season long—so you can move confidently, no matter the weather.

Antioxidants for Healthy Aging
As we age, our immune system weakens, making us more vulnerable to infections and illnesses. The nutrients we extract from food play a key role in maintaining a strong immune response, so a nutrient-dense diet is essential for overall health. Antioxidant-rich foods, in particular, help neutralize harmful free radicals that can damage cells, while sugary foods trigger inflammation, which can suppress the immune system. To strengthen immunity, incorporate foods like blueberries, strawberries, goji berries, red cabbage, beans, dark chocolate, pecans, spinach, carrots, and potatoes—all rich in powerful antioxidants that support your body’s defense mechanisms.

Mental Health Strategies for Colder Months
As the holiday season approaches, November and December often bring increased stress, financial strain, and reduced exposure to natural sunlight. These factors can contribute to declines in mood and overall well-being. Unlike December, November lacks statutory holidays, making it important to proactively support mental health. Taking a mental health day can be beneficial, especially when paired with frequent physical activity and social engagement, both enhance mood and resilience. Reduced sunlight can lead to lower Vitamin D levels, which are linked to depressive symptoms. Supplementation or light therapy (UV treatment) may help mitigate these effects and support emotional well-being.
Managing Spinal Joint & Disc Injuries
Spinal facet joint and disc injuries—especially when inflamed, damaged, or worn—can cause significant pain throughout the spine by placing pressure on spinal nerve roots. Chiropractic care offers an effective, natural approach to managing and resolving these issues. Techniques such as manual spinal adjustments, biofeedback instruments, and the Thompson Drop Table method help relieve nerve root pressure by precisely restoring alignment and movement. As a result, pain is reduced or eliminated, and overall function improves. Every day, we hear our patients say, “I feel better already.” Come experience the benefits of chiropractic care for yourself!
