Sleep Changes & The Elderly
Seniors generally wake up more often during the night and earlier in the morning, have a harder time falling asleep, and spend less time in deep, dreamless sleep. Some measures to help you sleep better include: 1) Eat a light bedtime snack. 2) Avoid caffeine for at least 3 or 4 hours before bed. 3) Avoid napping during the day. 4) Exercise regularly, but not within 3 hours of bedtime. 5) Practice relaxation techniques at bedtime. 6) Don’t watch TV or use devices while in bed. 7) Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day.
Revolutionary Approach to Chronic Pain
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a regenerative treatment that is gaining prominence in pain management for its potential to relieve chronic pain and injuries. Involving the injection of a concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors derived from the patient’s blood, PRP therapy showcases promising results in various chronic pain conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, and chronic low back pain. Platelets, containing growth factors and cytokines crucial for tissue regeneration, are concentrated in a solution and injected into the affected area, promoting healing and reducing pain. PRP therapy offers a minimally invasive, outpatient solution for those seeking lasting relief from orthopaedic pain conditions.
A Heart-Healthy Approach
Feeling fine doesn’t necessarily equate to optimal health. Many underlying issues, like heart disease, or can develop silently over years. Shockingly, 60% of cardiovascular cases reveal symptoms only during a heart attack, stroke, or worse. Despite feeling well, potential spinal or nervous system issues may exist. The nervous system governs bodily functions, emphasizing its crucial role in overall health. A chiropractic assessment, even when feeling fine, can detect subluxations or disruptions in brain-body connectivity. Proactive treatment ensures proper functionality and prevention, addressing potential concerns that may not be apparent in day-to-day feelings of wellness.
Healing Through Self-Love
In February, during times of grief, prioritize self-love through honoring cherished memories. Reflect on the ones you loved and lost with tenderness. Foster healing by recognizing the impact of loss on mental well-being. Amidst sorrow, prioritize self-care—ensure sufficient rest, nourishment, and moments of solace. Share stories and celebrating their positive influence. Let love’s warmth serve as a healing balm for your heart. In honoring those dear to you, build resilience through self-love. Cultivate well-being as a tribute, acknowledging that healing is a gentle journey rooted in treasuring the love that once thrived.
