Summer schedules are often less structured. We see later nights, travel, camps and more spontaneity. While that freedom is beautiful, it can also challenge routines, sleep and regulation. The nervous system’s job is to help the body adapt to change. When it’s supported, you recover faster from busy days, heat, travel and activity. Chiropractic care helps improve that adaptability so your body doesn’t stay stuck in stress mode. Summer health isn’t about perfection, it’s about resilience.

Runner’s Knee?
“Runner’s knee” is commonly used to describe two types of injuries of the knee, iliotibial band syndrome and patellofemoral pain syndrome. Both fall into the category of overuse or repetitive strain type injuries. They can occur in isolation or in combination, but both have been shown to be related to poor running mechanics and improper training volumes. What’s the solution? First step is a proper diagnosis by your healthcare practitioner. This should be followed by strength and mobility exercises to improve biomechanics, adjustment of training volumes as needed, and possibly gait analysis and footwear adjustments if it is deemed necessary.

Are You Wearing SPF?
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and occurs when skin cells grow abnormally, often due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The three main types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, with melanoma being the most serious. Skin cancer can appear as a new growth, a sore that does not heal, or changes in an existing mole. While it can affect anyone, the risk increases with frequent sun exposure and sunburns. Protecting the skin with SPF clothing, shade, and natural sunscreen and recognizing early warning signs can help.
Improve Your Focus & Concentration
Very often the brain and nervous system become fatigued and overloaded. Much like a computer receiving too much data all at once, the brain can become overwhelmed, slow down, or even crash. This can result in an inability to focus, brain fog, memory loss, ADD/ADHS-like symptoms, a “wired” feeling, or the inability to cope with daily life. The key to turning these conditions around is to give the body what it needs to strengthen specific areas of the brain and nervous system. This can be achieved naturally with specialized nutritional formulations, which will replenish the body and alleviate symptoms.
