Grounding ADHD with Reiki Energy
October is ADHD Awareness Month, a time to explore holistic approaches that can support those with ADHD. Reiki, an energy healing practice, is a powerful tool for centering and grounding individuals with ADHD. By balancing and aligning chakras, Reiki promotes focus and calm, helping to manage the often-overwhelming symptoms of ADHD. Regular sessions can enhance spiritual hygiene, maintain vibrational health, and complement other treatments, offering a holistic approach to well-being. Whether you’re seeking relief from stress or a deeper connection to yourself, Reiki provides a gentle yet effective path to healing.
Understanding EchoLight REMS Technology
EchoLight REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) offers a breakthrough in bone health assessment, particularly for osteoporosis. Unlike traditional DEXA scans, REMS is non-invasive, radiation-free, and provides highly accurate results. It’s especially beneficial for individuals in their 30s and 40s, when bone density may begin to decline. Factors like genetics, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can further weaken bones. Regular bone health monitoring with tools like REMS can help ensure early detection and proactive management, promoting healthier bones and reducing the risk of fractures.

Manage Back Pain Effectively
Back pain is a leading cause of disability and can severely impact your quality of life. The good news is that it can often be prevented and managed with some simple strategies. Staying active, maintaining good posture, and avoiding strain on your spine during everyday tasks, such as carrying groceries, doing yard work, or sitting at a desk, can make a big difference. If you experience persistent back pain, a physical therapist can help identify the cause and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and recovery goals, allowing you to regain mobility and improve your overall well-being.
Sore Gums?
If your gums hurt when you brush your teeth, it could be a sign of gum inflammation, commonly known as gingivitis. This condition is often caused by inadequate oral hygiene, allowing plaque to build up and irritate the gums. To address this issue, make sure to brush your teeth gently using a soft-bristle toothbrush. Contrary to popular belief, hard bristles don’t help you clean better, but will irritate your gums more. Ask our hygienists and they will all confirm, soft bristle is the way to go! Floss daily to remove food particles and plaque between teeth. Consider using an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce bacteria. Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining oral health.
