Massage Therapy for TMJ Disorders
TMJ massage, short for Temporomandibular Joint massage, is a specialized therapeutic technique designed to alleviate discomfort and tension in the jaw area. This treatment targets the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull, and the surrounding muscles. TMJ disorders can lead to pain, stiffness, headaches, and even difficulty in opening and closing the mouth. TMJ massage involves skilled manipulation of these muscles, often incorporating techniques like deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. It aims to reduce muscle tension, increase circulation, and improve joint mobility, offering relief to individuals suffering from TMJ-related issues. Regular TMJ massage can contribute to enhanced jaw function and overall well-being.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer, its impact, and the importance of early detection. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, and early detection can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment. Self-exams play a crucial role in early detection; they help individuals become familiar with their breasts and notice any unusual changes, such as lumps, swelling, or skin changes. By regularly performing self-exams and staying informed about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, individuals can take proactive steps toward their health and potentially save lives.
Recognize Hearing Loss Signs
October is National Protect Your Hearing Month, a perfect time to recognize signs of hearing loss. Keep an eye out for these warning signs: frequently asking others to repeat themselves, needing to turn up the TV or radio volume, or experiencing persistent ringing in your ears. Difficulty understanding conversations in noisy environments, missing everyday sounds, or having trouble hearing when your back is turned to someone are also key indicators. Speaking too loudly or finding phone conversations challenging may also signal hearing issues. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes, so prioritize your hearing health this month and schedule a free assessment with your local Beltone clinic.

Bioenergetics & Women’s Health
Every year at this time women are reminded to focus on their health, but in reality, women should be taking charge of their own physical and mental well-being every day. A good first step is to find out how well your body is functioning so you can target any areas that need assistance. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through Bioenergetics. This non-invasive computerized analysis determines underlying imbalances in organs and tissues that could contribute to unwanted health conditions. If an imbalance is found Bioenergetics can then help to stimulate correction of the affected organ or tissues to help your body function at its best.
Is Your Carpet Making You Sick?
Do you know what’s really lurking in the carpet? The carpet attracts and hides some of the worst allergens, bacteria, germs, organisms and other hazardous particles. Dirty carpets can affect your health and the indoor air quality of your home. The average home can accumulate up to 40 lbs. of dust per year. Your carpet also harbors a number of species of bed bugs, fleas and dust mites. Mites can cause allergies through their molted skin, waste and through the mites themselves. Having your carpets professionally deep cleaned can reduce the amount of unseen pests, prevent sickness and allergies, and remove or prevent undesirable odors.
