Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
Could a chiropractor put an end to bedwetting?
If bladder control seems elusive, consider chiropractic. If spinal bones are interfering with nerves that control your child's bladder, plastic sheets, alarms and other methods simply add to the embarrassment. Hampton Falls parents are often amazed (and relieved) that chiropractic can be so helpful. Learn more.

Is there a “Best” Time of Day to Exercise?

Some experts agree that the best time of day to exercise is the time that works best for you. If you have found a time of day that feels good and works for you – then stick with it!

Regular daily exercise.

Others disagree, stating that there is a “best” time of day to exercise, determined by an individual’s circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are the body’s “internal clock.” They control blood pressure, sleep cycles, body temperature, metabolism and even temperament.

Researchers examining the influence of circadian rhythms on exercise have found that body temperature is an important variable in determining the quality of one’s exercise program. Body temperature is at its lowest during the one to three hours before you awaken. When body temperature is low, muscles are tight and blood flow is reduced, making your early morning workouts more sluggish and increasing your chances of injury.

On the other hand, early afternoon and evening workouts are more productive because you are more alert, your body temperature is higher, your muscles are warmer and more flexible and your lung function is at its peak. Working out after a tough day at the office is also a terrific way to release stress and it helps control the amount of food you eat at the dinner table!

However, a consistent exercise routine is what really matters and, when added to getting the proper amount of sleep, a healthy diet and receiving regular chiropractic adjustments, provides the framework for a healthy and satisfying lifestyle.
