Raising Healthy Kids | Teething
/
Teething often begins between months 4-5, but can start as early as three months. Since it can take anywhere from three hours to three weeks to see results, the symptoms can sometimes be misdiagnosed.
What are often simply teething symptoms, are being misdiagnosed as an ear infection; and the American Academy of Pediatrics has recognized that antibiotics are being overly prescribed to children.
Common Teething Symptoms:
-Runny Nose with Clear Mucus
-Irritated Ear
-Mild Fever
-Picky/Fussy Eating
-Disrupted Sleep Patterns
-Irritated Bowel
Commonly Mistaken As:
-Cold or Sinus Infection
-Ear Infection
-Cold or Flu
-Stomach/Digestive Disorder
-Colic
-Rash
Remember: Children benefit from Chiropractic care; not only for wellness and pain prevention, but as a major support to their immune system. Make sure you and your children come to visit us on a regular basis!

Our 10 Tips to Help Improve Posture
/
Do you ever notice how you are standing? Do you stand straight up, or are you hunched over? We have a list of ten tips that will help improve your posture, including chiropractic adjustments.
1. Proper use of Cell Phones- When texting, emailing, or surfing the web on your electronic device of choice make sure to keep your head from looking in the down position. This is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to poor head posture.
2. Desk Ergonomics – When it comes to using computers make sure the screen is at eye level and that your legs and arms are at 90 degrees to the floor.
3. Head Exercises – An exercise that is easy to do involves bringing your head back by tucking your chin in and keeping your eyes level. (it looks as if you are making a double chin)
4. Take side pictures of yourself - This is a great way to monitor changes that are being made to improve posture awareness!
5. Exercise Bands – Get an exercise band and hold your hands out in front of your chest and pull your arms apart while holding on to the exercise band. This exercise will help to strengthen a muscle group called the rhomboids which are important for keeping your head in its normal position.
6. Exercise Ball – One of the very best things to do for improving posture is to lay back and arch your back over an exercise ball. This helps to combat the forces of gravity that we experience every day.
7. Door Jamb – The door jam is an exercise that helps work with the rhomboid muscle group as well. Place your arms on either side of a door post and bring your body forward while bracing between the door posts. It is like doing a standing push up between door posts and helps to strengthen the rhomboids.
8. Proper Sleep Position – The very best position to sleep is on your back with a cervical curve pillow. A cervical curve pillow provides a relaxing position for your spine. It may be uncomfortable at first, but over time your body will thank you. Check Theraputica pillow out if you need a recommendation.
9. Deep Breathing – several times throughout the day make sure to take deep breaths which allow us to be aware of our posture and helps sooth and calm our body systems.
10. Find your local chiropractor in order to help improve posture from the inside out.
#NoMeds Story: Travels 3 Hours One-Way!
/
In this week's #NoMeds story, we have Carmen, who drives THREE HOURS one-way to come and see us once a month. Here are her words on how we've helped her:
I have been going to The Drugless Doctors for over 2 years, & look forward to my monthly visit & chiropractic adjustment. I live in Indiana & drive 3 hours one way for my appointment each month. It has been a wonderful investment of my time & money! Everyone at their office is extremely friendly & helpful, & I am very impressed with the technology & testing they offer.
I've seen many great improvements to my health, including more energy, less headaches, my monthly cycle pain dramatically reduced, a stronger immune system, & improved thyroid function. Also, I am a violinist, & when I first came to The Drugless Doctors I was having a lot of left shoulder pain & it was affecting my playing. When I started getting chiropractic adjustments, along with improving my diet & nutrition, the shoulder pain disappeared! I'm so grateful for The Drugless Doctors & all of their knowledge! They are truly dedicated to getting to the bottom of every health concern their patients have. Make an appointment with them today - you'll be glad you did! :-)
We would love to help you, too! Come and see us at our chiropractic and wellness practice in Westlake and Elyria, Ohio.
#NoMeds: Chiropractic & Exercise
/
It has been a few months since we have highlighted a practice member, and this week we have Trudy:
This set of chiropractors have been the best decision I have ever made. I am much better off since I have begun to go to this office! I have completed 5 half marathons, one 50K relay, many 5Ks, a 10K, and play women's and co-ed softball all summer because of the care that I have received here. I breathe better, I sleep better, I move better, I have no lower back pain and a much better outlook on life!! These chiropractors care for much more than just our spine, they care about our health and our overall life! Sports has never been so successful for me without the chiropractor care I receive.
