Most people feel better when they receave regular chiropractic care.
Wellness, simply put, is way of life.
Health is not just the absence of disease. It is the presence of vitality -- the ability to function with vigor and to live actively, energetically, and fully.
Vitality comes from a state of optimal physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, interpersonal, social, and environmental well-being. People at all ages and levels of physical and mental ability can increase their vitality and wellness.
Today, people have greater control over their health than ever before. They invest in their health by utilizing gym memberships, yoga, organic foods and supplements, personal coaching, positive relationships, and chiropractic treatments that focus on heightening their potential and life quality.
Being responsible for one's health means making choices and adopting habits and behaviors that will ensure wellness.

Acupuncture Offers Benefits in Alleviating Breast Cancer Treatment Side-Effects
by: Dave Gabriele, citizen journalist
(NaturalNews) A 2008 American study, which appeared in the September issue of The International Journal of Radiation Oncology, examined the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating women coping with the side effects of conventional breast cancer medicine. Eleanor Walker, M.D., a radiation oncologist at the Henry Ford Hospital Department of Radiation Oncology in Detroit, led a team of researchers to compare acupuncture treatment with the common anti-estrogen treatment used to control breast cancer therapy side effects. The side effects, such as hot flashes and depression, affect about 80% of women treated for breast cancer and are usually treated by the pharmaceutical anti-depressant venlafaxine (Effexor). Many breast cancer patients refuse venlafaxine because of its own set of negative side effects.
