A Month of Thanks
It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the upcoming holidays. So I’d like to take a moment to pause and share some THANKS for the good doctors at East End Chiropractic.
I have worked here for a little over two years. I am so thankful to Dr. Olsen for the opportunity to restart my work career. His dedication to this practice has been humbling and I give thanks for 
being able to be a part of such an inclusive and caring environment. Working at East End has also educated me on the importance of Chiropractic health and the benefits it provides for my whole body health. Dr. Olsen has encouraged me to listen to my own body as it tells me what I need a lot of the time. He is kind and caring and those qualities flow into his time with his patients.
Dr. Lauren Calabra (Dr. C!) has been a great addition to East End Chiropractic. Not only am I thankful for her friendship, I am also thankful for her knowledge of biomechanics and her dedication to educate herself for the benefit of her patients. She brings her expertise of Chiropractic care along with her athletic ability to give patients a well-rounded visit-not only do they leave with an adjustment, but they are given exercises to take home to help keep them strong and healthy. Her dedication is top notch and I have benefitted more than once from her stretches and manual adjustments. My gratitude for her being at East End is immense.
Both Dr. Olsen and Dr. Calabra make it easy to be thankful. If you’ve been on the fence about Chiropractic care; if you are wondering if it’s worth your time and investment, I would gladly encourage you to come meet these two doctors. They will answer any questions you have and work with you to find the best solution to your health needs. I guarantee you will leave here full of thanks.
What Is Wellness and How Does Chiropractic Care Help You Achieve It?
“Wellness” has become a buzzword nowadays, especially with the recent introduction of the Affordable Care Act, which places high emphasis on staying healthy and reducing healthcare costs. The American Chiropractic Association defines wellness as “an active process that promotes health and enhances quality of life.” I believe that in order for a person to be well enough to do the activities they enjoy, they must be given the correct tools to help them take charge of their health.
Let’s talk about that stiffness in your neck that you attribute to “old age” when, in fact, you’re only 36. Because that stiffness becomes pain when you play tennis, you rarely play anymore. You’re starting to become sedentary (which is disastrous to your overall health) and you’re not even 40 yet. The reality of this situation is that, likely, the abnormal motion patterns in your neck that cause that stiffness and pain can be corrected with a short course of treatment by a good chiropractor. You can then return to the tennis court, and make a huge contribution to your entire well-being.
Chiropractic care focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. By treating the underlying issues, many symptoms resolve quickly. It is important to note a chiropractor’s approach is drug-free; in addition to their expertise in spinal manipulation/adjustment, doctors of chiropractic are trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises.
If you’re curious about how chiropractic care might help you on your path to wellness, give our office a call. We’d love to set up a consultation (free of charge!) for you to meet with me, and ask me any questions you may have.
