Merry Christmas to patients, friends and future friends

We hope this blog finds you and yours healthy, happy and blessed.

As always, myself and the entire staff at the Frisco Chiropractic Center want to thank you for your continued confidence in allowing us to help with all your chiropractic needs. It is not a job we take lightly and will always do our utmost best to continue to earn the trust of your family, friends and co-workers.

This year has been a wild ride. The world is in tumultuous times and it seems difficult to decide the best way to insure that you and your family will be able to weather the storm until we find calmer waters.

Their are many options out there to aid in this search. Finding strength in our families and faith are always great ideas. Saving and spending wisely are also on the top of everyone's list. Staying healthy should also be a goal.

When we get sick, have pain or physical impairment, we become much less productive. We are less able to work, remain positive, or do a lot of chores ourselves; instead we have to hire them out at a higher cost than would otherwise be necessary. Being sick in itself is costly. Trips to the doctors, costs of medicines, and heaven forbid, some kind of surgical procedure are all likely if we become infirm. The best way to prevent loss of productivity and your hard earned money is to keep yourself in the best working order possible.

Most of the ways to keep ourselves healthy are common sense (even though most of us tend to ignore the obvious). It is very important that we put good nutrients into our body. Good proteins, fruits and vegetables are critical to good health. Adding a good basic regimen of vitamins, minerals and other supplements is also a great way to fill in the holes missing in our nutrition. Keeping ourselves strong and lean is also critical, making exercise and portion control paramount in our list of good habits. Crazy fad diets don't work. Eating good foods in moderate portions, over a long period of time does! Even that little bit of Blue Bell ice cream is ok after dinner, just in a smaller portion.

Another way to keep us healthy physically and with a strong immune system is to get regular chiropractic adjustments. I have always touted just how mechanical our bodies are, and like machines, we must also be well aligned and lubricated. Proper joint motion and position minizes wear and tear and keeps all of our systems working smoothly. Just like how doing all the recommended maintenence on our vehicles keeps them running smoothly, minimizes repairs and extends their life; we also require similar care.

Proper maintenence on our bodies throughout our life keeps us growing and working properly. Proper function keeps us healthy and strong, able to minimze injury and illness. In the long run, this keeps us more productive allowing us to enjoy and conquer all of lifes curves and twists.

At the Frisco Chiropractic Center, our goal is keeping people working better! If you ever have questions or concerns about you or your families health, feel free to contact the clinic. Or better yet, just come by.

Remember, Chiropractic works! and that's what counts.

Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Dr. Loughridge and the Staff of the Frisco Chiropractic Clinic
