October is National Chiropractic Health and National Dental Hygiene Month!

October is a very special month as it is both National Chiropractic Health and National Dental Hygiene Month! As a practicing chiropractor and dental hygienist, I’d like to encourage you to get your spine checked and to practice good oral hygiene to achieve overall health!

This year’s chiropractic theme is “Conservative Care First”. The theme supports many recent medical research and guidelines encouraging patients to try conservative methods when it comes to their health care, especially when pain is the issue. http://www.chirohealthy.com/

The focus on National Dental Hygiene Month this year is good oral health maintenance through brushing twice a day, flossing daily, rinsing with mouthwash and chewing sugar-free gum. http://www.adha.org/national-dental-hygiene-month

Together lets kick off this month by promoting optimal levels of health and wellness through subluxation-free spines and disease-free mouths!

Yours in health,
Dr. Irene
