Hi this is Dr. Rob with your weekly health blog. Did you know that 9 out of 10 Americans 65 or older are on at least one prescription drug? Which means there is only about 10 % of Americans 65 or older who are not taking prescription drugs.
About 50% of the Americans who are 65 or older and on medication take at least 5 or more prescription drugs! That’s pretty alarming since drugs treat only symptoms and do not correct the fundamental cause of health problems.
We should get down to the basic: thinking well, eating well, and moving well. That’s what we talk about in the office all the time. Part of moving well is getting adjustments on a regular basis to keep the spine moving well in order to get a good nerve supply to the organs.
It’s important to stay regular with your adjustments, it doesn’t matter if you’re 2 days old or 102, you need to get your spine checked. Spread the word, get off the drugs, and start focusing on health: moving well, eating well, and thinking well.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate in contacting me Dr. Rob at Bates Chiropractic at (310) 545-4188 or on our website www.chiropractormanhattanbeach.com.
This week we’ll be open Monday thru Wednesday and closed Thursday through Saturday. Make sure you make it in for your adjustments this week.
