Start the New Year off right! Improving your health doesn't have to be a complicated process. The experts at Forest Park Chiropractic & Acupuncture encourage clients to take charge of their health through simple means such as acupuncture and soft tissue therapy. Let’s check out eight steps recommended by the Forest Park team for ensuring optimal wellness:

• Nutritional Counseling: Eat well and be well. Health starts with what we put in our bodies, with the wrong foods leaving us bloated, fatigued and even ill. Talk to the nutritionists at Forest Park to determine the best diet for your specific needs.
• Acupuncture: Enjoy soothing relief from a range of health issues through this ancient form of Chinese medicine in which tiny needles placed in particular pressure points do their work to relieve pain and other issues.
• Soft Tissue Therapy: Rather than letting neck pain, back pain, migraines or soreness govern how you feel each day, make an appointment with soft tissue specialist and athletic trainer, Kim Issac, at Forest Park. She performs instrument-assisted soft tissue release to break down scar tissue and adhesions from overuse or misuse of the muscles to relieve pain.
• Stress Management: Don’t fall victim to the mental, emotional and physical manifestations of stress. Forest Park provides a quiet environment for letting go of stress and offers techniques and programs, such as MindFIT, for eliminating or dealing with the stress and anxiety brought on by our busy lives.
• Exercise: Burn fat, tone muscles, and release endorphins. You don’t have to join a gym or follow complicated workouts to exercise. Take walks, ride your bike, dance, jog...the list is endless.
• Water: Drink at least eight glasses of water daily to flush the body of toxins, eliminate dehydration-related problems such as headaches and fatigue, and much more.
• Sleep: Failure to get enough sleep means your metabolism never gets to "reset" and the body is unable to fully repair itself.
• Laughter: Laugh at the little things! Laughter releases endorphins that promote vascular health.
