Health-E-Newsletter, June 3, 2005
Dear Wellness Members:
On May 25, 2005 , Dr. Dean was an expert guest on National Public Radio through WMUB ( Oxford ).  Each month, WMUB hosts a program called "FitTalk", co-hosted by "Dr. Jay" Kimiecik, PhD, Associate Professor in Health Promotion at Miami University .  Dr. Dean spoke about chiropractic and exercise.  If you missed the show but want to check it out, WMUB has all of the audio segments available on the web at http://www.wmub.org/soundhealth/ under recent shows. 

Dr. Jane been busy this year attending multiple continuing education seminars focused on enhancing optimal wellness.  The first seminar was an intense hands-on myofascial release seminar taught by Dr. Peter Levy of Santa Barbara , California .  This Neuromuscular Reeducation technique looks to compliment the chiropractic adjustment by reorganizing the injured tissue surrounding the joints.  The results are significant especially for chronic injuries.  Dr. Jane has also been attending some seminars that have focused on improving relationships and building gratitude in all things.  Healing is important in all areas of life and we are always looking to learn and understand more.

With the weather continuing to get warmer, we are seeing more people get injured from gardening, working around the house and sporting injuries.  Whether you have been injured or not...we can help! 

Want to know how to make your chiropractic adjustments last longer and prevent injuries in the first place?  Want to learn some practical ways to eat healthier?  Then you should attend our no-charge workshops at the office.  Our next workshop will be on Wednesday, June 22^nd at 7pm in the office.  Dr. Dean will cover risk factors for back injury, how to prevent injury, and how to apply evidence-based prevention principles to create optimal spinal health.  Call or stop by the office to reserve your spot for this workshop.

Prevention of coronary heart disease in women: a nonhormonal approach
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common and serious health problem facing women as they move beyond the reproductive years. Until recently, many postmenopausal women and their physicians relied heavily on hormone therapy to prevent cardiovascular disease, neglecting the well-recognized nonhormonal aspects of cardiovascular health. Simple lifestyle changes--exercise, diet, weight control, and avoidance of tobacco--can significantly reduce the chance of heart disease and its major risk factors, which are essentially the same for men and women.
