Essence of Wellness Newsletter

[[Dear %1%|Dear Wellness Member]],

Welcome 


The holiday season is always a busy time of year and here at Essence of Wellness is no exception.  Over the holiday season stress is generally accepted as part of the holiday package. Between shopping at the mall, fighting traffic and visits from in-laws, there are some potentially stressful situations to get through even before you can sit down and enjoy the turkey!

What better way to relieve your stresses than a chiropractic adjustment!  Preventive chiropractic adjustments will help keep your spine functioning optimally by reducing the effects of poor posture, inactivity and of course stresses that lead to muscle and joint problems.

Also, for last minute shoppers and regular supplement users, we are offering all of our current inventory of products at 20% off regular prices.  The 20% off pricing will be good while supplies last or from December 22 to December 31, 2008.

The effect of a manual therapy knee protocol on osteoarthritic knee pain

Chiropractic management of low back pain and low back-related leg complaints: a literature synthesis
