Description
Dr. McCormick, a certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner, has worked with a variety of patients from infants to seniors, from the sedentary to the elite athlete. As a former school teacher and administrator he understands the importance of educating his patients so they can make sound health decisions. Dr. McCormick uses a gentle chiropractic approach to improving normal nerve flow, thus restoring the body's natural balance. He has many athletes who seek care to improve their performance. Foot orthotics, which provide structural support for the foot and create better motion patterns and spinal balance, are custom made in the office by Dr. McCormick. Dr. McCormick also believes that our body needs the basic building blocks supplied by whole foods. Some of our most basic problems can be remedied by whole food supplementation.
1) Get plenty of rest. Most adults require 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Remember that your body does most of its healing during your resting times. 2) Get some sun light. Our body does not produce as much vitamin D during this period so you may want to supplement during the winter months. There are an increasing number of research studies that basically state that Vitamin D is one of the leading immune system boosters. Vitamin D is also critical in helping get calcium into the blood stream. Standard Process manufactures a great vitamin D supplement which we carry in the office. The recommended daily amount is 400-800 IU. However, some recent studies have shown that 2000 IU daily will substantially reduce your chances of catching the flu. Remember that you can take in too much Vitamin D. 3) During this period, our diets can go awry. Do the best that you can to make sure that you are getting adequate amounts of fresh vegetables and fruits. This may help counter balance the additional burden those holiday sweets put on our systems. Allow yourself to enjoy the feasts that families so often prepare. I personally eat stuff in quantities that I would not normally do.
