Daysha has been part of our clinic community for years. She shares about how adjustments have impacted her health and lifestyle, including currently, while she is pregnant with twins! She explains how adjustments helped alleviate pains and nausea usually associated with pregnancy, as well as helping reposition one twin which was breached, by helping realign her hips.
Please give a congrats to Daysha and her growing family!
And share this for any friends or family who are pregnant and looking to relieve hip pain or balance the positioning of the baby (or babies in this case!) as the delivery day nears!
In recent weeks, a lot of office workers in the Denver Metro area have moved to work from home with the Colorado Stay at Home orders in response to COVID-19. While the stay at home orders are intended to slow the spread of the disease, we know a lot of people are feeling pain in their back, hips, shoulders, necks, elbows, etc from their makeshift work from home work stations.
Don’t be tempted to work from the couch! Poor ergonomics can decrease your energy, focus, motivation, and productivity…!
Dr. Zales explains what to look for to set up a great workstation for the time being while you’re working from home.
Need help from Dr. Zales to improve your workstation? Take photos of your workspace, have a family member take a photo of you sitting in your workstation (or set the camera away with a timer delay if you don’t have anyone else in your household – now is the time of social distancing), and email drbryan [at] kambeitzchiropractic [dot] com, so he can see where adjustments may be made for a better, more comfortable and efficient workspace.

Active Isolated Stretching/ Strengthening (AISS) is a complete form of bodywork that has been in development by Kinesiologist Arron L Mattes for the past 30 years. It is the most effective and specific form of stretching and muscle activation in the bodywork world. At our clinic, Thomas specializes in Orthopedic massage and AISS. In 2012, he received permission from Aaron Mattes, the founder of the Active Isolated Stretching/ Strengthening technique, to teach AISS to the massage community as continuing education.
Babies benefit from adjustments just as much as their parents! In this video Dr. Kambeitz works with Cavan, improving his range of motion. It’s not easy being a baby, learning to roll, crawl, and walk all while trying to hold up a proportionally larger head. While they might not be able to voice exactly what is bothering them, babies too can have sore necks. Fortunately, chiropractic adjustments provide relief aching back and necks for both young and old.

When was the last time you had an Epsom Salt Bath?
The National Academy of Sciences states that American’s are extremely magnesium deficient. This contributes to America’s high rates of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis, digestive maladies, chronic fatigue and many other chronic diseases.
Our magnesium levels have dropped by half in the last century due to changes in agriculture and our diet. In fact, the modern American diet of fat, sugar, salt and protein actually works to speed up the depletion of magnesium from our bodies.
Magnesium is poorly absorbed through the stomach and studies have shown that magnesium is better absorbed through the skin as from soaking in a bath.
The benefits of soaking in an Epsom salt
bath include:
• Improved heart and
circulatory health, reducing irregular heartbeats, preventing hardening of the arteries,
reducing blood clots and lowering blood pressure.
• Improved ability for the
body to use insulin, reducing the incidence or
severity of diabetes.
• Flushing
toxins and heavy metals
• Stress relief. Excess adrenaline and stress are believed to
drain magnesium, a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind
adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that
creates a feeling of well being and relaxation.
• Reduces inflammation to
relieve pain and muscle cramps.
•
Improved absorption of nutrients.
Recommendation: Add two cups of Epsom salt to a warm bath and
soak for at least 12 minutes up to three times per week.
