What Else Can I Do To Sleep?



Sometimes getting to sleep can be difficult. Here's some things you may not have tought of:

Be Consistent - go to sleep near the same time each night

Cut the screen time right before bed - limit that phone or computer usage at night

Don't exercise right before sleep

The same goes for eating - don't snack when it's time to sleep

If you haven't tried these, do it, nothing is more important than getting goodrest at night.

We Worry About More Than Just The Nerves...


The Entire Neck


In the neck especially we need to thing about blood vessels.

Think about the joints, muscles and ligaments too.

Sure, poor alignment will put unwanted stress on nerves. They won't work as good as they can but neither will the muscles.

Ligaments connect bone to another bone and tendons attach muscle to bone.

So, you see, it's not just the nerves to think about. Getting things in alignment will help more than just your nervous system.

We Think More About Our Posture...


Two Strapping...


I remember as a kid we would often would carry or school bag or golf bag, etc, on one shoulder. Then we started using back packs or 2 shoulder straps.

This method of carrying things carried over from carrying books, to babies, to our golf clubs.

For golf, for example, a push/pull cart was often used. Keeping good posture in mind will help to keep our neck or back pain pain free.

Get Your Vitamin D!!!


What's the best way---through the sun.

We aren't vampires... Although some may think they are.

Below a certain latitude, you may get it all year around.

I see some people just cake on the lotion! If you think you are getting sun-burn then cover up or get out of the sun.

For most of us we may want to supplement because, especially in the winter months, we may not get much Vit. D.

Jane Talks About The Traction Pillow...

As explained there is a support side and a traction side.

Don't flip the pillow, just rotate it. In other words, turn it 180 degrees.

Keep in mind, it may take some time to get used to.

Use the Arc4Life Cervical Traction Pillow for 15 minutes and go back to the pillow you are used to.

"He Is Always Using Paper Towels"

When my father comes over he always uses paper towels for everything.

From Wiping hands to Laying things out.

At first I thought it was a waste of money -

But it does:

Limit the spread of germs. By less people touching the kitchen towel, dishes get wiped with something clean, instead of just putting something that might be wet on the counter, we have paper towels...

What Is Our CNS?


The Central Nervous System Of A Man



The CNS typically stands for our Central Nervous System. This is our brain and spinal cord.

Trust me, I've met some individuals that seemed to have no spine, maybe no brain too ;-). Just kidding. We all have them.

The spinal cord and brain are so important that they were built encased in bone.

The brain is surrounded by the skull and our spinal cord is surrounded by vertebrae.

If You Don't Get Your Sleep?

Your body needs sleep just like food and water!

Try going without it...

Mistakes start to happen. Maybe it's mental fatigue, maybe it's physical? Bottom line is that it's not good.

If you bedroom is very conducive for sleep, it helps. Make it dark and quiet. Have a good pillow and a good mattress. And don't have electronics right next to you.

Use A Neck Roll To Restore The Curve



The neck should have a "C" curve. When we have a normal curve the spinal cord is relaxed.

Nerves can then exit the spine with no pressure.

    Stretching not only loosens you up, and wakes up that muscle, but it prevents injury.

    I say this because many people think they need a large traction pillow because they have a King size bed.

    A large is for someone 6'1" and over, a small is for 5'1" or 5'2" and under.

    It might be for work, but so many of us now use the phone for everything else too...

    Maybe it's to text, maybe it's watching a video, maybe it's got the grocery list, etc.

    The bottom line is that it's not good for posture. Even if you have a huge screen, you are still hunching forward.
