Diabetes Medication Harmful to Heart Health

Another dangerous drug is being questioned by the FDA. Research shows the diabetes medication Avandia being linked to a severe increased risk in heart attacks and heart related death. Studies have shown that this drug alone causes 500 heart attacks a month, and 300 deaths a quarter. How does a drug that has proven to be unsafe stay on the market? Why has the FDA not done anything to stop the distribution of Avandia, even after the American Diabetes Association recommended avoiding the drug?

It is a no brainer that drugs such as Avandia should be removed from the market, but there are other ways to avoid having to take such a perilous health course. Imagine the empowerment people would have if they realized that their body had the power to heal itself. Instead of taking a prescription, we could focus on living a wellness lifestyle, and eliminate drug use except for the cases when it is truly necessary.

Every person has the power to be healthy if they simply make the choice. We want this choice to be easy for you, so if you are not already doing your best to maintain wellness and are interested in a free consultation or have questions please send us an email at info@seattlefamilychiro.com.

Also- It's the last week of Heart Healthy Month! Be sure to swing by for an adjustment and pick up your FREE yoga pass to Whole Life Yoga studio!

He specializes in one on one workouts that combine cardio and weight bearing exercises. This month he is offering a free consultation to any patient looking to increase their own heart health!

Feb 15-19th: Nutrition- Meet Emily Edison, owner of Momentum Nutrition and Fitness. A proper diet can increase energy levels and decrease your risk for heart disease. Drop by to pick up one of Emily's cards to set up a consultation and take charge of your heart!

Feb 22-26: FREE YOGA PASSES!!- We have partnered with Whole Life Yoga in Greenwood to provide all of our patients and family with FREE passes for a yoga class of their choice. Yoga helps to detoxify the blood supply and improve circulation. Ask Amanda for a flier and pass today!

It's a New Year!

It's time for new and fresh beginnings here at Seattle Wellness Group! With the holidays being over, and all the cheery decorations disappearing we have decided to brighten up the office by having **Hawaii Month!** At the moment, the office is covered in paper pineapples, coconuts and a scenic beach view hanging in the waiting room. We even replaced our Christmas tree with a light up palm tree! So we hope you enjoy Hawaii month, and we encourage to share the island life with your friends and family!

**For every patient that refers a new patient to our office this month, we will enter you into a drawing to win a night out at Roy's Seafood and Hawaiian Restaurant. If chiropractic care has helped you, why not let it help others?**

We hope to see you all soon!

Subluxation Station

What is a subluxation you say? And why have a station? Those of you unfamiliar with the chiropractic world might look at the word subluxation and secretly say, "That doesn't sound good..." while those educated in the terminology are excitedly trying to figure out a way to describe exactly how knowing about subluxations has changed their life!

So, to begin, a chiropractic subluxation occurs when a spinal bone is out of alignment and impinges on the nerves in the surrounding area, therefore creating an array of different symptoms depending on the location of the subluxation. Seeing that the vertebrae protect the spinal cord, which controls the bodies nervous system, you can understand how big of an impact a subluxation could have on your quality of living.

Obviously, chiropractic care is the best and most effective way to treat subluxated spinal bones. But how can we discover whereabout these subluxations are occuring in the body? How can we monitor exactly how effective your nervous system is?

TADA! Subluxation station! We are excited to introduce to you the newest addition to our office equipment. This machine is able to check for nerve interference by measuring the activity of the muscles directly controlled by the spinal nerves.

We are super excited about having this in our office, and want YOU to try it out! If you are an existing patient, this is a great time to check it out (just ask us!). For any potential new patients, please feel free to call 206.826.1005 to schedule an appointment, and discover the true effectiveness of your own nervous system. Mention this post and get a discount!!
