Skyline Chiropractic is Open Regular Hours and Tips for Staying Healthy

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Skyline Chiropractic is open regular hours!
I have received many questions as to whether or not we will remain open during this pandemic. The short answer is YES!

We are primary care providers and chiropractic care represents an essential and necessary component of the health care program of millions of patients of all ages and all walks of life in the United States and worldwide.

The news of coronavirus (COVID-19) and its ongoing impact on everything from federal interest rates to your ability to attend church services is now capturing the attention of our country. While you might be wondering how coronavirus is impacting your work, home, school and community gatherings, I want to take a moment and assure you that our clinic is open and committed to serving you during this moment of uncertainty.

These moments often create tremendous fear and anxiety for those not rooted in their faith and understanding of where healing and protection from an illness comes from. According to the World Health Organization, Coronavirus is characterized by mild symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever and that the illness is often self-limiting (resolves naturally). When your immune system is working at its optimal rate, an infection will produce mild flu-like symptoms and resolve naturally. The concern comes only with those with increased susceptibility (the elderly or those with other pre-existing medical conditions) who might be more vulnerable to further illness or fatality. Note: According to the CDC the estimated broad range of fatalities of COVID-19 is 0.25%–3.0%. This implies a survival rate of 97- 99.75%!.

While the news of Coronavirus is rushing through every media channel, and more than likely overtaking your daily conversation - take comfort, guard your thoughts and mind against the collective consciousness of fear.

Keeping the Office Safe for You

Our commitment to you also extends to your time in the office for your chiropractic adjustments and nutritional care:

• We are practicing social distancing. Waiting room chairs are six feet apart. All appointments are staggered and spinalators are shut down.
• We are diffusing Thieves oils which carry natural anti-viral properties into our air
• We are using hand sanitizers between each adjustment
• We are sanitizing all areas of high touch points multiple times throughout the day
• We will be providing an extra immune boosting supplement with your adjustments

Focus on Your Health

At the moment we urge you to resist the temptation to forgo your chiropractic and nutritional care - if anything it's time to increase your focus on your spine, nerve system, and immunity.

Your Gut and the Coronavirus: Your immune system and gut are intimately connected. It's estimated that as much as 80% of your immune system resides within your gut. An out-of-balance gut/microbiome can weaken your immune system. To enhance your gut/immune health eat plenty of fermented and cultured foods, focus on your prebiotic and probiotics which can also enhance your immune system strength.

Your Diet and the Coronavirus: A strong immune system begins with what you find at the end of your fork. Load up on antioxidant-rich vegetables and focus on low glycemic fruits (berries), for instance, which can decrease free radicals, which ultimately keeps your immune system strong. The omega-3 fatty acids in wild-caught fish/grass-fed meats can help manage inflammation levels. The healing diet we have introduced to you provides all the nutrients you need to keep your immune system healthy.

Get Adjusted: Now more than ever keep your adjusting and nutrition schedule, or request an extra adjustment weekly! Research shows those who receive regular (weekly) chiropractic care had 200% stronger immune system than those who did not get adjusted.

• Double your Vitamin D3:
• Adults: 10,000 IU daily
• Children: 3-5000 IU daily
• D3 activates your P53 gene which is responsible for DNA synthesis of your immune system. It also has been shown very effective for upper respiratory issues and so much more.
• Double/Triple your Vitamin C:
• Adults: 2-3,000mg daily at minimum If dealing with issues can do 1-2,000mg/per hour awake
• Children: 500-1,000mg daily
• Vitamin C stimulates the production of white blood cells, especially lymphocytes which are anti-viral.
• Use Essential Oil Hand Sanitizer: Most store-bought hand sanitizers contain toxic ingredients. We have plenty for you.

More Tips for Staying Healthy

Sleep well: Your immune system regenerates itself with 7-8 hrs of restful sleep (sleep is especially important between the hours of 11pm - 2am).

Mindset and thoughts: What you think and fill your head with plays a huge roll in how healthy you can and will be and how powerful and effective your immune system is. Look for all the opportunities of happiness and hope especially even more now. Do NOT subject yourself to anyone spouting doom and gloom. Negative thoughts, fear and stress down-regulate the immune system.

Stay hydrated and keep sugar intake to a minimum: Drink half your body weight in ounces in water (160lb person drinks 80oz water daily). Your body is made up of mostly water and it’s needed to flush things. Sugar is a food source for disease to replicate faster.

Keep moving: Exercise helps to increase body temperature which will make the environment less hospitable for virus and bacteria.
