When we remodeled our facility, we endeavored to develop a clinic which is open and inviting. The color scheme and art work were included to encourage a safe-healing environment. Besides being beautiful it is extremely functional with 3200 square feet of clinical treatment area.
1. Limit your time outdoors. Each spring, trees release billions of tiny pollen grains into the air. When you breathe them into your nose and lungs, they can trigger an allergic reaction. Staying inside can help, especially on windy days and during the early morning hours, when pollen counts are highest. 2. Get natural relief. Some herbal remedies may help stave off allergy symptoms. More research is needed, but an extract from a shrub called butterbur shows promise. Biminne, a Chinese herbal formula with ingredients like ginkgo biloba and Chinese skullcap, may also help. One study found that people who took biminne five times a day for 12 weeks still felt the benefits a year later. 3. Tweak your home. Simple changes make a difference. Shut all windows to keep out pollen. Use an air conditioner to cool your home instead of a fan, which draws in air from outside. Take off your shoes at the door and ask guests to do the same. That keeps allergens outside. Finally, don’t allow guests, or yourself, to smoke inside the home. It can make allergy symptoms worse. If you or someone you live with smokes, now is a good time to quit. N A T U R A L W A Y S T O B E A T S P R I N G A L L E R G I E S

Postural Correction Exercise Many people sit for hours hunched over a computer. We recommend taking regular breaks. Try this exercise during a break to reverse the flexed posturing and strengthen the back muscles. Sit up straight with arms at your side and thumbs pointing up. Gently tuck chin in to lengthen spine while hold belly tight without holding your breath. Then squeeze the shoulder blades together while lifting arms to about 45 degrees away from your body still at your side. Hold for 5 seconds and repeat 10 times.

Manypatientsbenefit from thisexercise,andwehope ithelps you, too! However, if it is not met with a good outcome rapidly, please do not continue to perform the exercise. To get an individualized exercise program for your specific problem, it is best to see a SP.OR.T.S. physical therapist to perform an evaluation at which time a more focused approach will really make a difference.
