Dr. Anne Marie
Hello,
This is your Reading, MA chiropractor Dr. Anne Marie Marcellino. Just wanting to wish everyone a happy snow day and give you some “back saving” tips when shoveling the heavy snow:
1. Make sure you drink some water before you start shoveling. This allows your muscles to stay properly hydrated which prevents spasms later in the day.
2. Prep your muscles and spine before and after shoveling by doing some side bends and hamstring stretches.
3. When shoveling snow, keep your hips as square as possible and push the snow as far as you can.
4. When lifting the snow, use the power in your legs rather than your back.
5. When dropping the snow into a pile, turn your hips and drop the snow (Don’t rotate your spine and throw the snow! This leads to disc issues).
Have a great day and enjoy the snow!

Hello, this is your Reading MA chiropractor Dr. Anne Marie Marcellino. Are your neck and upper back constantly tight? Does your lower back consistently ache? Are you hunched over a computer all day? Your posture actually dictates how healthy you are. Have you ever looked at the difference in posture between a healthy person and a person who is sick? Which one do you most resemble?
We just completed our two anti aging posture challenges at Alive & Well. The winner in Group 1 was Johnathan and the winner in Group 2 was Tracy. They both won Ninja blenders!

“Pop Quiz” question #8: What percentage of fruits and vegetables should be on your plate at each meal? Answer: 50%
“Pop Quiz” Question = #9: What are subluxations and what causes them? Answer: Subluxations are when there is some form of pressure on your nervous system (brain and spinal cord) so that your body cannot perform at its optimal level. Subluxations are caused by STRESS: physical (from childbirth to present day), chemical (things that you are putting into/on your body or are in your environment that may not be good for it), and mental (things you are worrying about each day).
2. We have a Members Only page on our website!!! Go to our website at www.AWChiro.com and click on our Members Only button. The password is “Be Well”. On this page you will find our anti aging posture talk, our Gluten Free recipe book, and our Green Smoothie recipe book. Enjoy.

Hello Everyone!

POP QUIZ ANSWERS FOR QUESTIONS 4-6:
Pop Quiz Question #4: How many pounds of sugar does the average American consume in one year?
Answer: Approximately 150 pounds.
Pop Quiz Question #5: If the clothes on one side of your body were two sizes too small, what would happen?
Answer: It would be difficult for you too move because the clothes are too tight.
Pop Quiz Question #5 (continued): How does this compare to a body that is not aligned properly?
Answer (continued): If you have subluxation(s) some of the nerves that come off of your spine go to your muscles. These muscles will become tight. If the subluxation(s) are not corrected, you will eventually have chronic spinal misalignments and muscle tension. This leads to decreased mobility and postural imbalances which create total body “dis-ease”.
NOTE: A subluxation is when there is some form of pressure on a nerve(s) preventing the body from working at its optimal potential. The pressure can be as light as the weight of a dime.
Pop Quiz Question #6: What is the most important organ in your body ?
Hint: it looks like a whole walnut and feels like tofu.
Answer: YOUR BRAIN.
Why?
Answer (continued): Most people think that your heart is the most important organ in your body. The American Heart Association has done a great job in educating us about our heart. The reality is …What causes our heart to beat? What causes our lungs to breathe? What causes our whole body to function throughout the day? YOUR BRAIN! You only get one of them in your lifetime. TAKE CARE OF IT!
