WHY AM I SO TIRED
After a full day of physical work it is natural that we are comfortably tired. After a full night's rest, we awake ready to face a new day with vim, vigor and vitality.

But what would cause us to feel like we are running out of gas at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Or worse yet, wake up almost as tired as when we went to bed?


Going through the carpal tunnel
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome refers to a variety of symptoms, including numbness, tingling and pain the in the hand, wrist and arm and associated weakness or wasting away of hand muscles that are supplied by the Median Nerve. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when tendons in the wrist become inflamed after being aggravated. A tunnel of bones and ligaments in the wrist narrows, pinching nerves that reach the fingers and the muscle at the base of the thumb.


Chiropractors, Ground Zero Heroes
The atrocities of September 11, 2001 have affected us all. Stress levels are high. A 16% increase in prescriptions for "mood regulators" has occurred since the tragedy. Most people are at a loss as to how they can help. Like many Americans, chiropractors have donated blood and made substantial donations to the Red Cross relief fund.

However, for a growing number of chiropractors, "how to help" immediately meant doing the thing they do best: to give chiropractic adjustments to the workers at the site of the World Trade Center.


You Can Stand the Pain and Do Your Job
Sure you can stand the pain, but can you stand what the pain is doing to your life? Should you stand the pain?

This is especially true with work-related accidents and injury. Ignoring or enduring pain no longer makes you tough. It makes you vulnerable. If you don't have your pains investigated on a timely basis, you could be permanently ruining your health. You already know it's affecting your job.
