Dealing with Stress: The Chiropractic Approach
Wednesday, October 7, 2pm
The word "Stress" is used frequently to describe events, choices, and relationships in our lives. Stress causes our body to react and adapt to challenges. At first, we may do very well with adapting, but something happens and the body cannot keep up with the added demands. The inability to adapt disrupts nearly every system in the body which leads to diminished health and an increased propensity to get sick. Dr. Kahn & Dr. Weingarten of Port Orange Family Chiropractic will provide information on dealing with this major cause of 75% of all illnesses and the number one cause of sickness and disease.
