Dr. Awe Asks some important questions of interest to Huntley residents - Chiropractor Huntley Dr. Awe Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.

What's Your Comfort Food?

Backaches and sciatica image.

You’re sick in bed and longing for some of your mother's homemade chicken soup. Or…your daughter just broke up with her boyfriend of several months and is diving into the chocolate like there’s no tomorrow. Or…your son just lost his school championship football match and he asks you to make him his favorite dinner – a cheeseburger with extra onions! What do all these scenarios have in common? Comfort food – food that makes you feel good, like a favorite childhood security blanket or a warm, lingering hug from Grandma.

Comfort foods tend to be gender specific. While men generally opt for hearty stews, meat and mashed potatoes, and soups when they need to “feel better,” women typically go in for the “quick fix” like chocolate or ice cream, foods they typically can just “grab” and don’t have to spend time making for themselves.

Comfort food preferences are usually established in early childhood and are carried forward into adulthood. They are based on associations that evoke pleasurable psychological feelings that are soothing and result in physical comfort as well, as well as temporary relief from stress or disappointment.
