Staying Healthy and Covid-19
This goes without saying, but at Clugston Chiropractic our patients' health and well-being is our number one priority. We are taking all the necessary precautions at our office to keep our patients and staff healthy during this cold and flu season, especially now with the recent spread of the Coronavirus. Counters, and bathrooms are being thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant spray several times each day and adjusting equipment before and after each patient. As always, hand sanitizer is available for patients and staff to use. We are following the guidelines recommended by the Governor for the State of Michigan. WE WILL REMAIN OPEN to serve the community SAFELY for as long as possible! Additionally, we would like to recommend a few ways to be extra cautious and stay healthy:
*Stay home if you are sick! Please don't risk getting worse or infecting others. If you have a cough, fever or runny nose please stay home. Call the office and we will gladly reschedule your appointment.
*Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.

Arguably the most important thing to remember right now. Do not panic. Remain calm and stay positive. Despite hearing terms like "outbreak" and "pandemic" your actual likelihood of catching this virus remains extremely small, and you are not helpless in protecting yourself and your family and improving your immune response in times like these. Here are some easy changes you can make to stay healthy.
1. Stay calm. Many studies show stress can actually weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses and disease. Try implementing yoga, running, meditation or a massage into your daily routine and TURN.OFF.THE.NEWS :)

2. Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Bottom line: sleep deprivation suppresses the immune system. Need proof: Here is an excellent article showing the link.
3. Stay hydrated. There are many different recommendations for how much water you should consume each day. The easiest to remember is approximately eight 8 oz. glasses each day (8 x 8). Read about the immune benefits of drinking water here.
4. Vitamin D supplementation can help reduce the occurrence and symptoms of cold and flu. We also recommend a daily multivitamin along with a healthy, colorful diet! Read more here.
5. Continue with your chiropractic care plan. Now more than ever you need the benefits a healthy, aligned spine can offer. The purpose of an adjustment is to remove any interference with the nervous system so it is able to communicate with the rest of your body. When you are adjusted regularly your immune system is able to function at its best, allowing you to fight off viruses you may undoubtedly encounter in your daily lives. Multiple studies have proven this to be true. Here is a great article that dives into this topic a bit more.

Dr. Clugston's children, Liam and Allie have both been adjusted since birth. They receive regular, gentle adjustments mainly using the activator technique and are both healthy and thriving. But Liam and Allie are not the only children Dr. Clugston adjusts. He encourages his patients to bring in their entire family for care and truly enjoys educating them on the benefits of pediatric chiropractic, including: preventing and treating ear infections, asthma, colic and bed wetting; improving sleep; supporting a healthy immune system; and aiding proper growth and development. The nervous system controls every cell, tissue and organ in your entire body, so it is very important that the spine, which protects the nervous system, is in proper alignment. If the spine is misaligned it can not only lead to inflammation and pain, but it can damage the nerves, which deliver important messages to the rest of the body. Blocking these messages results in the common health issues children experience such as the ones listed above. Spinal manipulation results in a properly aligned spine and functioning nervous system. When we are proactive with our children’s health and keep their nervous systems working at their optimal levels from early on, we can prevent many problems down the road. After all, "the preservation of health is easier than the cure of the disease" -Dr. B.J. Palmer.

Chiropractic Care and Pregnancy
Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy are gentle, safe and effective in reducing pain, moving baby into the optimal position, and reducing labor times.

Chiropractic can also assist in proper positioning of the baby in utero, which contributes to a shorter delivery time and an easier vaginal birth with fewer interventions.
