Stress Management

Keep it Positive!

Although we don’t yet fully understand the mind/body connection, we do know that positive attitude can:

  • help improve mood, self-esteem and sense of well-being
  • decrease depression, anxiety and hostility
  • lessen pain and other bodily symptoms
  • speed recovery
  • enhance immune function
  • extend longevity

We also know that to a great extent, our attitude is determined by how we decide to think about events, This “self-talk,” whether positive or negative, is so powerful that it determines not just our emotions, but the condition of our physical and mental well-being as well.

Three simple action steps to help optimize your emotional health:
  1. REALIZE YOU HAVE CONTROL. The great thing about your attitude is that it’s yours. You cannot control what others say or do, but you can control how you react to it. Simply put, no one can put you in a bad mood unless you give them permission!

  2. BE THANKFUL. Put things in perspective. You are alive, something that billions of those before us cannot say. You have food, shelter and safety. Something that millions alive today do not enjoy. Appreciate your countless blessings!

  3. DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. Remember what’s important, and ignore the little things. Focus on the larger picture and you’ll find less frustration in your daily interaction with others. The things that matter most are your health and happiness and your family’s health and happiness.

Dr. Steve Asks some important questions of interest to Buffalo residents - Chiropractor Buffalo Dr. Steve Asks...

Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Buffalo chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
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.
