We work or study hard most days of the week, then on weekends, isn’t nice to just sleep in? Yea! But sadly, most people complain that they feel groggy or worse have body pains after they oversleep on a weekend. Shouldn’t we feel better and more rested after longer sleep? Why is that?

Posted on 07/19/2014
When Chicago White Sox minor-league Greg Shepard remembers his life-altering sports injury in 2000 where he slammed into the left center field wall chasing a fly ball, let’s say his words are simple: “The wall won.” The next morning, Shepard woke up virtually paralyzed. “I couldn’t lift my body out of bed, turn my head or move my right arm,” says Shepard. Naturally, his wife at the time wanted to rush him to the emergency room straight-away. But Shepard had something else in mind. “I…

Fitness Focus – Basketball Injuries Helped by Chiropractic
Posted on 07/05/2014
Clearly, a sport that requires tremendous power and speed will lend itself to injuries. And so it is with basketball. In fact, if you go by sheer number alone, basketball is the most injure-prone sport of any in the nation – with the latest 2010 data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission showing its 528,584 reported injuries, topping even football’s 489,676. Sidelining hoopsters were everything from back spasm to sprained ankles. That explains why many professional teams – across…
Chiropractic is a regulated profession in over 50 countries in the world but as of this writing in early May 2014 there is no Act of Congress that legislates the practice of Chiropractic in the Philippines.

If you haven’t had your spine checked and you live in Canada, USA or Australia you are in the minority as there is an adequate availability of chiropractors in your communities.

Chiropractic Focus – Why Chiropractic maintenenace care makes sense
Posted on 12/09/2013Mary just saw her chiropractor for her regular maintenance visit and was having a lunch with her friend, Stella. She explained that she had been doing this for years following her initial course of spinal correction, going about 4 to 5 times a year some years and then 10 to 12 times other years, depending on how life goes. So her friend asked her: “Why do you undergo Chiropractic maintenance? Didn’t the doctor fix you the first time?” A simple…

Wellness focus – Introducing the Stress Massage
Posted on 12/02/2013I treated myself to a new massage experience at Mabuhay Chiropractic Clinics, located in Las Pinas / Alabang, offering an advanced “stress massage” in their SM Southmall clinic, to help people reduce their stress and to introduce the connection between spine and nerves, between posture and general health. It only took 30 minutes for the therapist to focus on massaging the back and neck, apparently stimulating nerves at their spinal root; then focusing on the hands and feet, the next nerve…
