Dr. Rodrigues Helps Roseville Family Chiropractic's Family Grow

On June 8th, the Roseville Family Chiropractic family got bigger. Dr. Juli Rodrigues announced the birth of their new son, Eli John Rodrigues.
Dr. Rodrigues treated patients up to one week before her delivery and has returned back to the office this week to begin treating the huge recent influx of other pregnant patients.
She 100 percent credits regular chiropractic adjustments for her ability to work right up to her delivery date and for her "easy" delivery.
We encourage all to send their congratulations to Dr. Rodrigues for her and her husbands recent accomplishment and thank all our patients for their patience during her absence. She looks forward to seeing you all soon and showing off all her new photos.

Dr. Cox of Roseville Family Chiropractic Helps Pregnant Women In Pain

Add More Zest To Your Life With Supplements

Doctors and health advisers are always trying to get you to eat better - or healthier.

It's no wonder why so many professionals are adamant. Our nation's obesity epidemic and prescription drug dependencies have grown to an alarming level.

While prescriptions can help, they always can strip the body of its natural need for proper nutritional balance.

So how can you fight these evil forces you ask?

One of the best things anyone can do to improve overall health is to take nutritional supplements (vitamins/minerals) in addition to his/her normal diet.

In our office we sell a couple of different products aimed at promoting longevity and vitality.

Pure Encapsulations and BioPharma are the two manufacturers of supplements we feature in our office.

BioPharma has a line of powder supplements (NanoGreens, NanoPro and NanOmega3) designed to give you all the fruits and vegetables, protein and Omega 3 fatty acids essential for your body's optimum performance. We have free samples and recipes available in our office and for the month of July you can save 10% off any purchase.

PURE has an entire series of supplements aimed at counter-balancing your system if you are on other medications that may be depleting or stripping your body of it's necessary nutrients.

While daily exercise, proper hydration and a well-balanced diet are all keys to aging gracefully, so to is the need to introduce nutritional supplements into your life.

Stress Sucks The Life Out Of You

To say times are tough is a little bit of an understatement in the world today.

Stock markets, jobless claims, foreclosures, war, etc., etc., etc.....blah, blah, blah!

These days, the daily news equals stress for most people. But while the future may remain out of our control, the one thing we can take charge of this year is OUR HEALTH!

Here are some tips to distress and learn to improve your life this year.

1. Visit your chiropractor often. Regular visits can alleviate tight muscles and tension.

2. Take breaks throughout your day. Brief interruptions to your stressful workday will help clear your mind, and get blood flowing to other parts of your body.

3. Drink more water. This is one thing we preach all the time. Water is the cure for all that ails you....including stress.

4. Learn to let things slide off your back. Don't sweat the petty stuff. Things happen. Just relax, regroup and move on.

5. A little more planning might save you some headaches. Don't procrastinate, accelerate or stray from original plans. Disruptions in our schedules and life usually equals increased stress levels.

We hope you find these tips useful and learn to deflect the stresses in your life. If you're still in need of "decompression" - visit our website, or call and schedule an appointment today.

Life is too short for stressful episodes.

Kids Need Chiropractic Too

If you're a parent we don't need to tell you how often kids fall, bump or crash. Now, whereas most know how to handle cuts and scraps and bruises, but bandages and Eskimo kisses don't necessarily work when it comes to often hidden musculoskeletal injuries.

While most parents have no qualms scheduling regular pediatric or dental exams, they often give little or no thought to the importance of having their children regularly examined by a chiropractor.

From birth, through the toddler years and even when they begin to fully engage in all activities on their own, children's bodies go through an incredible amount of stress and strain. Spinal misalignments and other nerve impingements are often common place, but can be addressed and overcome with a simple visit to the chiropractor.

Below is a list of just some of the conditions chiropractic has been known to positively address:

- Colic

- Bed wetting

- Asthma

- Allergies

- Scoliosis

- Ear Infections

- Headaches

- Sports Injuries

- Back Pain

- Neck Pain

- Auto mobile accidents

Don't be afraid to ask your doctor about chiropractic care for your children. There are things that can be done to help alleviate a vast majority of your child's pain without medications and the possibility of their harmful side-effects.

This 4th of July - Don't be a Weekend Warrior

It's been a whirl-wind over the past two weeks as Summer has officially come to Northern California.

While most of us really enjoy this time of year, it never ceases to amaze us how many patients begin presenting in our office with what we affectionately call, "Weekend Warrior Syndrome." This is when a person sustains an injury as the result of doing something (usually aggressively) for the first time in a long time.

While Winter brings its share of ski and snowboarding related injuries, Summer seems to laughingly trump the cold weather months when it comes to patients reporting with complaints.

Injuries sustained while wake boarding, water skiing, skateboarding, sitting in bleachers at baseball games, family picnics etc, are all atop the list for most common reasons patients begin to flock to our office. Oh, and don't forget yard work, as well as the stress of having the children home from school.

So, our advice to all as we enter this wonderful 4th of July holiday weekend is to have a nice, relaxing weekend with friends and family - and don't overdue it.

To help ensure you do stay 'safe and sane' this weekend - and throughout your Summer for that matter, we have compiled five friendly tips to keep you feeling healthy all year long.

1. Don't overdue yourself. This holds especially true if you haven't participated in physical activities since last Summer. Gradually work your way up to things as opposed to jumping right in.

2. Stretch before doing ANYTHING that requires ANY physical exertion. Five-to-10 minutes of stretching and warming up your muscles can make all the difference in the world.

3. Drink water and stay hydrated. Your body needs water to help keep all of it's parts functional. Dehydration causes fatigue which subsequently can lead to increased risk of injury.

4. Avoid the heat of the day. Even if all you're going to do is 'harmlessly' mow your lawn, try to do outdoor activities either early in the morning or in the earlier evening time to avoid the hot temps.

5. Don't just sit around all day. When you're out enjoying your kids soccer or little league game, or you're at the beach, parks, baseball stadiums etc, you have to stand up and walk around periodically. Sitting for extended periods of time makes the muscles constrict and limits the blood circulation, ultimately limiting ranges of movements, fatigued muscles and lending to more nagging aches and pains.
