Vitamin D

Vitamin D is also known as the “sunshine vitamin”.  Your body makes vitamin D naturally when it is directly exposed to sunlight. You need 5-30 minutes of sun exposure 2- 3 days per week in your hands, face, arms and legs for your body to make and store vitamin D.   Vitamin D is fat soluble and can get stored in our body for use later.  During the winter, our sun exposure in northern climates is minimal and our bodies synthesize little, if any, vitamin D.  Many factors can affect our ability to get sufficient amounts of vitamin D through sun alone.  Factors that block /reduce vitamin D production include being in an area with high pollution, using sunscreen, spending more time indoors, poor gut health, the elderly, or having darker skin.  During winter months, it is particularly important to get vitamin D through certain foods and supplements.  

Vitamin D has many health benefits including:

Vitamin D enhances immune function. Supplementation of vitamin D daily during cold and flu season can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing influenza and other common viral illnesses. 

Helps to regulate cell growth which may help to prevent cancer and reduce inflammation in the body.

Supports bone health by helping your body pull calcium into bone. 

Recent studies suggest it may help to support weight loss.

Research has also shown that vitamin D may help to regulate mood and ward off depression.

The RDA for vitamin D is 600IU/day, but nutrition experts agree that most adults require at least 1000-2000 international units per day to maintain normal vitamin D levels throughout the winter time.  Fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines are good sources of vitamin D as is egg yolk.  There are many foods that are also fortified with vitamin D, including milk. Vitamin D deficiency is found through a blood test.  Those with deficiency of vitamin D may require much higher levels of vitamin D supplementation.  5,000-10,000 international units per day for several months is not unusual for those who are deficient.   As with all supplements, quality is crucial. Schubbe Resch carries a quality vitamin D3 supplement in both 1,000 IU capsules as well as 5,000 IU capsules. 

Welcome Dr. Dan Higgins

The Appleton office would like to welcome Dr. Dan Higgins to our clinic as of 1/2/2020.
He will be working Monday 7-6, Tuesday 8-5, Wednesday 2-6, Thursday 8-5, and Friday 7-5.
He is accepting new patients.

Per Dr. Dan--

I became a chiropractor because as a multiple sport athlete throughout my youth, I learned the benefits of chiropractic first hand. When a broken leg—suffered at the end of the football season—threatened to sideline me for a good portion of the upcoming basketball season, my chiropractor came to the rescue. He worked closely with my orthopedist and cut the normal rehab time in half. His care for me made all the difference, inspiring me to want to do the same for others.

Dr. Dan is delighted to be back in Appleton to raise his family in the same city in which he grew up.  He loves spending time with his wife, son and extended family and friends.  Outside the office, you may find him at the YMCA, coaching football or basketball, or tailgating at Packer or Badger games.  He also enjoys catching the occasional show at the PAC downtown.

BUOY Flotation + Rejuvenation

116 S. Commercial Street, Suite 010, Neenah

Tel: 920.558.4033

Flotation and rejuvenation, built with your well-being in mind. From the services to the products offered, you will enjoy relaxation and reverie. 

Health & Wellness

People float to relieve stress, recover from injuries, fight addiction, eliminate chronic pain, and much more. Studies indicate that flotation increases your dopamine and endorphin levels, boosting your mood and leaving you with a pleasant afterglow that lasts for days afterwards. Without the need to fight gravity or take in external information, you’ll likely experience the most complete relaxation you’ve ever felt.

Meditation

Everything you experience while floating comes from within yourself. It’s the perfect time to reflect, and there are reports of creative and personal insights abound. Flotation tanks can also be thought of as training wheels for meditation. After about 30-45 minutes of floating, your mind starts producing theta brainwaves, which are responsible for the between waking & sleeping state. After years of practice, people can enter theta state through deep meditation. Flotation tanks get you there with hardly any effort at all.

Self-Improvement

People have cut strokes off their golf game, developed complex scientific theories, and drafted entire portions of books while floating. With nothing to distract you, your level of concentration and knowledge absorption is astonishing.

Special pricing just for you! $10 off your first float experience and 3 floats for $150. Be sure to mention that you were referred by us!

Backpack Safety

ACA's Backpack Safety Checklist

One of the fundamental pieces of any back to school ensemble is, of course, the backpack, and although they’re practical, backpacks are a leading cause of back and shoulder pain for millions of children and adolescents.  As students head back to school, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) offers parents advice on preventing unnecessary backpack pain and injuries.

The ACA offers the following checklist to help parents select the best possible backpack for their children:

• Is the backpack the correct size for your child?  The backpack should never be wider or longer than your child’s torso, and the pack should not hang more than 4 inches below the waistline. A backpack that hangs too low increases the weight on the shoulders, causing your child to lean forward when walking.
• Does the backpack have two wide, padded shoulder straps?  Non-padded straps are not only uncomfortable, but also they can place unnecessary pressure on the neck and shoulder muscles.
• Does your child use both straps? Lugging a heavy backpack by one strap can cause a disproportionate shift of weight to one side, leading to neck and muscle spasms, low-back pain, and poor posture.
• Are the shoulder straps adjustable?  The shoulder straps should be adjustable so the backpack can be fitted to your child’s body. The backpack should be evenly centered in the middle of your child's back.
• Does the backpack have a padded back?  A padded back not only provides increased comfort, but also protects your child from being poked by sharp edges on school supplies (pencils, rulers, notebooks, etc.) inside the pack.
• Does the pack have several compartments?  A backpack with individualized compartments helps position the contents most effectively. Make sure that pointy or bulky objects are packed away from the area that will rest on your child's back, and try to place the heaviest items closet to the body.

The ACA recommends that parents or guardians help children pack their backpacks properly, and they should make sure children never carry more than 10 percent of their body weight.  For example, a child who weighs 100 pounds shouldn’t carry a backpack heavier than 10 pounds, and a 50-pound child shouldn’t carry more than 5 pounds.
In addition, parents should ask their children to report any pain or other problems resulting from carrying a backpack. If the pain is severe or persistent, seek care from a doctor of chiropractic or other health care professional.
