Spinal Health Month

October 2000 is Spinal Health Month and the American Chiropractic Association is urging you to experience the benefits of preventive chiropractic care first hand. With Americans living longer and making more of their later years, there is a quest to remain healthy and retain youthful vigor naturally -- with alternative health care, such as chiropractic.

After consulting with your doctor of chiropractic, the ACA suggests the following tips, in addition to regular chiropractic care, to help maintain a healthy lifestyle:

• Stretching
• Walking
• Other exercises including swimming, bicycling, and tennis
• Eating a healthy, balanced diet
• Drinking plenty of water
• Taking nutritional supplements
