Ontario Chiropractic Association: Simple Things

Our days are filled with simple tasks and moments: rising, dressing, driving, eating, playing and so much more. But if pain and mobility issues are making those simple, small things into huge obstacles to overcome, it’s time to see a chiropractor.

Come see one of our awesome chiropractors at NHWC by calling 519-662-4441.

Importance of Sleep

 Author: CCA Staff Team

We know that physical activity and a good diet go hand in hand when it comes to our health. We also understand the importance of personal hygiene practices, like brushing our teeth and bathing. But do we place a similar emphasis on our sleeping patterns?

Sleep plays an important role in maintaining a person’s health and well-being over the course of their life. During sleep, your body is working to restore itself and support healthy brain function and physical health for the next day. Therefore, getting good quality sleep can help protect and improve your mental health, physical health, and overall quality of life.

According to the National Institute of Health, 50–70 million adults in the United States suffer from a sleep disorder or report having insufficient sleep. Studies have shown that not getting enough sleep can lead to cognitive impairments such as difficulty making decisions, solving problems, learning and retaining information, controlling emotions and behaviour, or coping with change. Ongoing sleep deficiency is also linked to an increased risk of health problems including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even early mortality.

Exercise plays a role in how well your body is able to rest-up: research has shown that increased sedentary time is associated with poorer sleep quality than those who reported exercising. Those who exercised more regularly were less likely to report sleep disturbances and daytime tiredness.

The National Sleep Foundation issued recommendations for appropriate sleep durations. The recommended sleep guidelines show that at different stages of our lives we require different amounts of sleep. Typically, infants and newborns need nearly twice as much sleep as a fully-grown adult, and that duration reduces in slight increments as children grow into adults:

 

• Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours each day
  
• Infants (4–11 months): 12–15 hours
  
• Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours
  
• Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours
  
• School-age children (6–13 years): 9–11 hours
  
• Teenagers (14–17 years): 8–10 hours
  
• Younger adults (18–25 years): 7–9 hours
  
• Adults (26–64 years): 7–9 hours
  
• Older adults (65+ years): 7–8 hours
  

It’s never too late to develop good sleep habits. Here are a few things you can do to boost your sleep quality and get you into a routine for a good night’s sleep:
 

1. Stick to a regular sleep–wake schedule, even on weekends
   
2. Avoid screen time (TV, phone, tablet, computer) within two hours of bedtime
   
3. Make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet
   
4. Limit daytime naps
   
5. Include physical activity in your daily routine
   

These are just a few of the steps you can take to ensure your body and your environment is primed for sleep. For more tips on how to improve your sleep quality and habits, ask your chiropractor.

WE'RE OPEN AND WE MISSED YOU!

Effective June 1, 2020 we are taking bookings for appointments.

Our goal is to provide an environment where the safety and well-being of our customers, employees, their families, and the community is our top priority.

New Hamburg Wellness Centre (NHWC) has developed safety policies and procedures that will be implemented effective June 1, 2020 as we begin our graduated return to business. These policies exceed public health requirements and will remain in force for the foreseeable future to keep you safe.

Safety Measures We Have Implemented At NHWC:

·         Installation of a plexi-glass barrier at the front desk.

·      Tape markers and rearranged office layout and traffic flow for safe physical distancing; including exiting out the back door.

·     Secondary areas for scheduling appointments and accepting payments to minimize front desk traffic; use of contact-less payments and e-mailed receipts to limit paper.

·    Removal of all soft materials (magazines, books, business cards, etc.).

·        Covering of all soft cloth chairs.

·        Regular strict cleaning and disinfecting of the entire office.

·    Mandatory use of medical grade facial PPE/masks for all health care practitioners and staff, including following protocols for personal and clinic hygiene.

·        On-site laundry facilities for increased cleaning capability.

·         Minimized staffing.

·   Creation of a safe patient flow schedule. Practitioner schedules have been adjusted to allow suitable time for proper cleaning and disinfecting between treatments, and to limit the number of people in our office.

·       No walk-in patients will be accepted at this time.

·    All team members have been trained on new return to work health and safety practices and requirements.

·    A registry of all people entering the clinic will be kept to help with contact tracing, including essential visitors/aids and those delivering supplies and goods.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE AT 519-662-4441 TO ANSWER OUR SCREENING QUESTIONS.

 

We look forward to seeing you again!
