From what the newspapers and TV serve up, you would think we are gluttons for negativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">But the fact is, there is  always so much more good news happening than bad. It is probably true  that we overlook the many daily events and experiences for which we can  be grateful and happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">For health reasons, it is  important to get more good news than bad. Stories about calamities can  add to your level of stress and bring about physical tension and mental  anxiety.\u00a0 This stress can help create subluxations that can lead to back  problems, headaches, stomach conditions, and many other dis-eases. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Chiropractic care can  relieve back pain, headaches, and the effects of subluxations and  stress. To support your health efforts, we also offer regular classes on  Yoga, nutrition and medication. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">As additional support, I  suggest you try to limit the amount of negative news you\u00a0 get assaulted  with each day. Instead, look for the good news events. Find reasons for  which you can show gratitude. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"> This is one of the reasons  we invite our patients to fill out a survey at some point during their  active care.\u00a0 We call these \u201cSuccess Stories.\u201d\u00a0 It is a time to reflect  on your health progress and achievements and write them down. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"> We love hearing about your  success. Part of getting and staying healthy is staying positive, and  nothing is more positive than celebrating the successes we all share in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">See you soon,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Dr. John<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">PS\u00a0 We invite you to read  what other patients have said in our reception room.\u00a0 We have also  recently posted a number of these patient successes on our web site and  you can read them there at www._____ .com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good News Is A Wonderful Thing Dear Patients and Friends, We get hit with bad news all the time.
