Everyone Needs a Strong Support System
Especially moms who want to stay healthy, young and energetic
Article contributed by Dr. Eric Plasker, Marietta, GA
Every mother has said at one time or another, “I wish I had a few extra hands.” Being a
good spouse, taking care of the kids, running a household, and perhaps even working or
volunteering outside of the home is a balancing act that can be exhausting. Having a
good support system of friends, family and community can make all the difference in the
world and make your life a lot easier.
Yet one of the most important and overlooked support systems is the one that holds you
upright, protects your central nerve system, moves you, and keeps you healthy. Of
course this is your spine!
Lifting kids, carrying laundry, unloading groceries and all of the other daily physical activities in your life can take their toll on your spine and nerve system, especially when you
find yourself rushing around with little time to exercise and sleep. Managing all of these
responsibilities and having a career outside the home can add even more stress to an
already full schedule.
Mission Statement
Rustici Chiropractic is committed to
the healthiest expression possible
for all people by eliminating the
Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
Through specific gentle Chiropractic
spinal adjustments to eliminate the
Vertebral Subluxation Complex,
interference of the nervous system
is safely removed allowing the
innate wisdom of the body to express optimal physical and mental
health. Through our commitment
to education and patient referrals
we can reach as many people as
early as possible thereby creating a
healthier world now and for future
generations. We strive for your
experience to be easy, efficient,
affordable and effective with a
friendly family atmosphere.
Many women begin to feel their spines wear down during pregnancy, when the weight
gains and pelvic movements during this process cause pressure on the spine and nerve
system and make them feel old before their time. Research has shown that chiropractic
care during pregnancy will keep a woman’s pelvis properly aligned while the fetus grows,
resulting in an easier birth process and a shorter labor.
Rapidly losing weight after the birth, holding your baby to breastfeed and carrying an infant car seat in and out of the house can affect your spine post-partum. As babies grow
into heavier children, mothers often find that lifting kids in and out of cars and carrying
them up and down stairs accelerates the wear and tear on their bodies and keeps them
from functioning at 100 percent.
To help alleviate the effects of these spinal strains, you should lift with your legs instead
of your back, maintain good posture even when holding children, tone your muscles
through regular exercise and get enough rest. Furthermore, you should keep your spine
and nerve system healthy and in line with regular chiropractic care, rather than wait
around for the inevitable severe episode of pain or health problems.
Chiropractic care is beneficial before, during and after pregnancy. In addition to keeping
your spinal bones aligned, chiropractic care removes interference within your body’s
nerve system, optimizing your immune system to help you avoid the colds and flus that so
many mothers of school-age children contract. Chiropractic care benefits grandmothers
too. Seniors are stronger, healthier and more active when they receive routine chiropractic adjustments because a nerve system free from interference strengthens all cells, tissues, organs and systems in the body.
For millions of moms, chiropractic care provides the support system that keeps them
healthy, balanced, straight and strong, so they can not only juggle activities and cope with
the stress of daily life, but also thrive and express their full potential. Happy Mother’s
Day!

12 Ways to Improve Your Relationships and Your Life
by Carol Tuttle
Carol Tuttle is a Master Energy Therapist and the author of the best-selling book, Remembering
Wholeness: A Personal Handbook for Thriving in the 21st Century
The following tips can help you improve your relationships; however, if you are seriously challenged by your relationships, get some help.
There are many new cutting-edge energy therapies that clear away negative emotions and negative thinking that make it difficult to create healthy, loving relationships.
Find a professional who is more interested in giving you tools and guidance in generating more
happiness than in trying to figure out why you feel the way you do. It is not necessary to find out why we feel sad or
depressed to clear these feelings.
The bottom line is, if we give a lot of attention to what we don't want, we create more of it.
To learn more about emotional release therapies that are designed to work with the mind/body energy system, including thoughts and feelings, visit The Carol Tuttle Healing Center.
12 Ways to Improve Your Relationships and Your Life
1. Choose to be happy rather than right in your relationships. This will prevent a lot of arguing!
2. Repeat in your mind: "It doesn't matter" when you can't stop arguing
3. Pay it forward. For every kind deed offered to you, do a kind deed for someone else.
4. Write thank-you notes frequently. The energy of gratitude feeds happiness.
5. Smile -- even if you don't feel like it. You eventually will!
6. When you think a complimentary thought about someone -- tell them.
7. Refrain from making judgments -- think something positive instead.
8. Ask your angels to flow the energy of happiness to your loved ones.
9. Hug someone -- tightly.
10. Ask your children to tuck you in bed and read you a story for a change.
11. Give some service to someone who is more needy than you.
12. Pray with your spouse and also with your family once a day.

Are you connected?
Our word health comes from the Old English word hale/whole, meaning one, unified, integrated,
connected, working as a single entity.
This is significant because if you explore the definitions of physical, emotional/mental and spiritual
health you’ll find that they all revere being unified, whole or connected.
Physical connections keep our body working as a whole – all our parts must work together in harmony. The job of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerve fibers) is to connect all the parts.
If there is any interference or blockage in this network of nerves sending energy and information to
all your parts, then you are partially dis-connected and not able to live at your fullest potential.
All our organs, systems, tissues and cells work together and need each other so a dis-connection in
one area will affect all the others. That could mean lower resistance to disease, less energy, less
strength, impaired sleep, diminished healing, diminished recuperative powers – in a word: dis-ease
(disharmony).
We all have a template, consider it our perfect genetic instructions – that can promote energy, healing and a connection to our deepest Source. The goal of all healers is to help us connect to that
Source by removing anything that interferes or blocks that connection.
Let’s promote physical connections so that we may have a stronger foundation upon which to promote mental/emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
The goal of chiropractic is to remove obstructions (subluxations) that block the flow of energy and
information to every cell of your body. To promote balance, ease, peace, happiness and relaxation.
To promote connection – to promote health.
Chiropractic should be a part of everyone’s lifestyle – everyone should get a chiropractic checkup on
a periodic basis to ensure they are “connected.”
DC usually stands for Doctor of Chiropractic but it can also mean Doctor of Connection.
