Third Annual Run for Prevention date announced

AlignLife Springfield IL Health Missions Run for Prevention 2016 In 2015 we launched the inaugural Health Missions Run for Prevention 5k, right here in Springfield. As a result, we saw more than 50 runners take part in the AlignLife of Springfield event in Washington Park. Last year the number of participants almost doubled and we raised thousands of dollars for Health Missions.

This year the run will take place on Saturday, September 30th and registration is now open. Health Missions is a non-profit established in 2004 to improve exposure of natural healthcare to underprivileged communities, domestically and around the world. The charity also works to educate the public about natural health opportunities, such as chiropractic care and lifestyle choices to enhance their health and vitality.

We not only want to raise money for Health Missions but also involve the community. From young to old and seasoned runners to novices, participants can walk, jog or run the course. Now is the time to begin training for our 5k, while it’s not too hot, and with plenty of time to get in shape.

The third annual Run for Prevention will start at 9 am. There are only 250 places available so make sure you register soon. All participants will receive a free t-shirt and medal. Registration is $25 per person before August 30th and $30 per person after. There is plenty of parking, which is free.

For more information about the 5k Run for Prevention call 217-787-7500 or visit AlignLife Springfield's Facebook page.

You can register for the run here.

Kumler Outreach Ministries receives more than 1,200 nonperishable food items from AlignLife of Springfield

Last week we delivered more than 1,200 non-perishable food items to Kumler Outreach Ministries thanks to the kindness of our clients, families, and friends at AlignLife of Springfield . I cannot put into words how grateful I truly am to all of you that supported our efforts during the 2017 Thanksgiving in July initiative.  Following the vandalism earlier in the year at Kumler Outreach Ministries we decided to revisit the nonprofit, to which we donated more than 800 non-perishable food items in 2015. Kumler Outreach Ministries, located at 303 N Grand Ave E, Springfield, IL, meets people where they live, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, helping clothe people, teaching life skills and building relationships. The food pantry, clothing ministry, and medicine program reach thousands of people each year in the city and surrounding area. Sharon Brown, Kumler Outreach Ministries executive director, and her team provide support to those who need it most in our community...

What to expect from your chiropractor

Good chiropractors do everything in their power to help relieve their patients’ symptoms as fast as possible – with as few adjustments as necessary – and also give advice on how to avoid future episodes of back pain or sciatica. All treatment must be based on an accurate diagnosis of your back pain. Make sure your chiropractor is well informed regarding your medical history, including ongoing medical conditions, current medications, traumatic or surgical history, and lifestyle factors. You should feel comfortable asking all the questions necessary to understand the chiropractic examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan when you meet with your chiropractor whether it is your first visit or during ongoing treatment. The chiropractor may check your posture and movement patterns, looking for things that aren't normal, such as one shoulder or hip that is higher than the other or a muscle group that isn’t working properly. The exam may also include muscle, reflex, and neurologic...

Acupuncture during pregnancy

Alternative methods of healthcare are being explored more than ever before as we enter into increasingly progressive realms of modern medicine. Beyond pain management, the use of acupuncture continues to grow in popularity. Acupuncture is being used as a fertility aid, providing relief during pregnancy and in inducing labor—not only safe, it is also beneficial to mom and baby. Acupuncture stimulates specific points in the body by inserting thin needles through the skin. Practitioners implement acupuncture in a number of different ways. I practice a combination of traditional points, which can be traced back thousands of years in Chinese medicine, coupled with understanding the physiological functions and anatomical structure being treated. In no way is acupuncture a substitute for Western prenatal medical care, yet, it is very safe and offers complementary care with many benefits. Acupuncture can be extremely effective at relieving stress, morning sickness, hip and lower back pa...
