What’s Causing Your Headaches?
Frequent headaches may be common, but they aren’t normal. If you suffer from them frequently, there are a few common causes that you should be aware of.
1. Dehydration: Dehydration causes your blood vessels to constrict, which can lead to pain.
2. Caffeine withdrawal: If you regularly drink caffeinated beverages and then suddenly stop, you may experience caffeine withdrawal headaches. These can be excruciating and may last for several days.
3. Skipping meals: If you go too long without eating, your blood sugar can drop, resulting in a headache.
4. Eye strain: Staring at a computer screen or other digital device for long periods of time can cause eye strain, resulting in a tense head and neck.
5. Spinal misalignments: Spinal bones that are out of alignment can cause pinched nerves and a host of health issues that often result in headaches. Find out how an adjustment can help by booking a visit with us.
Expressing Thanks This Holiday Season
As the holiday season quickly approaches, we thought it was the perfect time to get in touch with our grateful side. With so much to be thankful for this year, we wanted to share a few ideas for expressing gratitude as the year winds down.
• Show appreciation by taking the time to listen to someone when they need to talk, or offering them a shoulder to cry on. Just being there for someone can be the best way to show you care.
• Sometimes the best way to show your appreciation is to simply tell the person how much they mean to you. A heartfelt message can go a long way in showing someone how much they are appreciated.
• Make a difference in someone’s life. This could be anything from volunteering your time to a worthy cause to lending a helping hand to someone in need.
We’re grateful to serve you and your family.

The custom orthotics I was recently fitted for and received from Dr. Swaim are the highest quality orthotics I have owned before. The orthotics literally made my overseas trip better by having the support I needed and kept my alignment more intact with all the walking I did!
