Conditions Affected by Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is connected to many other health conditions of the body. While hearing loss may not be the cause of these diseases or conditions, it is considered a risk factor for many. *Tinnitus refers to the sensation of perceiving sounds that have no external source.. in other words, hearing sounds that are not there. *Meniere’s disease is a chronic inner ear disorder that causes recurring episodes of severe dizziness (vertigo), ear pressure, tinnitus, and hearing loss. It typically affects one ear. *Research also suggests that untreated hearing loss may contribute to cognitive decline and dementia. Addressing hearing changes early and seeking appropriate treatment can play an important role in maintaining overall health and well-being.

Taking time to care for your body isn’t indulgent, it’s essential! This May, celebrate strength, balance, and the beauty of well-being.
Do The Twist!
This spring, be sure to consider the mobility and strength required to do yard work and play sports like baseball or golf. The mid-back, or thoracic spine, is designed to twist, allowing for smooth motion while doing these activities. If your thoracic spine lacks the ability to twist, or has strength deficits, other areas may compensate for this, potentially resulting in injury to the low back, or lumbar spine. If you find these spring twisting activities are irritating your low back, consider addressing the strength and mobility of your thoracic spine. A strong and healthy thoracic spine can help take the load off of the already stressed lumbar spine.
Step Into Spring with Reflexology
Spring is a season of renewal, making it a great time to support whole body wellness. Reflexology is a gentle therapy that applies pressure to specific points on the feet believed to correspond with organs and systems throughout the body. Many people seek reflexology in spring to help encourage circulation, relaxation, and overall balance after the long winter months. Sessions may also support digestive health, reduce stress,stimulate nerve function, increase energy, boost circulation, induce a deep state of relaxation and eliminate toxins from the body and help the body reset as routines change with the season.
