Chiropractic Tip of the Month: The Four R's of Chiropractic

BJ Palmer, the son of the founder of chiropractic, suggested the concept of Re-hydration, Rest, Rejuvenation and Realignment.

Re-Hydration is necessary because almost every process in the body invoves water. Many suffer energy loss and lack of healing due to insufficient fluid intake.

Rest includes adequate sleep, quiet time and meditation.

Rejuvenation involves the use of proper nutrition and invigorating forms of exercise.

Realignment of the spine is necessary for the proper functioning and revitalization of the organs and cells.

Follow these 4 R's to a a vibrant and healthy life.

Naturopathic Tip of the Month: Vitamin D

Vitamin D has become a popular topic. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that has the properties of both a vitamin and a hormone. The largest source of Vitamin D is exposure to the sun. Twenty minutes of sunlight per day is sufficient to ensure adequate amounts and prevent some episodes of depression. Most people lack sun exposure in the winter and therefore suffer from Vitamin D deficiency. Cod liver oil, dairy and eggs are excellent sources of Vitamin D as the weather begins to cool off and for those winter days that are just too cold for a brisk walk. Before beginning any supplementation program it is important to consult with your Naturopathic Doctor.

KWC Staff Profile of the Month: Dr. Anne Bowness, D.C.

  Dr. Anne Bowness graduated in 1992 from the National College of Chiropractic in Chicago where she studied chiropractic and acupuncture. She practiced for 2 years in Chicago before returning to her home town of North Bay, where she owned and operated Body Back in Motion, a multidisciplinary rehabilitation clinic. After making the big move south, Dr. Bowness joined the King West team in November 2005.

Dr. Bowness’ unique approach combines the exercise component of her Phys Ed. Degree (from Queen’s University), her experience as a competitive kayaker, nutrition education, and her extensive experience and training in Orthopedics and Rehabilitation. Dr. Bowness is as comfortable working with complicated Athletic injuries as she is with simple headaches.

Patients find her caring and vibrant personality put them at ease very quickly. Dr. Bowness is a member of the Ontario Chiropractic Association and the Canadian Chiropractic Association.
