Orange County Chiropractors Making Their Patients Happy!

Patients who visit the Orange County chiropractors at the Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center often have great things to say about their treatments and the staff. Here's one of our most recent!

I am taking this opportunity to give a testimonial for Dr. TJ VanDusen with respect to ordering a particular supplement from his company.

I sent Dr. VanDusen an email asking if he carried a particular calcium supplement. He met with me after BNI on 7/6/10 with the supplement that he carried and showed me the differences between the product I asked for and the one that he carried. He had taken the product that I asked for and researched it and found a product that was better.

I was so impressed that he had taken the time to research a better product for me that I will be ordering all my supplements through Dr. VanDusen. I find that we just assume that any product we purchase from a doctor that we trust is the best one for us, but I have found that with Dr. VanDusen, he goes that extra mile for his patient to get the very best for them.

This is a doctor who cares very much for his patient.

Orange County Chiropractors Offering Treating Depression Tips

Depression is a serious health condition which affects millions of Americans yet most people don't realize that depression is often linked directly to poor health and vice versa. Not all areas of depression are understood but there have been significant advances in what we know about the disorder. Depression can be frustrating because recovering from it can take considerable time and generally speaking even those who want to get over their depression need help staying motivated and on the road recovery. Sometimes depression is treated with drugs and sometimes a psychotherapy. Other times medical professionals such as Orange County chiropractors will prescribe a change in lifestyle rather than costly medicine that can sometimes make the situation worse. The following is a list of things you can do to help stave off depression as well as manage it should you be depressed.

• Changes In Lifestyle - A change in lifestyle that includes regular exercise can have very beneficial effects in the prevention of depression returning and can help keep it at bay as well. Those already suffering from depression will find that regular exercise eases their anxieties, loneliness, and sadness.

• Dietary Changes - Not only should depressed individuals seek to eat better but they should also consume foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids. These acids occur naturally in fish oils, flax seeds, hence seeds, canola oils, and even walnuts. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids are effective as an antidepressant.

• Magnesium Treatments - Many recent studies have reported findings that demonstrate rapid recovery from major depression when using magnesium treatments. Other studies have found Ginkgo Biloba to be equally as effective as a natural antidepressant and it's been reported to stabilize cell membranes which inhibits lipid breakdowns and keep cells healthy. Evidence has also shown that herbal and dietary supplements can decrease depression. These are all very affordable ways of treating and avoiding depression and those interested in pursuing these types of treatment should speak with an Orange County chiropractor.

Orange County Chiropractor Offers Advice On Managing Stress

Stress is one of the major problems that adults face throughout their lifetime. Unmanaged stress can lead to a whole host of health issues including debilitating diseases and costly medical bills. There are ways however to manage even the most overbearing stress and stay healthy. The Orange County chiropractors at the Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center regularly treat patients for stress and teach them how to manage it to minimize damage. The following is a list of things that you can do in order to manage your stress and even remain stress free.

• Get Your Adrenals Tested - Having your adrenals tested by an Orange County chiropractor can help determine whether or not you have adrenal overload. Most Americans have adrenal overload and are in a constant state of stress simply because they're always in fight or flight mode. An Orange County chiropractor will be able to tell you what your adrenals are and can then formulate a program to help you manage those levels and reduce stress.

• Dietary Changes - The old adage that says you are what you eat accurately describes most Americans and the fact that so many Americans have problems with stress and the health issues related to it can in part be traced back to diets. Things like sugar, processed foods, caffeine, junk foods and carbs should be weened out of a diet when you're looking to manage your stress levels. An Orange County chiropractor can help you determine what should and shouldn't be a part of your diet so be sure to speak with one before you change your diet.

• Breathing - Breathing deep is a wonderful stress reducer and anyone looking to reduce their stress or manage it should remember to remain calm whenever possible and take deep soothing breaths. Breathing isn't difficult and we all know how to do it and in addition to that it's completely free so taking a moment for a few deep breaths every now and then can really reduce stress.
