This "life force energy" that flows through the body, known as Ki (pronounced key) is responsible for illness when it is not flowing properly. Fatigue is one such blockage problem that can be successfully treated with Acupuncture. Whether a person subscribes to a Western definition of Acupuncture helping due to a release of endorphins in the brain, or the Eastern thinking that has Ki now flowing freely through the body's meridians -- what's most important is that Acupuncture helps the condition. Mainly, I think we are stretched too thin, over taxing our energy resources, or draining our batteries. Source: Hormones, Health, and Happiness, by Steven F.

KEEP ON YOUR TOES WITH CHIROPRACTIC A trained athlete must bring many traits and skills to the game including excellent conditioning, coordination, speed, and quickness. One item that may be overlooked in one's training that could be vital to success is reaction time. A person's ability to react quickly in the heat of a contest could have everything to do with whether or not he or his team wins. Now comes very good news that Chiropractic adjustments can have a positive effect on this much needed ability. Not only does the potential for improved reactions apply to the playing field, but it could be a valuable skill to have in other areas of life as well. The implications are far reaching. Imagine the benefit to the athlete who depends on reaction times in order to perform at a competitive level. Imagine also the benefits of being able to react more quickly to traffic situations or any other crisis life might dish out.
