I am sharing this blog from a medical doctor and life coach that I have known and respect very much. Here, she writes about the role of spirituality in healing and, I believe, overall wellbeing. That is no big surprise to many of you who understand the relationship between these, but perhaps we have not yet fully understood the full breadth and science supporting our implementation of spirituality as a part of bodily health and healing. Her blog may inspire further thought and dedication to the idea.

As both a physician and an integrative health and wellness coach, I have spent years studying what helps people heal. Throughout my medical training and professional career, I have relied on evidence-based medicine, neuroscience, psychology, and lifestyle medicine to better understand the human expe

Didn’t get this in time for April first…sharing now though.

NASA has just informed us Dr. Fuhr and the rest of the Artemis ii crew are officially heading back to Earth. They also sent us this unbelievable photo of the first ever Activator adjustment done in space. What a time to be alive! 🌍 🌚🚀

Of course this is in jest, but seriously, a reminder to use good technique when shoveling out today. Break the big job into smaller periods with rest and stretching between them.

For some, hiring out the job is the wisest course of action. Do you know who you are?

Expanded information below…

Shovel snow early and often, ideally while it is still powdery, to avoid lifting heavy, wet, or packed snow.

Prioritize pushing the snow rather than lifting it to prevent back injury, using a ergonomic or smaller shovel.

Lift with your legs, not your back, and take frequent breaks, switching sides to avoid muscle strain.

Safe Shoveling Techniques
Prevent Sticky Snow: Spray your shovel blade with cooking spray or wax to prevent wet snow from sticking.

Use Proper Tools: Choose a plow-style or ergonomic shovel with a D-shaped handle for better control and less strain.

Protect Your Back: Bend at the knees, not the waist, and lift with your legs while keeping the shovel close to your body.

Don't Twist: Avoid twisting your body; turn your feet to move the snow instead.

Walk Like a Penguin: Take short, shuffling steps on slippery surfaces to avoid falling.

Layer Up: Wear layers to keep muscles warm, but avoid overheating.

Strategies and Tricks

Push, Don't Lift: Push snow into piles at the edge of your driveway rather than lifting it.

Divide and Conquer: For deep snow, skim it in layers rather than trying to move the full depth at once.

Shovel in Sections: If the driveway is wide, shovel a line down the middle and move snow to the edges.
Break Up Ice: Turn the shovel backward to chop stubborn, thin ice.
Use Sand or Salt: Apply kitty litter, sand, or salt to prevent slipping and help melt ice.

Use a Leaf Blower: For light, fluffy snow, a leaf blower can clear areas faster than a shovel.

Clear Vehicles Carefully: Use a brush for the roof to avoid scratches and clear 2 feet around the car.

Health Safety

Warm Up: Stretch your arms, legs, and back before starting.

Take Breaks: Rest every 15–20 minutes to avoid overexertion.

Listen to Your Body: Stop immediately if you feel pain, chest discomfort, or extreme fatigue.

Hydrate: Drink water, just as you would during a workout.

Dear patient of Levin and Chellen Chiropractic,

Maybe we haven’t seen you in a while, so we want to check in.

Many people stop care not because their issues are fully resolved, but because life gets busy, symptoms quiet down, or discomfort slowly becomes the “new normal.” Neck stiffness, low back tension, headaches, limited movement, poor sleep — these are easy to ignore, until they’re not.

If you’ve been putting something off, now is a good time to take another look at it. Even if you’re feeling “mostly fine,” chiropractic care isn’t only for pain. Many of our established patients choose periodic visits for maintenance and wellness — to keep their joints moving smoothly, manage stress on the nervous system, and prevent small problems from becoming big ones.

There’s no obligation and no pressure. This is simply an invitation to take care of yourself before your body forces the issue.

If you’d like to schedule a visit, or if you have questions about whether care makes sense right now, we are happy to help. Just give us a call when you’re ready.

You’ve trusted us with your health before. We’re here for you.

Warm regards,�
