Sometimes the brain needs a little time-out.

Diaphragmatic or Belly Breathing

Dr. Kathleen Sherwood — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 04:04:35 +0000

Before you can take a deep breath “in”, you have to give one away “out”. Because, when you’ve been breathing in a short, shallow manner (from your chest), if you try & take a deep inhale, you just can’t do it. All you can do is take a more labored, shallow breath from your chest. That will give you all the air you need, but it won’t feel “good”.
Breathe very shallowly a few times, and then try to take a deep breath. When you breathe in this shallow manner, you get all the air you need to live, but you can also get other symptoms which contribute to a panic attack.

Run Your Best with Chiropractic

As a chiropractor and avid runner, I’m constantly asked by patients – and prospective patients – how chiropractic Spinecare can help maximize athletic performance and minimize injury. My response is that without chiropractic care, it is virtually impossible to be the best runner you can be. I experienced this personally over years of running, prior to having my own spine adjusted, and Dr. Sherwood and I have witnessed it first-hand with numerous patients who comment on how much better they run once they receive chiropractic care.
