B12 injections in The Villages, FL
Vitamin B12 is a surprisingly necessary vitamin.
Vitamin B12 has so many positive effects on the body that we would never even think of. For instance, it is crucial in developing new red blood cells and preventing anemia. It also supports the normal function of your nerve cells and is needed for DNA synthesis. That’s a lot to ask of a vitamin, but it does much more!
B12 also…
- Helps prevent major birth defects
- Supports bone health and may prevent osteoporosis
- Reduces risk of macular degeneration
- May improve mood and symptoms of depression
- Prevents the loss of neurons, benefitting your brain
- May give you an energy boost
- Could improve heart health
- Supports healthy hair, skin and nails
Is there anything else you could ask for? We didn’t think so either. Unfortunately, studies have shown that about 6% of the people in the US are deficient in this vitamin and around 20% are borderline low. Think about all this vitamin does and then think of what happens when you don’t have enough.
So what can you do if you think you might be low or defeicient? Well, luckily, we have options. B12 is now offered in injectable form so that your body can get the most use out of it. While B12 has shown no signs of danger from overuse, you should consult with your physician if you have any concerns.
B12 can not be made naturally by our bodies. It is only found in animal products, therefore those on a strict vegan diet nay be low even with certain foods being fortified with the vitamin. Other reasons include: bariatric surgery or bowel resection, age, those with GI diseases such as Crohn’s and Celiac, people taking Metformin to control their blood sugar and thos taking proton pump inhibitors (Prevacid, Prilosec, etc) for chronic heartburn.

Chiropractic is 124 Years Old Today!
And doesn’t look a day over 80!!!
September 18th, 1895: The Greatest Day in American Heath Care, EVER!
September 18th is Chiropractic’s birthday. The only healthcare model exclusively developed in the United States of America, has always presented a change from the status quo. In direct competition with drug companies and the Medical Model, it came into this world as an unwanted model of healthcare from the AMA, medical doctors and drug companies.
In fact, the AMA, in a Supreme Court decision in 1989, admitted to using negative propaganda, and slander about the effectiveness, safety and training of chiropractors. The AMA also admitted to have a Committee within the organization whose sole purpose was to influence the decision of medical doctors to not to refer to chiropractors and to carry out this slander. After reviewing all the facts, clinical trials, safety records, and training the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Chiropractic and mandated the Medical doctors and the AMA start referring to Chiropractors, and to have an open door policy. After 10 years of practice, I’m still waiting for that door.
So, with all this negative publicity, and with the most powerful industry against chiropractic, how did it survive now to be the most frequented health care profession in our country?
Chiropractic’s incredibly safe record (chiropractic malpractice is about the cost of car insurance compared to six figure malpractice for the same coverage for medical doctors) and undeniable results has contributed to the amazing growth people being adjusted since 1895.
Recently, the medical journal: JMPT published a study that analyzed data from health comparisons between those who utilize a wellness oriented chiropractor as their Primary Care Physician and those who’s PCP practice a conventional Medical Model. Here are the findings:
Chiropractic/wellness patients had 60.2% fewer hospital admissions, 59% less days hospitalized, 62% less outpatient surgeries, and 85% less pharmaceutical costs (AMAZING!).
The same journal published the findings of 311 chiropractic patients, ages 65 and older, who had received “maintenance chiropractic care” for five or longer. What they found when they compared with citizens their own age:
- Chiropractic patients spent only 31% of the national average for health care
- They had 50% less medical provider visits
- Their health habits were radically better than overall population
- They had far less cigarette consumption
- 5% believed that care to be considerably and extremely valuable
Another recent study in the medical journal: Spine, 2007:32 states: Spinal problems reduce quality of life, decrease mobility, lower longevity (lifespan) and increase the risk of coronary artery disease.
124 years after its birth, the unwanted model of health care is radically improving lives, transforming the way people live, saving lives, and adding years to life.

Pelvic Strength Exercises
Pelvis Strengthening Exercises
Beginner:
Squat:
- Start with your feet approximately shoulder/hip width apart, toes slightly pointed outwards.
- Keeping your abdominals and core tight, sit your butt backwards as though you are sitting in a small chair behind you.
- Once your hips are just below your knees, use your glutes to push yourself up to the standing position. This is one rep.
- Keep knees over your ankles, do not allow them to track over. Keep weight over your heels, no weight over the toes.
Repeat 10x, 2x/ day
Clam shells:
- Start lying on the floor on one side with your legs bent at around 90 degrees at the knees. Angle your thighs from your body at around 135 degrees. Shoulders, hips, and feet stay in alignment.
- Keeping your hips stacked vertically on top of each other, hinge at the hip to bring the knee of your top leg up, opening your legs like a clamshell.
- Keep the heels touching each other, and squeeze the glutes to drive the movement. It’s very important not to let your pelvis roll backwards as you raise your upper leg.
- Use your free arm and place your hand on your upper glutes, so you can feel the glute muscles working throughout the exercise. This kind of ‘palpating’ for muscles working can actually increase the amount of muscle recruitment and activation.
Repeat 10x, 2x/ day
Pelvis Strengthening Exercises
Intermediate:
Lunges:
- Start standing upright with feet together, and core muscles engaged.
- Keeping the left leg straight the whole time, take a large step out to the side with your right leg, bending at the knee.
- Sit your hips back and push your butt out behind you as your right knee bends, as if you were sitting in a chair.
- Pushing through your right heel, drive up as you engage your glutes to push up out of the lunge and return to the starting position. This is one rep.
- Repeat on the same side, or alternate sides (your preference) for the desired number of sets and reps.
10x, 2x/day
Side Lunge:
- Start standing upright with feet together, and core muscles engaged.
- Keeping the left leg straight the whole time, take a large step out to the side with your right leg, bending at the knee.
- Sit your hips back and push your butt out behind you as your right knee bends, as if you were sitting in a chair.
- Pushing through your right heel, drive up as you engage your glutes to push up out of the lunge and return to the starting position. This is one rep.
10x, 2x/day
Pelvis Strengthening Exercises
Advanced
| Bridge:
1. Start lying on your back on the floor, with your knees bent and your feet flat at shoulder with apart about a foot or so away from your butt. 2. With your knees apart and without actually moving them, imagine squeezing an imaginary ball between your knees. Hold this for the entire exercise, as this can help activate your glutes. 3. Clench your butt cheeks tightly together, and squeeze hard for the whole exercise. 4. Keeping your core tight, drive strongly through the heels of your feet to drive your hips up in the air. 5. Lower back down to the starting position, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions. 10x, 2x/day |
 |
| Bird/ Dog
1. Begin on all fours with your hands directly underneath your shoulders and knees directly below hips. 2. Engaging your core, bring the spine into a neutral position (straight back – neither arched, nor hunched over). 3. With control, raise your right arm straight out in front of you, and at the same time, extend you left leg out straight behind you. 4. Hold at the top of the motion and give you glutes a little squeeze to get your leg as high as it will go. 5. Lower back to the starting position, and repeat with the opposite leg and arm. 10x, 2x/ day |
 |
| Fire Hydrant
1. Engage your core muscles so that your spine is in a neutral position, neither arched or hunched excessively. 2. Keeping the right leg bent 90 degrees at the knee, rotate at the hip in order to lift your outer right thigh up in an arcing motion out to the right side of your body. You want to aim to get your thigh parallel with the ground (out at 90 degrees to your supporting left leg), however, this can require some flexibility. 3. Most people have a limited range of motion in their hip joints, so this is not only a great hip-opener and mobility exercise, it also works the butt and core stabilizing muscles. 4. Squeeze the glutes to hold your leg in the cocked position for 1 second or more, and then lower back down. 5. Repeat with the other leg. 10x, 2x/ day |
 |
Resisted Knee Raise1. Secure the ankle strap around your active ankle and stand 3 to 4 feet away from the door with your back to the door. 2. Position your body with your active leg back and far enough away from the door so that the band(s) are starting to stretch. 3. Keep your back straight, chest up, head straight and stomach tight. 4. Bring your active leg up and forward until your knee is at hip height. 10x, 2x/ day |
