Hi Everybody This Is Dr. Norris.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and Happy, Happy, Happy. I think that covers everyone. As I write this newsletter I am listening to holiday songs on the radio and it is cold outside. Anyway here is some year-end trivia and reminders.
CHRISTMAS TRIVIA
- A traditional Christmas dinner in early England was the head of a pig prepared with mustard.
- Alabama was the first state to recognize Christmas as an official holiday. This tradition began in 1836.
- During the Christmas/Hanukkah season, more than 1.76 billion candy canes will be made.
- Hallmark introduced its first Christmas cards in 1915, five years after the founding of the company.
- In France, Christmas is called Noel. This is derived from the French phrase "les bonnes nouvelles," which means literally "the good news" and refers to the gospel.
- More than three billion Christmas cards are sent annually in the United States.
During the weeks of Christmas and New Years Norris Chiropractic will be closed on Thursday, Friday and the weekend. We will be open regular hours for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
MONTHLY REMINDER
One of the more frequent questions I get from patients is "When should I come in again to have my spine checked? Remember you are in charge of your own health. So if you are in pain call right away because waiting delays the healing process and can often take longer for symptoms to resolve. If you are not in pain I recommend doing a self assessment each month when you get this newsletter. Do you feel out of balance, are you feeling stiffness or tightness, or are you just moving slower? These are signs it may be time for a spinal check.
As always if you or someone you care about
is suffering, I'm here to help.
Because you don't have time for pain!
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Norris

HEALTH TIP:
Be Careful With The Leftovers
It is estimated that 400,000 people become sick each year from eating tainted Christmas leftovers. If it looks or smells questionable throw it out. Better to be safer than sorry.
