Long Life. A Sign of what is to come as long as we keep moving. Don’t stop moving. Cummins Chiropactic is here to help you be able to show up and move in your life!

“Your body is a reflection of your lifestyle.”
Outwardly, this is obvious to us. Bodybuilders are easily recognized, as are yogis and other athletes. Even when we observe those who meticulously groom themselves or those who decline to subscribe to grooming standards, there is a “lifestyle” and values associated with the behavior. We are creatures of habit, as they say, and what we choose on a daily basis affects our long-term outcomes, even if the effects aren’t outwardly apparent.
Continual chiropractic adjustments have already been shown many times to increase health due to the ability to increase positive neuroplasticity.1 “In the past ten years, researchers have objectively demonstrated that spinal adjustments can change aspects of nervous system function including muscle reflexes, reaction time and the speed at which the brain processes information.” Chiropractic Lifestyle Care ensures your body’s potential to experience your longevity with a nerve system that is continually optimized.
Across all health platforms, research has continually supported the importance of lifestyles and habits that foster health, instead of those that foster inactivity, disease and negative neuroplasticity, loss of brain function.2,3 When it comes to exercise, research published in the journal Frontier in Aging Neuroscience revealed that endurance runners who skipped workouts for 10 days had reductions in blood flow to their brain.4 Just like we cannot expect to eat healthy for one week and expect those effects to last a lifetime, we cannot expect to receive chiropractic care for a few visits or a couple of weeks and expect our nervous system to be optimized for the rest of our lives, especially in the high-stress world we live in today.
The 100 Year Lifestyle is about developing and nurturing habits that will ensure your health through your 100th birthday and more. Abandoning the consistent care of your spine and nervous system as a part of your lifestyle can result in a return to what has become known as the “standard” aging process. The brain and nerve system is like the rest of your body: when you don’t use it consistently, it assumes you have no more need for these abilities. Therefore, the body uses energy elsewhere, allowing the ill-used brain to atrophy and shrink. Due to this physiological adaptation, the normal aging adult experiences a decline in information processing speed in the brain, affecting all nervous system processes, including, but not limited to, motor function, joint function, memory, cognitive quickness and slowed autonomic responses to homeostatic changes.3
Instead of allowing the nervous system to stagnate, lose speed and function, utilize chiropractic Lifestyle Care to keep your spine and nervous system well adjusted. You will enjoy the benefits of the care today and you will appreciate them even more as you age.

Warning Against Distracted Driving

Seattle Times journalist Mike Lindblowm wrote a worthy article on distracted driving January 1st, 2017.
Seattle Times journalist Mike Lindblowm wrote a worthy article on distracted driving January 1st, 2017.

We already know our traffic can be terrible along 405 in Bellevue and across the I-90 bridge in Seattle, that auto accidents occur at times – that’s why they are called accidents.  However, don’t let your cell phone suck you into distracted driving.
Check out the statistics released in the latest article by Mike Lindblom from the Seattle Times on January 1st, 2017.  In Washington state, “distracted-driving deaths jumped from 130 in 2014 to 171 in 2015, nearly a third of the overall 556 traffic fatalities in 2016.”  Deaths.  That is the end.  No second chances here friends.  Check out the full article here. 
“I get that you didn’t mean to kill my son, but you did mean to pick up your cellphone and look at it. You made a choice, just like a drunk driver, you chose to get in a vehicle and drive it,” said the mother of 23 year old Cody Meyer who was a construction flagger killed by a distracted driver last December outside of Issaquah.

Chiropractic can help after a Car Accident…. but only if you make it home alive

We see many patients who have suffered from car accident injuries and are so glad to be able to bring them back to their passions they enjoyed before their crash: back to work, lifting grand kids, sleeping without pain, hiking the Wonderland trail, cycling around Lake Washington.  We have the honor of helping people back to gold medal health.  But, as Dr. Cummins has said many times to his patients, “there are limitations of matter.”  When there is an accident and you get sent to the hospital for life or death injuries, you’ll never have the chance to see a great chiropractor to help with whip-lash as some people don’t make it out alive.

Top 5 Attentive Driving Tips

Don’t put yourself, your children, or our neighbors on the road at risk by driving distracted.  Check out these five tips focused on cell phone use to help keep accidents at bay and when the new stricter distracted driving state laws are passed, you will be ready.
1. Make a rule: NEVER text, game or email while driving.
2. Set your Pandora station or NPR one ap to play your favorite tunes or talk before you pull out of the park.  Then drive and enjoy!
3. Set your phone out of reach to avoid distraction if you are teaching yourself a new habit of “no car phone”.  This will help you make the transition to not relying on your phone while driving.
4. Give yourself a goal and a reward for adapting this new and lifesaving behavior.  For example, say for the next 14 days, you won’t look at your phone even at stop lights while driving.  If you “win”, buy yourself a new iphone case or some great meat from the Newcastle B&E Meat market.  Find something that motivates you to change!
5. When you do hear a ring or a ding or a sign that there is something waiting for you on your phone while driving, ask yourself “Can it wait?” Then, tell yourself, “Yes, it can wait.”  Because, what text or update or thought can’t be put off for a few minutes?  If it really is important, exit or pull over.
