The Glens Falls Hospital has launched a new health campaign just in time for swimsuit season!

The Health Promotion Center of Glens Falls Hospital started 'Good Move' this week -- a campaign focused on encouraging the community to take proactive steps toward good health by making one 'Good Move' at a time.

The goal of the program is to help individuals and families make healthier eating choices, increase activity and use preventative care.  Beginning this week, posters, billboards and messaging will be placed throughout the Glens Falls community carrying various healthy ideas for everyday life.

Some of the healthy suggestions are:

  •  snacking on a piece of fruit
  •  exploring a nearby park
  •  visiting a local farmer's market for fresh produce
  •  and talking to your doctor about healthy choices that are right for you and your family.

spineOur community welcomes a new chiropractor to the area! Dr. Jeff Sawyer joined Tackett Chiropractic Center in Queensbury, NY just a few months ago on January 2, 2013.

 We thought we'd pick Dr. Sawyer's brain for some advice, tips and insight from an expert. If you are suffering from chronic pain -- whether it's your back, neck, joints, muscles or other ailment -- find out what Dr. Sawyer has to say!

What kinds of ailments can a chiropractic visit help?

Chiropractic Adjustments treats the spine and nervous system. Your spine houses your spinal cord, which is the communication center between your brain and body. Over time, from poor posture, trauma and everyday wear and tear, you lose mobility causing restrictions or areas of decreased motion in the spine. This doesn't allow for proper biomechanical function, causing pressure on the nerves exiting the spine, going to every organ, muscle and tissue of your body. The pressure on the nerves causes interference, like static on a cell phone, and information is mixed up or lost. Chiropractic adjustments relieve the pressure on the nerves and allow your brain to communicate with your body clearly.


How long does an average session last?


Typically, the initial visit, which consists of a thorough history, comprehensive exam and X-rays if needed, takes about 40 minutes. Every visit from there on out takes about 15-20 minutes, case depending.


What are some common things you hear from your patients after a chiropractic session?


"I wish I had done this a long time ago."
