DO YOU HAVE THE LUCK OF THE IRISH?

Don’t count on it to protect you from a car accident this St. Patrick’s Day! As the 4th most popular drinking holiday after New Year’s, Christmas, and the 4th of July, St. Patrick’s Day is known for its alcohol-based parties—and alcohol-related car accidents. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that anywhere from 25 to 40 percent of fatal crashes on St. Patrick’s Day are caused by drunk driving. And this year, St. Patrick’s Day is on a Sunday in the middle of March Madness, so there may be even more drunk drivers on the road. What can you do to lesson your risk of being in an accident this March 17th?

  1. Drink your green beer or Irish whiskey at home. If you do go out, be aware that lethal drunk driving accidents are three times more likely to occur at night when visibility is low and other motorists have had more time to get drunk themselves. Consider partying during the day and calling it an early night—or take the party home when the sun goes down. At the very least, be home by midnight.
  2. Don’t drink. If you choose to be the designated driver for your friends, stick with your decision. Many times, designated drivers opt to have a drink anyway. Don’t be that person!
  3. If you do drink away from home, know your limits. For a woman, it’s not advisable to drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages in succession. For a man, the number is 5. But remember, these are averages. The majority of people who drive drunk don’t exceed the legal alcohol limit by much, and they often don’t even recognize that they are drunk. If you feel buzzed, you’re considered drunk in the eyes of the law. And while you’re at it, keep an eye on your friends. They may think they’re perfectly fine to get behind the wheel, but if they’re buzzed, don’t let them!
  4. Make a plan in advance. One of the most common reasons drunk motorists end up on the road is lack of planning. Will you take a bus, cab, or Uber to the bar or party? Or will you have a designated driver? If you do drive yourself, surrender your keys to a trusted friend who will keep them from you if they think you’ve had too much. You also might consider booking a hotel room or planning to stay with a friend or relative who will pick you up at the end of the night. FYI, if you find yourself drunk and away from home without a plan, you can use UBER or LYFT to book a ride.
  5. While you’re at it, pick your route to travel to and from the festivities. Choose less traveled roads. Fewer cars means fewer chances of an accident.

Whether you drink or not on St. Patrick’s Day, use extra caution if you’re on the roads. Make sure your seatbelt is buckled, stick to the speed limit, and drive defensively. For example, drunk drivers tend to drift over lane lines, so stay as close to the right side of your lane as you can to avoid a head-on collision or being sideswiped. Keep extra distance between your car and others. Never assume you know what another driver is going to do. Be prepared for the unexpected.

If you do end up in a car accident this St. Patrick’s Day, come on in to Millville Chiropractic Center, and we will help you get back to your old self again as quickly as possible. Have a happy St. Patrick’s Day, stay safe, and remember, we’re here for you!

Unlocking Wellness: How Chiropractic Care Helps You Live Pain-Free 


Are you tired of living with persistent pain that hinders your daily activities? Have you been seeking a natural, drug-free approach to alleviate discomfort and regain control of your life? If so, chiropractic care might be the solution you've been searching for. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers who primarily specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, providing relief from pain and promoting overall wellness through holistic methods. Let's delve into the basics of chiropractic care and how it can help you reclaim a healthier, pain-free life.

At the core of chiropractic philosophy is that proper alignment of the spine and musculoskeletal system is essential for optimal health and well-being. Chiropractors employ a variety of techniques to assess and address misalignments, or subluxations, that may be causing pain or dysfunction in the body.

The first step in your journey to wellness with a chiropractor typically involves a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, lifestyle factors, and specific symptoms. This holistic approach allows the chiropractor to gain a thorough understanding of your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to address your concerns.

Central to chiropractic care are spinal adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, which involve applying precise, controlled force to misaligned vertebrae to restore proper alignment and function. Through gentle yet effective adjustments, chiropractors can alleviate pressure on nerves, reduce inflammation, and promote the body's natural ability to heal itself.

In addition to spinal adjustments, many chiropractors may incorporate other therapeutic modalities into your treatment plan to enhance results and support overall wellness. These may include:

  • Soft tissue therapy: Techniques such as massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy can help alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance mobility.

  • Therapeutic exercises: Chiropractors may prescribe specific exercises and stretches to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and promote proper posture, complementing the effects of spinal adjustments.

  • Lifestyle modifications: Depending on the chiropractor and location of their practice, they may be able to additionally offer guidance on various things including ergonomics, nutrition, exercise, and stress management strategies to support your overall health and prevent future injuries or pain flare-ups.

  • Education and empowerment: One of the hallmarks of chiropractic care is patient education. Chiropractors empower you with knowledge about your body and how to take an active role in your health and well-being, equipping you with the tools you need to live a vibrant, pain-free life.


Whether you're suffering from back pain, neck pain, headaches, or joint discomfort, chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive approach to addressing a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. By addressing the root cause of your pain and promoting natural healing from within, chiropractors help you not only alleviate symptoms but also improve your overall quality of life.

It's important to note that chiropractic care is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and outcomes may vary depending on factors such as the severity of your condition, your overall health status, and your commitment to following your chiropractor's recommendations. However, many patients experience significant relief and improved function after undergoing chiropractic treatment.

If you're ready to break free from the grip of pain and reclaim your vitality, consider exploring the benefits of chiropractic care. By restoring proper alignment, relieving pressure on nerves, and promoting holistic wellness, chiropractors help you get back to doing the things you love with greater comfort and ease. Take the first step towards a healthier, pain-free life today by scheduling a consultation with our office today!

Too Much Food Variety in Your Diet Can Lead to Unhealthy Eating

The American Heart Association (AHA) is now questioning the assumption that eating a diverse array of foods is good for your health. This has been a diet recommendation for years, but doctors and nutritionists don’t agree on what an "array" or "variety" of food means. In fact, including a wide variety of food in your diet may actually be unhealthy. According to new studies, diversity in food choices is tied to poor diet, including eating refined sugars and grains, processed food, and sugar-laden drinks. Doctors once recommended getting a variety of food in your diet because it helps you get all the vitamins and nutrients you need. However, with the rise of cheap junk food and its availability, people are confusing variety with quality. The AHA Behavioral Change for Improving Health Factors Committee reviewed fairly recent studies on the topic of food variety in the diet, including its impact on obesity and eating patterns. Overall, they came to the conclusion that diversity in the diet doesn't necessarily connect to healthy habits. In fact, they discovered evidence suggesting that eating a wider variety of foods is tied to eating more food in general, poor eating habits, and gaining weight. Instead, researchers promote eating a large variety of healthy foods, including whole grains, veggies, and fruits.

ADHD May Be on the Rise in U.S. Children

According to a new study published in JAMA Network Open, diagnoses of children with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) have increased significantly since 1997. Researchers found that the diagnosis rate for children with ADHD increased from 6.1% in 1997 to 10.2% in 2016. However, according to Dr. Wei Bao, there could be lots of reasons for this dramatic rise. For example, doctors are much better at diagnosing ADHD than they were 20 years ago. Dr. Bao also said that more people today are aware of the condition and its symptoms, which can lead to more kids getting screened and subsequently diagnosed. Bao and his fellows are researchers at the College of Public Health at the University of Iowa. They came to their conclusions by reviewing the National Health Interview Survey over 20 years. In particular, they honed in on answers to one question: Whether survey-takers' children had ever been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD (attention-deficit disorder). For scope, the most recent iteration of the survey from 2015-2016 collected data on over 18,000 children from age 4-17. Of that number, nearly 2,000 received an ADHD diagnosis. Though the research results are startling, experts advise parents and doctors to take the increase in children with ADHD with a grain of salt. This is because ADHD is commonly misdiagnosed.
