Stop Smoking

The health risks associated with smoking and other forms of tobacco use are well known. And, because of the recuperative capacity of the body, once you stop this detrimental habit, many of the negative health consequences can be reversed with time.

Most people who smoke would like to quit. Here’s what happens after the last cigarette:

30 minutes - Resting pulse and blood pressure return to near normal.

8 hours - Carbon monoxide levels in blood are reduced by half. Oxygen levels in the blood return to near normal.

24 hours - Lungs begin to clear.

48 hours - Nicotine no longer remains in the body. Ability to taste and smell improve.

Dr. Tom Asks some important questions of interest to Auburn residents - Chiropractor Auburn Dr. Tom Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Auburn residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
