- Happy New Year 2012 from Dr. Engen and the staff at the NE. Kinesiology Center at Kearney Chiropractic Clinic. We wish you all nothing but health and success in the new year. Knowing that your health is your most important asset, we strive to stay on the forefront of all the therapies available for you; even the ones that we do not administer. Thank you for placing your confidence in our care for you. For that reason, Dr. Engen recently got re-certified in clinical nutrition, to go along with his certifications in Applied Kinesiology, clinical neurology, and sports performance enhancement.
- We are fast becoming a sedontary society, and many of our diseases come from lack of activity. Just walking a 1/2 hour a day can help reduce your chances for getting diabetes, dementia, cardio-vascular disease, colon problems, and many others. Remember, your heart only pumps blood away from itself; your skeletal muscles have to pump the blood back to your heart ! If you are housebound, try doing movement exercises in your chair for 5 min. out of every waking hour; it can only help !
- Regular 2012 office hours here a NKC/KCC are: 8:30-12 and 1:30-5 Mon, Tues, Thurs., 8:30am-12 on Fridays (Wed. am. on call/out). Usually on the weeks where there is a Monday holiday, we are open that week on Wed. am. Call us at: 1-800-863-9347
Welcome Spring! The word of the day after New Year's Day is "what a mild winter" ! We see people running around outside with no coats on in 30-40 degree weather like it is summer; which it is NOT. Cold compromises your immune system making you more vulnerable to picking up an infection once you get back inside. Best to dress in layers, with the outer layer being both warm and wind resistant without being bulky. Keep well hydrated to keep your membranes moist and healthy. When a slip or fall happens, even if you don't think you are injured, call us for an AK-NMS check-up, which you can only get at the NE. Kinesiology Center at KCC, here in s.central NE. (NMS = neuro-musculo-skeletal). Call 1-800-863-9347.
About 30% indoor humidity will help keep you comfortable. Try placing a jug of water behind your couch to evaporate, if you don't have a humidifier. Also, using a good body lotion after your bath/shower can help keep your skin from drying out. It is your largest and most protective organ system, and needs daily attention too. If you are or have been a patient here, don't forget to return for periodic NMS check-ups semi-annually, and we appreciate and are grateful for your new pt. referrals!
In the winter, 1000 IU of vit. D3 per day is usually sufficient, as the sun's rays are too weak in NE to activate your bodies own vit. D. We've seen toxic symptoms in some folks who are taking up to 50,000 IU of D once a week, and we don't recommend it. Around 3800 IU/day is considered the max. safe dose, and that much is usually not needed daily, according to the experts. Do you have environmental sensitivities; we can help you identify them.

Whether you have your insurance deductible met for the year or not, consider getting that nagging pain or disability checked out here. Even if you don't have insurance, you will find our exams and care plans very affordable and among the best in health care values. Because injuries are usually unexpected, we offer financing arrangements through Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Because only about 10% of your nerves transmit pain, you can have real problems after an injury without serious pain along with it. Call us at 800-863-9347 for a check-up; don't delay. ps: If you have a high deductible insurance plan, along with an HSA spending account, our services should be deductible to you through your HSA, according to recent review.
