Q: When I was 20 years old, I made the mistake of getting a tattoo on my ankle. I am now 31 and in the corporate world. When I wear dresses, I have to hide it with make-up and I am hoping there is a means of removing it. Help! today's y p y seem to Q: DeargDoctor: Inon stress.fast paced society I expectedbe be losing the `war' The holidays are p y to a time of j y and p joy peace, but the shopping, the p pp g parties, the g gatherings and the commitments added to the everyday necessig ties are wearing me out!! How do I deal with it??? Patient: effects stress on our bodies A: Dearour lives in Few of us are free from the true notofonly during the busy and today's society. This holds most tattoos. Depending upon the colour and location, most tattoos can successfully be removed with little or no tell-tale signs. Recently, there have been advancements in laser technology and most colours can be successfully removed however, very few clinics offer all technologies to removal all colours. A: With laser technology, we are able to remove holiday season but each and every day as we try to manage work, home, children, schedules and the list goes on!! The key to winning the `war' on stress is to understand how to manage it!! Here are three steps that will help: Understand and acknowledge that stress will come. KNOW YOUR "HOT BUTTONS" and who/what pushes them. So why stress out about something you know is going to happen? Sounds easy enough. Take 10 minutes at night to organize the things that must get done the next day. Don't make your list too long or vague. Be reasonable in what you can achieve in one day. Stick to it!! Finally, proceed through each day with quiet confidence and humility. Proactively setting goals and completing them is very helpful in decreasing stress. Staying focused is a necessity. Studies show that the inability to handle stress is a major cause of headaches, neck pain and lower back pain. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and think it may be stress related.....see your doctor of chiropractic. He can offer other helpful hints to reduce those stress levels and maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle. Your health is important to us. Call the office today for your free consultation.
