Healing Hands Closing

As most of you are aware – it has been over 8 years now since I was diagnosed and started treatment for Chronic Lyme Disease. Unfortunately, treatment has been a long, arduous, and expensive battle for me and my family.

I have found as each year passes- my health is more negatively impacted by the long, cold winters here in New England.

For the past couple of years, my husband Brian and I have tried to find another doctor to come on board to help. We came close. But, the doctor we had found ( who we felt was a perfect fit)  had decided it was best to not move forward with a move to New Hampshire once the shutdown in March 2020 happened.

With my mother passing a couple of months back,  Brian and I decided it was time for a drastic change for our family. We are moving to South Carolina in the new year. Thursday, January 13, 2022, will be my last shift at Healing Hands Chiropractic.

I am working on putting together a list of other practitioners in the area for you. I will send that in another email soon.

It has been an honor to serve the Greater Manchester community for the past 17 years. I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to treat each and every one of you.

This has not been an easy decision by any means. But, this illness has brought me to my knees both physically and figuratively. And, this move is my family’s Hail Mary ( for all you Doug Flutie fans).

One Love,

Dr. Jess (and Brian & Jackson Caruso)

How Much Water Should I Be Drinking?

One of the most common questions we get is “how much water should I be drinking a day?” As with any medical question, it usually is answered with “it depends”.  A hard and fast rule that we tell our valued patients is :

Drink one half of your body weight in ounces each day.

That means if you weigh 120 pounds, you should be drinking, on average, 60 ounces of water per day.

The usual follow up question is “why?”.

Your intervertebral discs are mostly made up of water and its job is to act as shock absorbers for the vertebrae. Without proper hydration, disc degeneration can occur and may cause various back problems.

In addition, see the infographic below for other health benefits of drinking the proper amount of water each day.

Heat or Ice an Injury?

The most common problem we see with new patients is that they are using heat for an acute injury as opposed to ice.  So we’ve adapted a quick cheat sheet from the Cleveland Clinic for you to print out and post to your fridge.  The quick and dirty rule is: when in doubt, ice.  Using heat for new injuries will increase inflammation and delay healing.
