10-Minute Meditation For Better Focus
Does meditation improve focus?
Does meditation improve focus? A new study found that only 10 minutes of mindfulness meditation can provide measurable benefits in focus and productivity. The study involved 82 “highly anxious” college students and assigned them to a computer task that required sustained attention.
The students were then randomly assigned to a 10-minute meditation exercise or to a control group that did not meditate. The students assigned to the meditation group were able to shift their attention from their internal worries so that they could better focus on the task at hand.
This new study demonstrated how quickly and effectively a 10-minute meditation can help banish distracting worries that get in your way.

Chiropractic Care Decreases Lower Back Surgery
Can chiropractic care reduce the chances of low back surgery?
Research supports chiropractic spinal manipulation is effective for treating low back pain, yet until recently there has been limited research exploring whether chiropractic care is associated with a reduction in spine surgery.
A recently published study found adults who initially received chiropractic care for low back pain caused by disc herniation or sciatica were less likely to undergo disc surgery through two years’ follow-up. If you or a family member are suffering from low back pain, chiropractic care can potentially reduce your chances of surgery, help you to restore mobility, alleviate physical pain, and positively impact your quality of life.
