Advantages of Roadside Assistance | J & J Towing

Everyone has seen unfortunate drivers who become stranded on the side of the road when something goes wrong with their vehicle. While nobody anticipates this happening to them, it is something that can occur when it’s least expected. Fortunately if it does, professional roadside assistance through J&J’s Towing is here to help. Some of the advantages of calling a professional service rather than having a friend do the towing include:

  1.  Safety

Calling friends and family might be a great way to get support, but very few individuals actually have the tools that are needed to safely tow a vehicle. Not to mention if they don’t know what they are doing, they could end up causing more damage that what you started with. If you want things done the safe when, then having a professional help you is always the way to go. You’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing your vehicle is being towed properly rather than in a dangerous manner.

Acupuncture Sports Injury

“How can I get back to normal and back on the field, track or the court, as quickly as possible?”

Acupuncture treatment ‘fast tracks’ your recovery time, and gets to the point of the problem quicker. If you happen to be sidelined by a sports injury, a fall, or injury to joint or muscles you’re likely to be suffering either one or a combination of the following signs and symptoms:

• Bruising

• Inflammation

• Swelling or Oedema

• Restriction of movement

• Pain

For sports related and muscle and joint injuries, acupuncture works locally right at the site of the problem. Your body basically has the capacity to ‘manufacture’ its own natural pain killers, natural anti-inflammatory and anti-stress hormones. Acupuncture stimulates your body to get that production line moving, thus releasing those natural, in-built body chemical healers, giving you a less pain/more gain sensation. And the ability to get back into the game faster. The fact is, the sooner your acupuncture treatment of these injuries is started, the less time you’ll need to be sitting on the sidelines. Once acupuncture treatment is commenced it will work in the following ways to help you bounce right back into action:

• Lessening the effect of bruising

• Reducing the swelling, inflammation and pain

• Increasing the range of movement of the affected joint whether it’s fingers, feet, knees, hips, back, neck or shoulders

• Decreasing muscle spasm and dispersing the ‘caulking’ in muscles

• Reducing pain quite substantially with each treatment by breaking the pain/spasm cycle.

• Cutting healing time dramatically by improving blood supply to the affected area and dispersing oedema or swelling.

• Acupuncture can also provide an extra aid in healing when used in conjunction with other therapies such as massage.

To do all of this, acupuncture treatment recreates and maintains the natural free flow of energy through all the muscles, blood vessels and vital organs of the body. So you feel great! Get back on your feet, faster.

SPORTS PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT

One of the great and really interesting benefits of acupuncture is its natural performance enhancing ability.

An unfair advantage? Not really, because it utilises and facilitates the untapped potential that exists in us all, particularly with sportsmen and women and athletes. That extra ‘edge’ would normally lie dormant as a reserve. Now, through acupuncture, it can be accessed.

Athletes from swimmers to runners to tri-athletes are using the physical and mental stimulation and inner calmness created by acupuncture treatment to help them cross ‘the pain barrier’. This barrier is crossed when an athlete generates enough ‘endorphins’ (happy hormones) to experience euphoric feelings and less pain. This happens usually after an hour of extreme effort.

Acupuncture treatment can get an athlete right up there before the event even starts, creating an enormous psychological advantage and allowing performance to be enhanced through the relaxation of tight muscles and increased blood flow.

Acupuncture’s potential for performance enhancement is enormous and its role in the sporting arena is being tapped by countless athletes and sports people anxious to get on with the game.

If you feel your performance could be improved, make an appointment today with acupuncture specialist Duane O’Donnell who can improve your performance naturally.

Life Coaching or Counseling

After years of building your life around your ex it might be hard to change your patterns after your divorce. You may find yourself feeling better, moving on, dating, but in the process you are comparing all your dates to your ex, or you talk endlessly to your dates about your ex. If you tend to also call your ex, and ask favors of your ex, you might not be as over him as you may think.

One thing to realize is that your behavior is normal. You spent a lot of your life with that other person they don’t just disappear and your past doesn’t change just because you got a divorce. You don’t just stop wanting to call the one person you’ve been counting on all your adult life. It doesn’t just all go away, especially if you weren’t the one who initiated the divorce.
Take all the time you need to get through your divorce. There is no cut and dried time frame. Many suggest at least a year, but my suggestion is to be very honest with yourself and using that honesty decide for yourself. Just know that you need time to heal and part of healing is talking about your ex, reliving your past together, feeling sad and happy about the past. Learning to separate yourself from your ex by doing things for yourself. And then finally come to an acceptance of how things are today.Specialized counseling or coaching can help you tremendously in over-coming these issues. There are counselors who specialize in moving on after divorce and they will allow you to talk to them about your ex, and about your dates, and how all this makes you feel. They will help you overcome any sticking points so that you can make a wise choice about a future mate.
A life coach will often act as a magic mirror into the nature of your actions, cutting through the bull and telling you the truth about yourself. Life Coaching is not for the faint of heart or for people with true mental illness. But if you’re ready for a kick in the pants to get you going that type of help might be for you.
Life Coaching and hypnotherapy Chicago focuses on what you can do to make you better and counseling focuses on why you have the reactions you have. Not saying that one is better than the other, it truly depends on your needs and personality but I highly recommend giving either one a try if you’re having trouble being peaceful about your situation.
