Family Practice of Chiropractic is proud to service the community in many ways. Dr. Minico has always been a firm believer in helping and educating others on how to best care for their health. He does this by a series of volunteer activities.

Dr. Minico is involved in giving a series of lectures on stress. There is no charge for these lectures and they only last about thirty minutes. The information he provides is designed to help you manage stress on a daily basis. The talk addresses:

• defining and recognizing stress
• good and bad stress
• confronting and dealing with stress
• the 80-10-10 principle
• fear and worry
• when things go wrong
• effects of stress on health

Experts say that stress may be the number one problem to deal with in the fast-paced times that we live in. It is something that all of us face whether young or old. Stress from careers, deadlines, conflicts, and the demands on our time and money can take a huge toll on our health. Much the same way a chain tends to break at its weakest link, our bodies exhibit stress in the weakest areas of our bodies. It can be anything from an upset stomach to recurring headaches, back pain or muscle stiffness. We need real solutions to deal with this ever-present problem that continually and increasingly affects us.

Dr. Minico addresses stress head on and gives solid solutions for coping with it.

This community service is conducted in a variety of places and events. The posture analysis is a simple procedure of measuring the individual's posture on a posture meter which is used for the detection of possible spinal misalignments as well as structural defects to determine causes, if any, of possible health problems. There is nothing done that involves dangers or risks and there is no charge or obligation to any interested persons for the posture analysis. There is also literature provided for interested individuals with postural-related health problems. Dr. Minico brings education to the public to make it easy for individuals to find out what can be done to improve their health.
