Beautiful!

An overlooked brain system helps you grab a coffee – and plan your next cup Researchers have found a system in the brain that seems to integrate control of individual muscles with a person's intentions, emotions, and entire body.

White Lotus is happy to host Tara Zinger in our studio to guide first-timers and seasoned meditators of all levels through this healing experience.

Simply recline on a yoga mat, close your eyes, and bathe in the vibrational music of gong, singing bowls, and other instruments. Allow these meditative sounds to wash over you, bringing feelings of calm, relaxation, and reduced stress. Those who have never before attended such a healing experience can expect this to be an inclusive environment, comfortable for people of all ages and experiences.

We have adjusted to our new normal with increased health and safety procedures in place while still providing the same quality of care in a peaceful, restorative environment. We have adopted the following additional measures:
- MASKS MUST BE WORN the entire time in the office. We have clean fabric masks to borrow for the duration of your visit if you forget yours.
- TREATMENT ROOMS ARE THOROUGHLY DISINFECTED between each appointment, and commonly touched surfaces are wiped down frequently. Both hand sanitizer and access to a handwashing sink are available for general use.
- OUR LOBBY IS CLOSED. Please arrive right at the time of appointment to reduce the time spent waiting in our lobby. If you arrive very early, please call us from your car to let us know you're here, and we will call you back when we are ready for you to enter.
- NO GUESTS ALLOWED. In order to keep the number of people in our clinic to a minimum, we cannot allow children, family members, or friends to come inside with you, with the exception of one parent to accompany an underage client or a caretaker whose assistance is essential to the client.
- SPACIOUS YOGA STUDIO is available for initial consultations, along with certain therapies, to be conducted while maintaining proper social distance. Although most chiropractic therapies do require close proximity with physical contact or the use of equipment housed in our smaller treatment rooms, we are utilizing the open space of the yoga studio when therapeutically appropriate. Please inform staff at time of scheduling if you would prefer the consult portion of your appointment to be in the yoga studio.
- STAY HOME IF UNWELL. Most importantly, if you are experiencing any symptoms of anything contagious, or suspect you have been exposed to COVID-19, please call to reschedule your appointment.

Call our office at 708-383-1200 today to schedule!

We realize that we don’t often use this platform for communication about our practice, but we are in an extremely novel situation at this time and felt it important to reach out. Check back in with us very soon, as we hope to continue to update our page with helpful keep-moving-at-home info!

The current situation surrounding COVID19 is rapidly evolving. We as a community learn more about this virus everyday. We will continually be updating our policies and procedures as the information develops and in accordance with guidelines determined by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control. We have made the unprecedented decision to cancel all group activities in our clinic until further notice, as well as cancel all in-person appointments. This includes our yoga classes and meditation classes, sessions of chiropractic, acupuncture, and manual therapies. As we always have, we will be in contact with each valued client in regards to re-scheduling their appointments through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.

We would like to reiterate all of the safety precautions, that you have inevitably heard from many other sources, but we believe beg repeating:
1. Wash your hands frequently. Thorough handwashing requires the hottest water your hands can tolerate and 20 seconds of vigorous friction with a good soap. This should be done at a minimum before you consume any food and before and after entering any public place. We ask all clients to wash their hands both and after their visits at our clinic.
2. All coughs and sneezes should be directed into a disposal cloth (i.e. Kleenex) or into your elbow. Be very careful that your entire mouth is covered by your clothing when you sneeze or cough.
3. Disinfect commonly touched surfaces at frequent intervals. This includes your cell phone, steering wheel, bathroom surfaces, doorknobs, keyboards, and handles.
4. In accordance with the guidelines current at the time of this writing, gatherings over 10 people should be avoided until the risk of the virus has been reduced.

Health is the very most important thing one can ever attain and therefore should be treated with the greatest of care. We feel grateful to be a part of this wonderful and supportive community and look forward to supporting you at full capacity once of the fear of this virus has been mitigated.

Review of Spinal Manipulative Therapy as a Treatment for Acute Low Back Pain

When research on chiropractic is performed with the scientific rigor necessary to obtain valid and reliable results, the outcomes are consistent with what recipients of chiropractic already know....there IS a safe and effective alternative to pain pills!! Your body CAN heal itself....
How could an adjustment (or massage, or cupping, or acupuncture, or yoga) help you?

http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstr... This meta-analysis summarizes the effectiveness and harms of spinal manipulative therapy for acute (≤6 weeks) low back pain.

Well-rounded wellness treatment plans always include nutritional guidance, and this article highlights one of the principles often discussed at our clinic: Fat Makes You FULL! http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20160913
