Supplements can be a great way to keep your body healthy and ensure longevity and vitality. Your body needs certain nutrients. Mostly we get these nutrients from the food we eat, but also we can give our food a healthy boost by adding supplements. Physical activity plays a vital role in the healthy body. Active adults have bodies that demand more. Here are some things to look for:

• Vitamins B-6, B-12 and Folic Acid

…Known to play a role in the maintenance of normal homocysteine levels important to cardiovascular health.

• Grape Seed Extract

…Is a natural plant extract which provides cardiovascular and strengthens tissue preventing oxidation of lipoproteins.

• Acai Berry

…Is a high-energy super fruit from the Amazon rainforest. It is considered on the most powerful and nutritious foods in the world.

• Vitamin B Complex

…Promotes the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose, which is then converted to energy.


When ever starting a supplement regimen it is important to consult a professional. At Synergywellnessny we specialize in nutritional wellness and can help you find the supplement that is right for you.

Well-being and health in the workplace are new concepts that are increasingly accepted and sought after. Stresses and strains impede the inner balance of body, emotion, mind and spirit influencing not just your work but the work of others. Massage is a great way to counter act poor workplace performance and productivity in the aftermath of the current economic environment.

Any departmental workforce can increase physical, mental, and emotional vitality, but an increase in morale, thus fostering an improved sense of team is most beneficial. Employees become an integral part of the well-being of the overall corporation. More importantly, the employee is empowered to to make improvements to his/ her own physical and emotional health.

Trauma in our lives can be life changing and over-whelming. The very structure of trauma, including hyper arousal, dissociation, and freezing, is based on evolution of the predator/prey survival behaviors. Trauma symptoms are the result of a highly activated incomplete biological response to threat, frozen in time. Sources of traumatic stress can be:

• Pre and Post natal Distress
• Surgery, Illness, and Burns
• Suffocation or Choking
• Automobile Accidents
• Emotional, Physical, or Sexual Abuse

The symptoms of traumatic stress can be increased heart rate, restricted breathing, cold sweats, migraines, poor immune system function.

A holistic approach to healing recognizes that the emotional, cognitive, spiritual and physical elements of each person comprise a system, and attempts to treat the whole person.

It seems everyone is talking about nutrition these days and with good reason. Balanced nutrition is the corner stone of any healthy lifestyle. The USDA recently released its revised food pyramid and to no one’s surprise is suggesting that Americans eat more fruits and vegetables.

• Strengthens the body
• Prevents against unhealthy weight gain
• Cleanses and detoxifies the body

Nutrition is key to a healthy lifestyle and we can help you at Synergy Wellness Ny. Our team of expert staff understand what you body needs and will help you achieve your goals.

Pregnancy can be a time of great change. Your body is carrying another life inside of it and over time, as the life grows, so do you. Over a period of about nine months your body goes through a dramatic metamorphosis. Change, even welcome change, can be a distressful disruption to your daily life. Massage is a wonderful way to increase your energy and release tension. Also, prenatal massage is a great way of preparing a woman for the stresses of child-birth. The benefits can be:

• Stress relief on weight bearing joints.
• Increases blood circulation which reduces swelling in hands and feet.
• Nurturing touch provides emotional support to expectant mother.
• Labor muscles are more prepared for child-birth
• Reduces insomnia caused by pregnancy
• Reduces depression and tension caused by lack of sleep
• Helps in the regulation of blood pressure

While the benefits of Prenatal care are too many to list, Post natal care can also be just as beneficial. New mothers can feel mentally exhausted and physically tired. Massage eases the stresses that come from the rapid transition from a pregnant woman’s body to the body after birth. Through post natal massage the energy lost during labor is replenished.

At Synergy Wellness Ny we provide specific massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient’s needs.

The ache in headache does not come from your brain-your brain cannot feel pain. During brain surgery a patient is often wide awake feeling nothing, even talking to surgeons and nurses while his brain is being operated on (a local anesthetic numbs the scalp). So what puts the “ache” in headache? It’s the non-brain structures: blood vessels, membranes and cranial nerves in the brain and skull. When these are stretched, compressed, irritated or infected, headaches often result.

Why do millions of headache sufferers turn to the natural, drug-free chiropractic approach to health? That’s because chiropractic has a unique healing approach. Chiropractors are the only health professionals trained to analyze your body for a serious and often ignored condition that can damage your nerves, cause inflammation, cause muscles to tighten and knot, weaken your body, cause fatigue and set the stage for sickness and disease.

For many years it has been said that the DC after a Doctor of Chiropractic’s name also stands for “Doctor of Cause” – chiropractors correct the cause of a patients health problems, rather than give pain killers and other drugs that only treat the symptoms.

How does relate to my headaches? When the neck is out of alignment, the muscle can actually pull on the brain! An increasing body of literature relates headaches to pathology affecting the cervical spine and a number of clinical trials have demonstrated that chiropractic is valuable for managing headaches.

Your immune system keeps you 100% organic. That is the way it should be. An unhealthy immune system may fail to recognize or remove abnormal cells and may not protect you from infection. Also, your immune system may overreact to foreign substances, become depressed, or even attack itself.

The most common immune system disorder is the dreaded Allergy. Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to an allergen(dust, pollen, dander, etc.) and produces too many neutralizing chemicals to counteract it.

The incidence of allergies and related disorders is rising all over the world. Why? Well, the cause of this increase remains a mystery to most medical researchers.

Orthodox medicine has no cure for allergies, only treatment of symptoms. Since runny eyes, irritation, redness, fullness in the sinuses and other allergy symptoms are caused by histamines, antihistamines are often prescribed to dry mucous membranes. However, antihistamines can cause serious heart problems and should never be used with alcohol or sedatives.

Clinical observations have shown that breast-fed babies have fewer allergy problems than formula-fed babies. Breast-fed babies appear to have fewer health and immune system problems and are less likely to have future health conditions.

Do you spell it A-S-P-I-R-N, V-A-L-I-U-M, M-O-T-R-I-N, or T-Y-L-E-N-O-L? There are literally thousands of ways many people spell relief and most boil down to: D-R-U-G-S.

People take a lot of drugs: billions of pills, powders, potions and lotions. Why shouldn’t we? We’re exposed to thousands of TV and radio commercials, newspaper and magazine advertisements, soap operas, and prime time shows all saying the same thing: “Just take a little pill and everything will be fine.”

Is relief important? You know it is. If you are suffering or in pain, that is all you can think of: “I need to get rid of this headache,” “If only I can have this pain go away,” “I would give anything to be comfortable,” “I wish I could breathe freely.” There are times when medication is necessary and desirable. The accident victim, the burn victim, the terminally ill and others should receive the relief they need. We want ease, not disease. Medicines are sometimes seen as magic gems to those who know only agony and distress without them.

If drugs made people healthy then those of that take the most should be the healthiest of us, right? But aren’t they the sickest? In part that’s because drugs cause health problems. According to one study, 106,000 people die on average each year in the US from properly prescribed medications in hospitals and 2.2 million are seriously harmed and require additional hospitalization due to adverse drug reactions. Since hospital use accounts for half of all prescription drug use, the numbers for the entire US population are at least double. Is it any wonder that modern medicine is the third leading cause of death in the Us and quite possibly kills as many people as the second cause of death-cancer?

Do drugs correct the cause of your problem or do they just temporarily relieve and suppress symptoms?

We do not simple give you the next greatest drug on the market to cover up the root problem of your pain and distress.

As children grow and explore the world, crawling leads to walking. Walking leads to running. Tricycles lead to bicycles. Before we know it, their mobility and curiosity create a whirlwind of nonstop activity.

Along the way they lose their balance. They fall. They slip. They trip. They stumble. They tumble.

A kiss and a bandage may be comforting, but what about the unseen injury to their spines? Even though your child’s young body has tremendous capacity to adapt, uncorrected subluxations can set the stage for problems often seen later in adults.

Regular chiropractic checkups during this time of rapid growth are essential.

What’s the difference between children who seem to get “the bugs that are going around” and those that don’t?

Spinal subluxations can hamper your child’s ability to ward off infections. Weakened by a compromised nervous system, his stomach, lungs, nose, ears and throat can welcome viruses and other microbes.

Restoring the integrity of the nervous system and the workings of every cell and tissue is what chiropractic care is all about.

Many parents who consult our office report that their children miss less school and seem healthier than other children.

Stretching can be valuable for many people, but the right stretches in the correct order are what makes the difference when looking for performance gains or just a better quality of life with postural support. This understanding allows people to treat themselves and increase their movement and function. It is important for the body to be strong before engaging in demanding life activities or sporting events. It is not uncommon for individuals to experience personal breakthroughs when applying these techniques.
