Each month for the next 12 months, one asset is being emphasized with suggestions of how to implement this asset as-set and help children to succeed. suc-ceed. Youthnet encourages all parents in the SpringvilleMapleton area to be aware of the 40 developmental develop-mental assets and visit this Web site.

"Kids should spend three or more hours each week in lessons or practicing prac-ticing music, theater or other arts." Ideas to implement are: Encourage your kids to get involved with the arts. As much as possible, let them choose what to do - play the piano (or tuba), act or sing, dance, write, paint, draw, throw pots or whatever interests in-terests them. Provide instruments, instru-ments, materials and lessons (group lessons are fine). Allow Al-low and respect practice time.

In the previous article we discussed if "popping" your joints causes arthritis or not. The popping noise that occurs oc-curs when a joint is "cracked" is most commonly caused by gasses coming out of solution when the joint is distracted. Our conclusion was that there are no studies that show an increased likelihood of arthritis in joints that are "popped" compared to other joints that are not "popped." Does this mean that it is okay to pop our own necks or backs? Or, what is the difference dif-ference between what a chiropractor chi-ropractor does and just popping pop-ping your own neck? To answer an-swer this question we must first discuss why a chiropractor chiro-practor would want to adjust, ad-just, or "pop," a patient's joint. First, a chiropractor determines deter-mines how the bones or joints between the bones are moving. A chiropractor will pay particular attention to those joints that are biome-chanically biome-chanically not moving correctly cor-rectly (fixated). Those vertebrae verte-brae (spine bones) that are moving normal and are held normal are or should be left alone. Next, the chiropractor's adjustment is done in a direction direc-tion and manner to help the bone adjusted to move more biomechanically correct when the bone is moved by the body. Bones, or the joints between the bones, that are moving correctly become less irritated (inflamed) and feel better. Many have seen someone, or maybe we ourselves, grab our chin and twist it toward one of the shoulders in an effort ef-fort to get the neck to pop. People can instinctively feel Reminder for the SHS Class of 1995 Hey Springville Class of 1995! Just a little reminder that our 10 year reunion is this weekend. Have you made plans to attend?

The problem with this situation situ-ation is that as the neck is twisting, those joints that are loose (moving normally) will be the first joints that pop. The stuck ones are much more difficult tp release in this method. The twisting of the neck leaves it with some loose joints and one or two rteally tight joints. The person may momentarily momen-tarily feel good, but then later will have the desire again to pop the joint. The continual twisting and stretching the neck will often of-ten lead to the normal joint becoming excessively loose while the stuck joint remains re-mains stuck. This only worsens the situation situ-ation of the neck, creating one area of the neck that is too loose and another area of the neck that is too tight. As a chiropractor, we can generally recognize those that crack their own necks because they have very loose neck with one or two quite tight and restrictive joints in the neck. Another reason that popping pop-ping your own joint is generally gener-ally not a good idea is because be-cause it can lead to more pain and dysfunction that the person experiences. So, don't pop your own joints. You often may pop the wrong joint, making the problem worse, and you might hurt yourself at the same time.
