Dr. Ken Gee Ehrlich (11945 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Los Angeles, CA 90025) wishes everyone their healthiest year ever. He reminds us that chiropractic care is not just for auto accidents and neck and back pain as many people and families receive chiropractic care on a wellness basis. Take good care of your family 2008 and make sure they’re receiving regular chiropractic care. Ehrlichs chiropractic office is nearby Brentwood and Westwood and they’re happy to see patients bring their friends and family.

Most of us know that one of the best forms of exercise we can get is daily walking. Living in the Santa Monica and Venice beach areas we really have little excuse for not getting outside for exercise. Those of you busy sitting in traffic on Lincoln Boulevard or the 10 freeway have somewhat of an excuse but you should still be able to get out and get moving.

Even if you lived in the Santa Monica or Venice area for many years, you may not regulate take advantage of some of the great places you can walk around in these two coastal cities. Photograph shown here is along one of the canals in Venice Beach, California and you can see the walk path running up the right side in the photograph.

All of the canals feature walk paths and they have become quite a popular place to go out and get some exercise. You don’t have the live along the canals to enjoy them. Of course some residents would prefer you just stay home but the canals themselves are public property that are maintained by the city of Los Angeles. Most residents living along the Venice canals are quite friendly and do lots of walking themselves.

During the week it should not be difficult to find parking if you’re going to drive to the area. On the weekends you may want to park a few blocks away like somewhere north of Ocean Blvd. so that you’re not caught driving around in the neighborhood seeking out a parking space.

You can bring your dog along for a walk but please be sure to be a responsible dog owner. Dogs not on a leash in this area can be a risk to others and themselves. There are all sorts of wildlife along the canals, especially ducks, so dogs off leash can easily become dogs swimming in the canal.

It’s great to get out and breathe some fresh air, taking a leisurely walk in the neighborhood. Walking is great for your spine and mind. It gets motion in the joints, helps move fluids through your body, gets your entire musculoskeletal system activated, and stimulates brain function, especially when walking in places as beautiful as the Venice canals.

Your local chiropractor will be happy to know you had a healthy walk today!
