Casino Night is Almost Here!

The excitement has been building up for what is going to be the hottest neighborhood night out – the Ranch at Brushy Creek Casino Night! There will be plenty of casino games, delicious food, plus a cash bar, and if you run out of chips you can dance the night away with music and emcee provided by Eric Christianson of Penguin Entertainment. The best part of the night though will be the end of the night when everyone is guaranteed at least one prize ticket as we draw for some amazing prizes!! We have had such an amazing showing of support from local businesses and we hope you repay them for their generosity by sharing on our Facebook page your experiences. We certainly couldn’t have pulled off this event without their help!

Special thanks to our Ranch at Brushy Creek HOA and to our Table Sponsors! Their generous donations helped pay for the food, entertainment and decorations you’ll be enjoying throughout the night.

• Highland Homes• Little Smile’s Pediatric Dentistry• Carlos Ojeda• Austin Billiards• Roosters Men’s Grooming Center• Penguin Entertainment

THE BULLETIN

HEADACHESSubmitted by Dr. Jeff Echols

I’ve been treating headaches for over 25 years and I believe they are very misunderstood by the general public.

It’s only human nature to have a reason for why something is occurring, so when people get a headache they usually try to determine the reason for their headache. Some of the reasons I hear are quite amusing. “My husband gives me a headache, …my boss, …my kids.” “I sit at a computer all day and THAT is the reason I have a headache.”Sometimes people think that headaches are just normal and everyone gets them. I can assure you that headaches are not normal. Headaches are a sign that there is something wrong. Just like all symptoms are signs that something is wrong.

Headaches can be caused by a lot of different things. They can be caused by exotic and dangerous things like a brain tumor, but more often they are caused by common things. The most common reason is pressure on the nerves of the neck that radiate back into the head. When the bones of the spine are misaligned it will put pressure on the delicate nerves that exit the spine. This will in turn cause the muscles of the neck and shoulders to become

tight and develop knots in them You can actually reach up and feel the knots in your muscles. These knots are not normal and are a sign of spinal misalignment and soft tissue damage. Once the spinal misalignments are corrected the muscles relax more and the headaches are gone. Just for fun, I sometimes ask a headache patient when was the last they had a headache, once they have had their spine corrected. They will usually say something like “Gosh I haven’t had a headache in months”. I will ask them if they got divorced and they will look at me funny and say “NO, why?” You said your husband was the cause of your headaches! “Oh I guess I was wrong!”

So headaches are not normal, but are very common. They’re usually caused by nerve pressure built up in the neck which causes tight muscles in the neck and shoulders. They can usually be corrected with gentle chiropractic therapy. You should get this checked even if the headaches are mild because if the bones of the spine are misaligned it will cause arthritic changes to form in the bones of the spine which will limit your ability to move and bend as well as other difficulties. Be proactive about your health.

R@BC LONGEST FIELD GOAL CHALLENGE, AND

HOT DOG FEAST!WIN AN IPAD OR AN IPAD MINI!

Carlos Ojeda, giving back to the RBC community

Dear neighbors, we already have several registrations for the challenge. If you have not signed up for it, go to www.RBCChallenge.com and register. IT IS FREE!

The challenge will take place at the Brushy Creek football fields on Parmer and Brushy Creek Rd.

Remember that this is an event for fun. It does not matter if you feel that you are “too old” or your kids “too young”, my 2 year old is already signed up to kick.

So far we have not had that many women signed up. I have seen women kick a soccer ball harder than many men! I would’nt be surprised if a women takes the Ipad or a girl the Ipad mini.

Rules are on the website at www.RBCchallenge.com At this point the challenge is open to R@BC residents only. We hope to get at least 50 families registered by the end of January.

Remember, there are two categories, the winner of the 12 and under gets an IPAD mini, and the winner of the 13 and up category wins an IPAD.

This is an event for the whole family; we will have Hot Dogs and drinks. Call me if you need more info about the challenge, Carlos Ojeda (512) 496-5234.
