In celebration of Memorial Day, Drs. Craig and Lacey Akridge would like to thank those in our community who have served in our armed forces, and who have given their lives for our country.
We also thank the families of these courageous men and women for their sacrifices while facing the challenges of military life.
Your dedication and service make us proud to serve you in Bellevue, Papillion and the Omaha metro area.
Akridge & Akridge Chiropractic will be joining other businesses for fun and networking on Tuesday for Shop Til You Drop.
This first-ever event is being held from 4 to 7 p.m. May 20 at John A. Gentleman Mortuary in Bellevue.
Sarah Bernhagen, public relations representative, said John A. Gentleman decided to host the event to support business owners who work from their homes. “We wanted to give them a chance to come to a venue and invite their own clients so other vendors can meet those clients. And it’s a business networking event, too.”
The event is open to the public. There is no admission charge, “but you can’t leave empty-handed,” Bernhagen said.
Goodwill Industries is donating beverages for the event, and Mable Rose Estates is donating food. Other participants include Tastefully Simple, The Needle & Thread Embroidery Co., Scentsy, Bellevue Dance Academy, Thirty-one, Zing, Penelope Ann/Home Interiors, Park Lane Jewelry, Mary Kay, Origami Owl and Take Shape for Life.
Come out and join Jenn and the other vendors!

A reminder for National Physical Education and Sports Week, May 1-7 : To keep your kids safe from sports injuries, especially ligament tears, make sure that a neuromuscular training program is part of their overall training and practice program.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the program because doctors say these injuries are becoming more common in young athletes – especially girls.
The AAP issued a report that detailed the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, and gives information to medical professionals on how to diagnose and treat them.
Youths playing football, soccer, basketball and gymnastics can tear an ACL when they land wrong on their leg, stop quickly, collide with another player or quickly change direction. Girls are at a higher risk because growth during puberty puts additional force on knee joins. Boys gain muscular coordination and strength during this time, but girls usually do not.
Akridge & Akridge Chiropractic can give your athletes stretches and other warm-up advice to keep them healthy while playing. We can help treat sports injuries, too. Give us a call at 402-884-4774 to set up an appointment.
