Recently we had a long distance runner come to our office who was experiencing Achilles Tendonitis that hadn’t resolved with traditional medical treatment. He was unable to run because of the pain and you could barely even touch his achilles without him jumping out in pain. After about a month of care, which included adjustments […]
So how fun was Wednesday night for me? It was one of those nights that could have been really good or really bad. Luck could have gone my way or gone against me (considering I had nothing to do with the outcome of things), and what are the chances that things would be bad? Well […]
Last week I was talking to someone who told me they had “normal” headaches, so I asked what was normal about a headache. They said it was the kind that everyone gets, you know, “normal” ones. My response was that I don’t get headaches, and if I do it is because I am dehydrated, I […]
Not too long ago I saw an article in the Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine that examined the unanticipated benefits of CAM for back pain (CAM means complementary alternative medicine). They looked at 884 individuals, and the results indicated a “range of positive outcomes” that included increased options and hope, increased ability to relax, […]
In mid-August, I set out on a 21-day purification, a three week cleanse/detox. I decided to do this because over the course of the past several months, I felt my nutrition was less than ideal and I had started to eat what I consider more unhealthy foods. If you are like me, once you start […]
Yesterday was the first meeting of “Pathways Connect Kennesaw”, and I must it went well. It is going to be a monthly meeting instead of every other month, as the group there thought it was worthy enough to get together and talk more frequently. That is a really good sign. What is “PCK” you ask? […]

She came in, we took her health history and performed a chiropractic examination, and adjusted her. After three visits performing the Webster’s Technique, she called to […]
Wow this has been a crazy month, and I’m glad it’s over! Let’s see, I raced in two triathlons, one 10k race, traveled to Wisconsin for a weekend, traveled to Chattanooga for a weekend, traveled to Lake Lanier Islands for a weekend, added an extra work day to my schedule, and totally converted all of […]
A few weeks ago the Food & Drug Administration put out yet another alert on a common drug – this time Zocor, a cholesterol lowering drug taken by more than 2 million Americans. They said that the drug can cause a potentially severe muscle disease, called myopathy, especially in the first year of taking the […]
They say change is good, right? Well, my life (more specifically my “office professional” life) is currently going through a bunch of change, hopefully all for the good, and it’s all happening in a one week period of time. Surprisingly enough it isn’t that stressful, maybe because the older I get the better I can […]
