I think it’s something all parents have to do at some point, especially if you live on the east coast USA. Kids grow up seeing Mickey Mouse on TV & on toys; they watch Disney movies; and there is the Disney channel and apps for tablets & phones. To our son, Disney World was just […]
Many people wrongly assume that children and infants don’t need chiropractic care, however adjusting a child’s spine is one of the best things you can do for your child. Chiropractic adjustments to children are very gentle and effective…
It really wasn’t that hard, I’m not sure why. Maybe because we had talked about it, maybe because candy is not big in our household, maybe we are just lucky. The “Switch Witch” isn’t a secret, just something we did and it went over so well. The questions about it though, were quite interesting. You […]
I’ve always thought I was someone who ate well, but could always eat better. You know, eating salads often, fruits & veggies as much as I can, and lots of water. So what’s my problem? It’s typically that 3-7 shift of seeing patients in the afternoon, and going home really hungry then eating whatever I […]
“Tilting your head a mere 15 degrees puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine; a 30 degree neck tilt could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree tilt adds the force of 49 pounds.” While that is not new news to our office, most people have no idea about the amount of stress […]
What are your thoughts on home birth? I believe it is gaining in popularity, more & more women are feeling safe with it and even medical professionals are choosing to bypass the hospital and give birth at home. Sounds like a good idea to me!

This has been a bad September. Well, maybe not bad, but just not normal or fun. I’m certainly glad it’s October and hope that this month goes better. Some of my favorite things just did not happen in September and that made it a frustrating month. So, what happened that made this month not a […]
My darn toe. Actually it’s my foot, and technically my first metatarsal (AKA foot bone). It’s sore, it’s tender and it’s not making me happy. It started about 6 weeks ago on a “brick” run, which is a 3-mile run after a bike ride. I thought nothing of it as those aches & pains come […]
I don’t think it is so much genetics that causes health problems, as much as it is the habits taught to us by our parents. I really don’t see many children who are overweight if their parents eat healthy (and are ultimately not overweight), however I do see overweight kids who have overweight parents. The […]
I remember that night, close to 29 years ago. I was in Connecticut at my sister’s house while she was at the hospital. She would call every few hours or so complaining about how long it was taking and how horrible it was, but there was nothing we could do (or that we knew of […]
