Another important pillar of health is exercise. Yes I tend to be an exercise nut (currently training for marathon #8) and while that may not be the best form of exercise for everyone, you need to be getting 3-5 days of exercise a week. I’m not a big fan of just 3 days, since there […]
Two weeks ago we talked about the importance of nutrition. This week we’ll talk about rest. Some think that rest/sleep is the most important thing for our health, more important than nutrition. This may be true if you think about it this way: You could go weeks without eating, but you can’t go 4 days without […]
On Sunday while I was in New Hampshire, my son Alex woke up with a high fever and was a unhappy, lethargic little boy. He spent the morning just lying on my shoulder, or with my sister holding him. He was burning hot with the fever — getting up to 103.2 degrees. Since we were scheduled […]

Today, I am going to talk about nutrition…and give you some short tidbits of info: Nutrition is a critical pillar in that one must focus on following a good balanced diet on a daily basis…having […]

When people think of breast cancer or any other cancer they normally don’t think about chiropractic care. But if you really think about it, after all the surgeries and rounds of chemo, a person is really beat up and burned out; and who is the best trained to get them up and running again – […]
Recently we’ve had a few new patients in our office who are runners. One is training for an upcoming marathon and we were talking about doing our long runs in preparation for the race. Considering I have been adjusted regularly for the past 16 years, I cannot imagine NOT being adjusted, particularly when it comes […]
In the past two weeks, I’ve had two new patients in my office, both pregnant, who came in because their babies were in the breech position, meaning their head was up and their feet & bottom were down. That is not the ideal way to be born, so these women learned that chiropractic care could help with […]
Last week I went out for a 16-mile training run (yes that’s part of training for a marathon) and I ran on some trails, which is my favorite place to run. Instead of avoiding cars and traffic lights, you are avoiding deer, squirrels, rocks, and roots. It is much more peaceful than the roads, and easy […]
Do you get “normal” headaches? Do you know how many people tell me that? Too many, especially since there is nothing normal about a headache. A headache is the body’s warning that something is wrong.
