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. It could be from dehydration, it could be from stress, it could even be from a disease. However, many times vertebral […]
It’s January … the very busy time of year in our office, especially as far as paperwork is concerned. Thus the 2 week delay in writing my blog! We need to verify everyone’s insurance again, patients with insurance have deductibles that start over, addresses must be updated, exams are performed and the list goes on. […]
It’s that time of year again – my vacation is over. That is, my vacation from unhealthy living. For the past few weeks, I don’t allow myself to worry about what I eat or drink. Chocolate, candy, wine, lots of turkey, whatever, I eat it and I don’t care. I allow myself this “break” because […]
When news broke last week that actress Brittany Murphy died of natural causes, my immediate thought was that 32 year old women don’t die of natural causes, there had to be something else. Days later, news came out that she died of a heart attack brought on by prescription drug use. While we may never […]
Months ago I had promised myself that I would “blog” at least once a week. I think it’s good to get my thoughts out there, its good for patients and friends to know what I am thinking, and it is apparently good for search engines. I’m still learning all that part though. It’s been more […]
This week I spoke to two class of 7th graders at a local middle school, talking about chiropractic and a career as a Chiropractor. I have been doing this for several years and it always is fun. These kids totally pay attention, they answer my questions, they volunteer for a game we play, and they always […]
