Lately these blogs have been just so hard to write. I typically write about some personal experience and relate it to health or positivity, but I’m having a hard time finding some personal events to discuss. It’s been 10 weeks of this craziness, right? Yea, sheltering at home maybe was “nice” for the first two […]
July 9, 2006 I was in a bad bicycle wreck while riding in the mountains of North Georgia as part of training for a half ironman triathlon.

Chiropractic care saved my life, and I don’t mean in a spiritual way, I mean in a physical way. I truly feel that if weren’t for chiropractic adjustments and an optimally functioning nervous system, I could have been seriously injured or quite possibly could have died. I know that may sound crazy to some of […]
