You won’t need the house with brick and stone if you lose the one with blood and bones.  I love that saying.  All too true.  I have experienced time and time again the practice member who has the money to go on vacations, drive a nice car and live in a beautiful home, but do [...]

In our fast paced society, we want it fast and we want it yesterday.  Honestly, that is why fast food is so popular and Walgreens, RiteAid and CVS are able to build on every corner.  However, some things are best if given time.  Healing is one of those things.  If the blocks are removed that are [...]

Do we complicate health care?  The health industry has always been on the cutting edge of creating a new snake oil.  In the old days there was always a peddler selling some kind of snake oil with miraculous health benefits.  I’m not taking away the fact that some of these products did some good.  My [...]

A new patient asked me today, “Do I have to come for the rest of my life?”  My reply was, “How long do you have to eat well, get plenty of rest, and exercise?”  Point taken.  Chiropractic adjustments are not a treatment, but a lifestyle.  I can always compare it to the maintenance of a [...]

The healing capacities of the human body never cease to amaze me!  All I do is free the spine and the body seems to just turn on.   It’s like gravity!  The natural law of healing resides in every living organism.  The same power that fashioned us in the womb still resides in us to adapt [...]

How many people find themselves on the wrong road.  I had a patient the other day that came in nearly crippled from back pain.  This fella knew that if he went the medical route, he would be given anti inflammatory meds and muscle relaxers.  If that didn’t help, they would be sent to physical therapy.  [...]

This is the time of the year when our focus and attention goes out the window if we are not careful.   Everything and everyone is vying for our attention.  In this whirlwind of overload being placed on our mind and thoughts it is possible to develop “head pain”.  The symptoms involved may be headache and [...]

Chiropractors have a habit most people usually do not worry about. We watch peoples posture all day. Mind you, we are not only doing this in our practices during the work day. We are doing it at the grocery store, the bank, and just about everywhere we go. My intention is pure. The affects of [...]
