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 […]
For 12 days (office days) prior to Christmas, we will be celebrating in our office by giving away goodies each day to our patients. This is for no other reason than to have fun and to give back, and to thank our patients for choosing our office. So far this past week, we gave out […]
This time of year people are usually thinking of the people or things they are thankful for. With Thanksgiving just a few days ago, I always like to remember what I am thankful for — and it is how I start out each day yet often take for granted. I am thankful for being able […]
Today I drove up to the bank to make a deposit, and the woman inside noticed I had a child in my backseat and asked me if I wanted “one”. Being asked this question on prior trips, I knew she was talking about a lollipop, though it amused me she didn’t even have to say […]
The other day I had a patient come back to the office, a woman who hadn’t been in for two years. She had been under care for almost a year previously, and for whatever reason, stopped coming in yet decided to come back in this week. When she walked into the office, I really didn’t […]
