A few weeks ago a new patient came in after she went to another area chiropractor.

I talk about this every day with my new patients, and thought I’d take 2 minutes to discuss it here. What causes spinal disc degeneration? A disc is what separates the spinal vertebrae from each other. It acts as a cushion and when working correctly will allow for fluid, pain-free, normal range of motion. It […]
Food (and exercise) for thought January is always a great time to take a step back and reevaluate where you’re at and where you want to go. In terms of health, this might entail looking at diet, exercise, and fitness goals. One has to be brutally frank with oneself for this to work right, so […]
