[originally published in KCN, November 2010] Every day in the practice of medicine doctors prescribe their patients “off label” medications.

[originally published in KCN, September 2003] Mark your calendars! Because on September 18th, chiropractic turns 108 [115 by today's date in 2010].

[originally published in KCN, September 2010 / cartoon provided by TomLamarCartoon.com] “Crowbars and chiropractic.” Two words that have sort of an odd relationship at first glance. But as a chiropractor, I contend it is because of crowbars, new clientele seek me out. Let me explain.

[originally published in KCN, August 2010 / cartoon provided by TomLamarCartoon.com] Tonsils. Appendix. Gallbladder. Quick! What do these three body parts have in common? This was the question I recently posed to my patients. I heard many answers: from “These are organs I no longer have,” to “They are all vestigial body parts.” Here’s my take. Apparently, [...]

[originally published in KCN, December 2002] With a prevalence second only to that of the common cold, ear infections — more correctly known as “otitis media” in doctor jargon — may just seem like a part of growing up. Doctors estimate that children will have at least one by the time they turn six. Unfortunately, [...]

[originally published in KCN, July 2002/ cartoon provided by TomLamarCartoon.com] It’s pretty much common knowledge that chiropractic is effective for various forms of low back pain, neck discomfort, and headaches. We see these conditions all the time. The literature supports what we do, and we are fairly adept at explaining how it all works. But there [...]

[originally published in KCN, June 2002] We have 12 pair of them. Two of the pairs “float.” They are essential for breathing and the protection of our heart, lungs, and other vital organs. God took one from Adam to create Eve. Restaurants serve them: short, spare, baby back, and prime. And some condoms are accentuated [...]
