The developer of the chiropractic profession, BJ Palmer, used to imprint upon the walls of his office: “Expect Miracles.” Why? Because we chiropractors are afforded a front row seat to witness them everyday as we serve our patients. It’s pretty amazing! But it’s greater than you might think.

Imagine a bank robber wearing the stereotypical burglar garb. The safe stands open with bags of money piled high as he, in runner’s pose, is making a getaway. In his hand is clutched, not a sack of cash, but a bunch of pens. That’s right, pens. (more…)

My problem is that after all these years of going to a good chiropractor, I became very sensitive about when I have a subluxation. It was like this external force was helping me and had become an addiction. Then I suffered when I didn’t have it. What do you recommend about this?

I hear this concern every once in a while. And while I’m sympathetic to his situation, I feel that painting chiropractic as an “addiction” not only casts the profession in a bad light, but — more importantly — does not address the true nature of his problem. (more…)

Twinkies are now back on supermarket shelves, and their new owner (who also owns Pabst Blue Ribbon beer) is banking that you’ll come flocking back to stock up on the iconic snack food. And while I’m sure the new company will reap a return on their investment, my vantage point as a chiropractor is not convinced they’ll see the return they’re hoping for.
Lately we’ve been witnessing a slow, groundswell “shift” in how our country views —and does — health, and the story of the Twinkie illustrates the point beautifully. (more…)

Vomit. Not quite your standard opening to a newspaper article, but it does have a way of catching your attention. Most of my patients are very familiar with this word. It perhaps is the most popular of the words that I scribble on my white board every week. “So what does vomiting have to do with chiropractic?” you ask. More than you might think…

If I was the CEO of a major drug company of pain and anti-inflammatory medications looking to boost my already incredible sales, I would open up a restaurant. Why? Because, food — if eaten in the improper proportions, from a biochemical standpoint — has the ability to create excessive and uncontrollable inflammation, making a chronic, painful, inflammatory condition all the worse.
