The Christmas season has come and gone once again. Memories have been made. Good times have been shared. And families have come together. But alas, it’s time to pack away the decorations and lights. Put away the Christmas CD’s, and eat that last Christmas cookie. And as you hum the tunes of popular carols, and “Silent Night” comes to the forefront, it might be surprising for you to realize that on average the parents of nearly 25% of our newborn population aren’t experiencing such a “silent night.” Not during Christmas; not during anytime of the year for that matter. Their babies are suffering from a frustrating condition of persistent crying many parents are well aware of — a condition known as colic. (more…)

Crack! Pop! Click! Crunch! These are but a sampling of the many descriptors the public associates with the chiropractic profession in general. Sure the words are onomatopoetic and fun to say, but they really do not do the chiropractic profession justice. For these words are merely describing a typical “by-product” of our core method of treatment: the chiropractic adjustment. (more…)

No, you won’t find this in any anatomy book, and the treatment of mentally deranged nerves was never brought up during my years in chiropractic college. However, ask anyone who has had the unfortunate displeasure of suffering from the intense leg pain that this “nerve” generates, and they will emphatically stand by this tongue-and-cheek, layman’s designation.

I recently posed the following question to my patients: Suppose, for a moment, that you had to catch a cold. Now, obviously, no one in their right mind really sets out to do such a thing, but, for the sake of argument, let’s just say that your goal was to actually catch a cold. How would you go about doing it? (more…)

Don’t worry, we aren’t suffering from an aspirin inventory crisis. No, my title for this article really has nothing to do with that. Instead, its about a concept that is so basic — so logical — that it alludes many in our population. (more…)

Log Drivers size up a notable logjam at Taylors Falls on the St. Croix River, Minnesota. (circa 1884)

It was her third adjustment. She had already endured my chiropractic monologue over the previous two visits — explaining the basics of chiropractic and how it related to her. So, you’ll understand then, I was a bit surprised when, as I was preparing to adjust her, she asked, “Just what is it that you are DOING?”
“Doing?” I responded. “I’m adjusting you,” I stated matter-of-factly.
“Yes, I realize that,” she returned. “But just what is it that the adjustment is DOING?”
I paused, a bit disheartened, realizing that my initial communication efforts had been completely ineffective. Obviously a rehash of my script from the days before wasn’t going to cut it.
