Every chiropractor who has been in practice for some time has had a population of patients that did not respond as he would have expected. Oh sure, many of them got relief from the chiropractic care provided, but it only lasted for a few hours — a day, tops. And mind you, we’re not talking about the first few visits, but, rather, a well-established pattern. Or the patient did well with the adjustments, only to have the back misalign again from a trivial event. It’s been my experience that not every patient 
falls into the typical “restore-motion-to-stuck-spinal-joint-and-watch-patient-get-better” category. Sometimes we chiropractors need to acknowledge that not every case of mechanical back pain is due to spinal joints being” stuck” or “locked” — instead, sometimes it’s just the opposite: the joints are too loose.

Ten percent dead? What? Now before you stop reading, hear me out. It’s interesting if you stop to think about it: dead or alive. Pretty much an all or none proposition. Right? Well, maybe not. What about instead of being completely alive, you were partially dead? What would that feel like? What might some of your symptoms be? While we all can understand the concept of being alive, and all have a firm grasp on the concept of being dead, the notion of being somewhere in between might be a new one for us.

Ever wonder what’s in my medicine cabinet? One LARGE bottle.
It’s something I know that the pharmaceutical companies would love to capture and call their own. Let me share the label with you…. (more…)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Chiropractic Effective Treatment of Headaches, Says American Chiropractic Association
Kingston, WA (Oct. 1, 2009) –This October, during National Chiropractic Month, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) is encouraging families to consider chiropractic care as a treatment for several types of headaches.

Today it is becoming more and more accepted by the health care community and public at large that chiropractors are great back doctors. I would agree. The scientific literature certainly supports our primary method of treatment for back pain, and more insurance companies are covering our services for it. Considering our history of long uphill battles to gain “acceptance” as a viable health care profession, it is understandable that we might be drawn to settle into this “comfortable chair” of being labeled as back pain specialists. But to do so would really be undermining the true potential that the art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic has to offer. (more…)

As my daughter, Paige, enters into her eighth month of life, it’s not uncommon for people to make a joking remark, here and there, that she has “wonderful posture” and “appears to be well adjusted” — of course that’s what you’d expect from a chiropractor’s child, right? Then the same people will ask with a concerned look on their face, “You don’t really adjust her spine do you?”

It’s not uncommon — when I query someone who has come to my office, if they have any neck pain, headaches, or lower back pain —for them to say, “Yes but….”
“Yes, but… my neck pain is because I have a bad pillow.”
“Yes, but… my headaches are brought on by stress.”
“Yes, but… my lower back pain is because I drive a lot.”
And my response is, “That may be so, but….” (more…)
