I’m always on the lookout to break from the confines of my studio to record another episode of Spinal Column Radio. Whether it’s firing up the mic to podcast on a sandy beach, conduct an interview while soaking in a hot tub, or introduce our show at 2500 feet from the backseat of a Cessna, my creative side is always thinking ahead. Such was the case when I approached Dr. Graeme Gibson for an interview atop the grave of our profession’s first patient: Harvey Lillard. (more…)

The other day I had the chance to be interviewed on an Internet radio show designed to introduce youth to the various professions that have been ranked by the Jobs Rated Almanac as the Top 100 Careers for the next decade. “Chiropractor” ranked number 19.

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?
Regards, Pablo

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…)

A chiropractic college in Seattle? Bizarre. That’s what I first thought when I heard about it.

Certainly you’ve heard a song played on a radio station, but I bet you’ve never heard a song played about a radio station. Well, thanks to my antique collecting crony, I have. And would you believe it has a chiropractic connection? (more…)

The word on my white board the other day was “spizz” — a word that invariably provoked a question from each one of my patients.
“What does spizz mean, Dr. Lamar?”
“Well,” I would reply, “it’s short for spizzerinctum. Does that help?”
“No,” was the answer with a smile, I heard 99.9% of the time. No one knew what it meant — except for one elderly lady. (more…)

Recently I took my very pregnant wife to see a chiropractor.
This statement seems simple enough and should make a world of sense, unless, the person making this statement is a chiropractor, himself. That would be me.
I was in search of a chiropractor specializing in a method I knew very little about: Webster Technique. It’s interesting because many who think they have a familiarity with this style of chiropractic know it is a technique used to encourage babies in the later stages of pregnancy to turn from breech position. The reality is the technique isn’t about that at all. (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…)
