We get asked all the time by our patients what vitamins they should take. As you probably guessed, chiropractors are generally healthy folks. We take care of ourselves, eat well, exercise, and take vitamins. Finding the right vitamins can be so confusing. So, we have been carrying what we consider the very best for our patients. Now [...]
Have you heard all the talk of Vitamin D lately? There have been all kinds of information out lately about Vitamin D. Vitamin D is viewed as one of the most important vitamins needed for the day-to-day function of our bodies. Our bodies form this essential vitamin when exposed to the sun. We then use it to [...]
This year, forget about your resolutions and just concentrate on making it a better year than 2020. There has been so much angst (and rightfully so), but let's take the bull by the horns and make 2021 a better year! First of all, you can think of things you did like about 2020. Perhaps it can be [...]
How about a truly meaningful gift for 2020? How about something truly valuable for someone you love? (You know they don’t need another tie or box of candy.) 1.

Even without pain, a misalignment of the spine, the shoulders, knees, hips, elbows, and, ankles can happen and cause imbalance, postural distortions, and dysfunctions that [...]
