Chiropractic has always been a part of my life, but figuring out that it was my calling took me much longer than I would like to admit. When I was younger, my dream was to become a zoo keeper! My passion was always for animals. But, as a young athlete, I was reintroduced to the power of [...]
One condition with kids we see frequently in our office is Otitis media or ear infections. One 2 year old who was brought in by his grandma was a dramatic case. He had already been put on 8 courses of antibiotics and had 2 surgeries with tubes inserted into his ears. When I examined him, he [...]
Often when you think about chiropractic care for an older adult it is for back or neck pain but often chiropractic can help other conditions as well. One of my favorite examples of this is a new patient named Marie. She had come in for shoulder issues but one morning came in and said “Hey Doc, [...]
A Chiropractic Miracle? In the last blog, we talked about one of my favorite patients who had been under a lifetime of chiropractic care and lifestyle. She lived a long, healthy life. But sometimes patients don’t experience chiropractic care until later. Even patients who haven’t had chiropractic care until their 70’s or 80’s can benefit! Jim, [...]
A patient asked me yesterday if it was too late for chiropractic to help her 90-year-old father. I told her no! We have many patients in their 80’s and 90’s who respond excellently to chiropractic care. I told her our office has seen babies as young as three hours old to people over 100 years. She [...]

At that time, I had a 3 year old son and I was working at a hospital full time nights as a nurses aide in Labor and Delivery and [...]
Did you know the first chiropractic adjustment wasn’t for back or neck pain but for deafness? I know, it sounds too strange to be true, as we all think of chiropractors as doctors who relieve us of back pain. There is so much more to it. The spine holds every nerve center in your body. Any [...]
About a year ago, I had a new patient who came into the office because of infertility. She had read some studies on how chiropractic can help resolve this issue. (There has been much research done in this area, including studies documented with the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation). Within about three months of care, she became pregnant. [...]
This month we all focus on gratitude. This is an easy focus for me because it is part of my daily life. Every evening when I leave work, I express gratitude. How could I not? I have been gifted with the best career possible. Every day I walk into a beautiful office with the most wonderful positive [...]
For the last two weekends, I have been in seminars. One was on current research about the opioid problem, and one on nutrition. For the next few blogs, I want to share some of that information. In the first seminar, the doctor shared numerous studies on the reduction of opioid use in patients who had even a [...]
