Same old routine? Change it!

We are creatures of… habit. If we want to grow we must… change.


They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. If you keep on doing what you’re doing, you’ll just keep getting what you’re getting! So try changing it up a bit every once in awhile. You can start small with some of these suggestions:





 • Take a different route to work – Is your car on autopilot every morning when you leave for work? Try taking a different route and maybe you’ll see something you’ve never seen before!

• Try using your non-dominant hand – If you’re right-handed, try to eat, write, open a door or jar, dust or vacuum with your left hand. You might actually find it entertaining!

• Re-arrange your furniture – Have you lived in the same house for umpteen years and the furniture has never been moved at all, in any room? Start with one room and move the furniture around – you’ll discover that may just get a fresh perspective and hide a well-worn area of your rug!

• Try one new healthy food a week – Doesn’t eating the some things week in and week out get stale? The Internet is loaded with healthy, weight-conscious recipes – try one on for size!

• Get up a half hour earlier each morning – There’s lots of things you could do with that time – read, meditate, watch the sun come up, get a jump start on your email and make your children a hot breakfast.

What’s Bringing on Your Back Pain?

Struggling to find the source of your back pain? Schedule a visit with our practice. Many people with sudden, acute back pain think, “But gosh, I didn’t even do anything!” What many folks don’t know, or understand, is that it’s not always a case of what you did five minutes ago, or what you did yesterday, or even what you did last week that’s causing the current problem; it’s more a case of “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” no pun intended! Discovering the Cause Sometimes it’s chronic stress that wreaks havoc on your nervous system and finally causes your back to “go out” or a “pain in your neck” because of the strain of carrying the weight of all that stress on your back and neck. Let’s use an everyday example to demonstrate. You go to the local eatery and put your purchase on your bank debit card. All of a sudden, bells and whistles go off because you didn’t have enough money in your account to cover that charge. It’s not this charge that “broke the bank,” it’s all t...

Why choose chiropractic?

If things aren't moving the way they are supposed to, it will have a negative impact on your ability to function. That's why most people find routine chiropractic care to be very beneficial. Physical or psychological stress, accidents or bad positions can affect the musculoskeletal system. They can cause pain or local deterioration of nerve function, and affect vital organs and respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems.​Chiropractic focuses on correcting the cause of your problem, not just on suppressing your symptoms. Ultimately, the goal of receiving chiropractic adjustment should be to restore the body to its natural state of optimal health.

Does Scoliosis Automatically Mean Surgery?

Does Scoliosis Automatically Mean Surgery? A routine school exam reveals your child has scoliosis. Naturally you're concerned.  Children aged 10-15 are the largest group affected by scoliosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine. About 80% of scoliosis cases are idiopathic. Which means the cause isn't known. Idiopathic scoliosis may have hereditary factors. Scoliosis afflicts around 2 to 3 percent of the population. Children aged 10 to 15 are the largest age group. And it seems girls are more affected than boys. While common in this age and gender group, a growing number of adults have scoliosis. This often stems from trauma to the spine followed by years of neglect. Congenital scoliosis occurs before birth. These deformities are often from partially-formed vertebrae. Or vertebrae that are fused together. Among children, "wait and see" is often the first-line of traditional treatment. If the scoliosis has progressed beyond a 45° – 50°...
