In Awe of Innate Intelligence
In Awe of Innate Intelligence
I just recently experienced my first fracture. I was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture in my ankle. An avulsion fracture is where the tip of a bone (where ligaments attach) pulls off in an extreme stretch in the area. Left behind is a piece of bone that can sometimes cause issues, depending what happens to it. I was informed that if I treated it properly, it would likely heal on its own. (Of…

Give credit where credit is due.
Give credit where credit is due.
It is very easy to take the credit when a patient feels better. Especially when the patient blames you for a pain that goes away, and many chiropractors will even brag. “We make pain go away!”
It’s a lie.
Chiropractors do not remove pain in any way. Chiropractors don’t treat pain, take away pain, or lessen pain. So, why does a patient get better when under care at Adjust?
There is an intelligent…

Healing takes time
This statement may seem obvious, however understanding this simple law of life should allow us to make decisions that are better for our health. Let me explain..
In today’s society, we want to feel better as quick as possible (notice I said, “we”, because I include myself). Of course, feeling better is a great thing. It allows you do to the things that you couldn’t do previously. Often, this is…

What are results to you?
What are results to you?
We talk a lot about results with our patients. However, what I have learned over the past 17 years in practice is that the term, “results” is relative. One person sees results as simply relief in their back pain, while another would like to run a marathon! So, the differences can be profound from one to the next. Not only are there differences in patient’s definition of results, there are…

Do I need an Exam?
Do I need an Exam?
Do you ever notice how no chiropractic office evaluates each patient the same?
Some offices want X-rays performed, some offices want blood testing, some just “feel” the spine. Truly, there is no consistency when it comes to the practice of chiropractic. We believe this is the core reason why chiropractic is under-utilized in our
In deciding how to best care for every patient that comes to seek…

What did you just say?
Do you ever get 5 minutes into a conversation until you realize that you and the other individual are talking about something completely different? This is sorta what happened to me the other day, except it happened on a blog. Let me explain..
The subject of the blog was how the CDC is scaring the population with regards to the Ebola Virus. The blog went on to say that Ebola virus has been…

Respect you
Understanding the innate power of each of us is impossible to completely comprehend. However, we can respect the amazing abilities our bodies seem to posses, whether it is:
respiration
circulation
body temperature regulation
reproduction
(insert one of the many amazing qualities here)
No matter your religion, your social status, your race, or sex; you have an innate intelligence within you. This…

5-steps for a fever
5-steps for a fever
We can all agree: It is important that your doctor follows their ownrecommendations. Meaning, as a patient, I would like to know that my doctor is giving me the same recommendations that they would give their mother, daughter or best friend. I demand that there should be no discrimination in care between patient and family. If this behavior is not standard with an individual doctor, it would be…

Signs of Devolution
Technology has advanced to heights not imaginable by our grandparents. Advances have been not only significant, but also seem to happen weekly. In fact, when a new technology emerges, we are seldom surprised by how it’s remarkable technology. For instance, wireless charging of batteries. Personally, this is a technology I cannot wrap my head around: Why does it not shock me? LOL

The beginnings of Chiropractic
The beginnings of Chiropractic
As an individual that respects the roots of any entity, in this case, Chiropractic, I enjoy learning the beginnings. In this case, there was no chiropractic profession, prior to 1895. People had one choice when it came to their health:
ALLOPATHY: the treatment of disease by conventional means, i.e., with drugs having opposite effects to the symptoms.
It all began for chiropractic with the first…

Procrastination
The idea of getting a beach worthy body can be compared to waiting to retire to care about your health. By the time June hits, it is a little late to cut the 10 pm trips to the fridge!
Same can be said of waiting to get healthy. Procrastination. We all procrastinate, some more than others. However, there are some things that one should never procrastinate:
A smoke alarm sounding off in your home.

No doubt, an event could have occurred 3 days ago that caused the condition in their body, that is producing the symptoms they are coming to me for at this moment. However, a majority of the time, this is hardly the case. Here is the most likely truth that…

Healthy or sick?
Our bodies have an amazing ability: adaptation.
Adaptation means that you (without thinking about it much) are able to change to suit the conditions of the environment. Take the simplest of adaptation signs: shivering.
Assuming the temperature drops (as it did just this morning here), your body uses sensors that sense this temperature change. This information is then sent along the communication…

Prepared

When you think of what the core of chiropractic can do for you, it is really about being prepared: Prepared to fight the stress of life, whether that be emotional, physical or chemical in nature.
When thinking of preparation, the number one priority is to…

How much time will you give your health?
In this day of advanced electronic communication, we seem to be busier than ever. There is always an opportunity to be interrupted. Someone can easily reach you in a moment’s notice to get what THEY need. However, who is taking care of you?
Unfortunately, I believe we give our phones more attention than we do our health. However, this will have terrible…

Wellness is being re-defined
Wellness is being re-defined
The basic definitions of words that chiropractors utilize are often misunderstood by the general population. For instance, “wellness”.For a long time, I was not able to understand why my conversations with words such as these were misinterpreted by others. Unfortunately, there are some very large companies that have hijacked the very meaning of the term, wellness. Let’s go to a source. From…
