Cold & Flu Season

With the coming of winter, and cold and flu season, it's a good time to include a little organic, unrefined coconut oil in our diet every day. Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which is anti-viral.

Activator Chiropractic

Activator Method is my Chiropractic specialty. It's the most popular type of low-force adjusting, is very precise, and I use it to balance the whole body. I invite you to EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE of Activator Chiropractic!

Scoliosis

Scoliosis--a sideways spinal curve--can, if caught early enough, and if related to pelvic distortion, be corrected. I've had success with this, using ACTIVATOR Chiropractic adjustments and exercises.

Neck Pain

Neck pain plagued me after five (5!) whiplash injuries in my youth. Good chiropractic care helped me live a normal life. Now it's my turn to give back, as a Chiropractor, to help my patients who come to me in pain.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis: What can ACTIVATOR Chiropractic do to help? Yesterday I treated a patient with it. I balanced his entire body, relieving joint fixations and correcting misalignments that were causing abnormal joint stresses. Getting those arthritic joints normally positioned and moving better helps relieve pain. And he'll benefit more now from daily exercise. I LOVE what I do!

Low Back Pain

Low back pain is often related to distortion of the pelvis. With Activator Chiropractic, pelvic distortion can be corrected quickly, and home care counseling helps this to stabilize.

Kneecap Troubles

If the kneecap is misaligned, there is abnormal wear-&-tear underneath it, which can contribute to arthritis of the knee. It's easy to correct with ACTIVATOR Chiropractic, and special exercises help the correction to hold.

Neck Pain and Tension

Neck pain and tension can be a difficult cycle to break. My Chiropractic approach is to adjust misalignments, release fixations, and share home care advice: ergonomics, posture (including sleep), etc., tools patients can use on their own to get relief.

Headaches

Headaches may be related to problems in the neck or in the cranial bones. Gentle, precise corrections of misalignments or fixations in the neck or occiput often bring relief. The cranial rhythms should also be checked.

Keys to Healthy Sitting

Keys to healthy sitting include:

---both feet flat on the floor,

---knees slightly lower than the level of the hips,

---back resting comfortably against your chair,

---keep your head in line with center of gravity of your body 

      (avoid head-forward postures).

One of the most important features of whatever chair you use is that you can change the height of the seat.

Chronic Pelvic / Low Back Pain

If you have chronic pelvic or low back pain, it is critical to look for what is happening at your feet (called your "pedal foundation"). If you pronate or have flat arches, this reverberates all the way up through your legs, knees, hips, pelvis, and into the low back. Unless your feet are addressed, a treatment plan for your pelvic or low back pain may not be successful.

Your FRAMEWORK

Think of your bones & joints as your FRAMEWORK---the essential supports that the rest of your body attaches to, is contained by, and depends on. When that framework is distorted or skewed, or some joints are "stuck," affecting movement, your body is out of balance. You may feel tension or pain. My specialty is full-body balancing, of your framework, to restore full & comfortable functioning.

Functional Short Leg

"Functional" Short Leg
