Medicare = GOOD Insurance!

The Medicare deductible for chiropractic is just $166 per year. Where else can you get insurance that covers chiropractic care of the spine for such a low deductible? Be sure to inform your chiropractor as soon as you are covered under Medicare.

Kyphosis

An accentuated forward curve in the mid-to-upper back, resulting in a “stooped” posture, is called a kyphosis, and is a frequent accompaniment to aging. Sometimes called a “dowager’s hump” because it occurs in women with osteoporosis when the front edges of the vertebrae begin to collapse, it is often progressive, and may become irreversible. Maintaining good bone density, good spinal alignment,  good posture, and  strong posterior muscles can prevent it. Yoga can be an excellent antidote, if started early enough. 

Build A Nest Box For Spring Birds

Cavity nesting birds--those that like hollows for their nests, such as wrens, swallows, bluebirds, and some sparrows---often can’t find a vacant hole in a dead tree, a crack in a building wall, or other natural cavity in which to make their nest. We can provide nest boxes to help. Learn about the kinds of boxes to make and where to put them at https://www.audubon.org/news/build-nest-box-welcome-spring-birds.  Spring migrants will soon arrive, ready to nest and raise their babies.

Why I am a Chiropractor

Five whiplash injuries in my youth---from auto accidents, none of them my fault---led me to become a Chiropractor. Good Chiropractic care relieved my pain and helped prevent degenerative changes that might have severely limited my function later in life. I'm grateful, and I love being able to help others as a Doctor of Chiropractic.

Full-body balancing

Comfortable, low-force, full-body balancing---it's what I do, as an Advanced Proficiency Rated ACTIVATOR Chiropractor. It's perfect for all ages, and especially good for people who might be fearful of Chiropractic.

Roasted Roots

Making "Roasted Roots" this rainy day. Beets, yams, carrots smell great in the oven. These richly colored veggies are chock full of hearty winter nutrients.

Care for Feet

What's happening with your feet may be harming your knees, low back, and all the rest of you. Good orthotics can be part of the solution, along with full-body balancing with ACTIVATOR chiropractic. That's my specialty.

Distorted Pelvis

Low back pain may be due to a distorted pelvis, which not only hurts, but makes an unstable foundation for all the rest of the body. I can fix that with ACTIVATOR chiropractic adjustments.

Pain in the Neck

Ever notice how often getting stressed gives us a "pain in the neck?" Lots of us store our stress in our upper back and neck. Keep your neck and back warm, relieve your stress however you can, and consider low-force ACTIVATOR chiropractic. It helps!

Jammed Rib?

Back pain with a deep breath can be a jammed rib. I correct that precisely and quickly with ACTIVATOR adjustments.

Ergonomic counseling

My patients get ergonomic counseling, a tool they can use on to help them stay pain-free. Empowering my patients is part of every treatment plan.

Stop Those Headaches!

Stop those headaches!--The solution can be adjusting the upper cervical spine and balancing the cranial rhythms. It works!

How long will this take?

‎"How long will this take?" Patients want to know. The answer: everyone is different; there is no set formula in my office. Some people only need one treatment and one follow-up. Others may need more. Each patient is evaluated as an individual.

Knees

We depend on them, and when they hurt with every step, we start to realize how much we need them. Looks like it's going to be "knee week" in my office---several patients with knee problems. With ACTIVATOR, I make precise, directional adjustments to the knee. This, along with some rest and nutritional support, often solves the problem.
