The developer of Chiropractic said “there is no telling how what you say, think, or do today can affect the lives of millions tomorrow”. I call this the wonderful life effect. You remember- when George Bailey, down and desperate, is shown how his integrity and compassion for others has had a dramatic impact on others. …

As a Chiropractor intensely concerned with human movement patterns and postural deviations, I am constantly observing other people as the live, work and play. Recently I have noticed a rapid increase in forward head carry, or text neck, in all ages. Â While I used to consider it a middle aged, or older, phenomenon, I am …

Sometimes I realize I sound like a broken record- professing the same concepts and using the same stories to illustrate a point. There were quite a few parables that my children, and Mary, would roll their eyes at- and then recite the ending.  We need to hear things over and over for them to become ingrained …

Some people say the American dream is over. That the opportunity to make a successful life in the US is more difficult then ever before in history. Yet people do it every day- across all economic strata, in all fields, and at every day. If we want to become the strongest possible version of ourselves …

America- the land of the free? Since 9/11 our world has changed and we have seen many of our civil liberties taken away.  American citizens can be detained indefinitely, we can be subject to warrantless searches, and we are subject to continual monitoring. Many people say if you have nothing to hide why should you care? I …
