Assuming you’re getting adjusted :), this is especially for you. If you’re not seeing a Family Chiropractor, do that first! The 1st thing many people run to is a sleeping pill.

Have You Set Boundaries in Your Life? AKA: Do You Stand Up For Yourself?

In my last post, I asked patients to Not Make Me Their Drug. I heard back from many who asked me, “I hope you weren’t talking about me” or “Whoa, you sounded pissed”. I’ve learned that when I’m setting a new boundary (in the process of my values being challenged), I go through a week…

Headaches and Chronic Pain Changed Through Chiropractic

Sarah is a perfect example of what happens when we focus on ourselves. She came to us with headaches and migraines (even though she was medicated), chronic neck, upper back and low back pain…and was agitated and irritated, along with always being tired because she didn’t feel well.
