Chiropractic Saves The Party – No Interactions With Holiday Drinking
Chiropractic Saves The Party! Make no mistakes, we are not encouraging excessive holiday drinking. But we recognize that people like to live their lives, have some fun and sometimes things get a little sloppy. We can often help clean up the mess and even prevent the party from creating too many problems. We enjoy working within your lives, without having to make dramatic changes to your lifestyle except when absolutely necessary. Always recommending what’s best but also understanding that life should be fun. That said, there are many medications that should not be mixed with alcohol. During the holiday season people like to drink and they often mix medications with alcohol that can lead to great physical, mental or chemical harm. Many of the conditions that people have to sacrifice the alcohol for are conditions that respond very well to chiropractic, acupuncture, massage or a combination of the three. We hate to see anyone miss out on a party, so consider “CAM” (chiropractic Acupuncture Massage) when making party plans this winter. While these specialties don’t always allow for more partying, they may. So ask your medical doctor if NOT taking your medications puts you at risk. If you are...

Chiropractors Need Nothing. One of the reasons I became a chiropractor is because it’s old school. In 1895 when chiropractic as we know it today began, there was no technology. There were just brains and hands. Unlike dentists, surgeons, primary care doctors, pharmacists, even some physical therapists, Chiropractors need no gadgets. All we need is the knowledge to identify subluxation and the skills to correct it. Today I leave for Romania. Me and my adjusting table. Yes, I am taking technology – scanning devices and tools that help me help patients but When I was in school we were not allowed to use these in the clinic. We were trained to be old school chiropractors, to use our hands and to think on our feet. I was always extremely attracted to the idea of being able to be dropped in the middle of the jungle and set up a clinic on a dirt floor with nothing but leaves over my head. And the beautiful reality of being a chiropractor is that this is possible. I know of no medical doctor, dentist or other type of healthcare professional that has access to the healing that a chiropractor has...
