Foot-Hand Massage Techniques
May 7, 2010Don’t Let the Big Game Turn You Into a Big Pain
February 5, 2010The “big game” – as we’re legally allowed to refer to it – is this weekend. Football is great and this game should be excellent.
You know how it will go: we’ll jump up and down and yell at the TV, pile onto furniture meant for far fewer people and give “high fives” to anyone willing to accept them. All that random motion can cause a number of aches and pains the day after the game.
Fortunately, the lion’s share of the injuries are muscular in nature and just require some time to heal. If you find that backache lasting longer than a few days, give me a call – as all that celebrating just might have put your back out of alignment. Happy “big game.”

Chiropractors Make a Lot of Noise but We Don’t Actually Crack Your Back
October 14, 2009Chiropractors might make a lot of “noise” when performing an adjustment and it may seem like we’re about to “break” you but fear not!
To clarify a common misunderstanding: chiropractors don’t “crack your back.” That popping sound is a gas bubble being released from between two joints that have been coaxed into alignment. A study published in 2002 found that patients with low back pain treated by chiropractors showed greater improvement after one month than those treated by physicians. That’s why we do it.
Over time, chiropractic adjustments can make a big difference in your spinal health. So, go ahead and call us “back crackers” if you like, but get an adjustment and you’ll discover what all the “popping” is about.
