As we scroll through the internet, we may hear of a different magic diet, lifesaving drug or new procedure that could be the next big thing. These tips or tricks are usually nothing more than a quick fix. But what we are most excited about though, is that more and more doctors and health care professionals are talking about the promotion of health and not just the prevention or the treatment of disease. This is the approach chiropractic has been talking about for over 125 years! Tune in to listen!

It seems a simple enough test: Sit down on the floor and try to get back up without using your hands or knees.  Might not be as easy as it may seem. This sitting-rising exercise was designed to predict mortality in middle-aged and older people. Today we discuss how this quick test can assess your overall flexibility, mobility, core strength and balance.

As students worldwide return to school, the time spent on a device or laptop is increasing which causes havoc on their posture. While our devices can be fantastic tools for entertainment and education, the postural effects are something all parents should be aware of.  In this episode, we discuss why kids should also be doing postural exercises to ward off the negative effects poor posture can have on the body.

Posture, books, diet changes and earplugs... This was a fun show to record... we had too many options to talk about so we decided to record a Random Show! Listen to find out which is the best posture exercise we recommend, what purchase under $100 most helped us over the last 6 months, and what diet changes we have incorporated over the last 6 months. Enjoy!

As we age, our goals in the gym should no longer be focused on training for peak performance, but for longevity and functional movement. (ie: picking up groceries, bending down to play with grandkids, walking, traveling etc.) In this episode, we discuss the principles of exercise and aging to ensure you can age and continue to move gracefully.

It’s not always the aging process. More likely, it’s the cumulative effect of years of neglect. Spinal stenosis is one such condition. This is a narrowing of the canal housing the spinal cord. In the neck it’s called cervical stenosis. In the lower back lumbar stenosis. It’s rarely diagnosed before the age of 60. In this episode we explain what spinal stenosis is, what symptoms are associated with it and how exercises, adjustments and traction can help.

Ever wonder what those weird tables are in the middle of the adjusting area? We explain what Traction is and how it can be of benefit.

We have heard how terrified patients were before walking into the office not knowing what was going to happen during their first appointment. They have heard horror stories of what could happen... So we decided to break down the misconceptions, myths and truths about what actually happens during a first visit to our office.  (No, we won't jump on you and break bones...)

You know when a headache is coming on: it may start as a throb in the back of your neck. You might feel it in your temples, behind your eyes or in your forehead. What do you do? Pop a pill and hope for the best? We’ve got news for you that might change your mind. The latest research shows that your neck curve can play an essential role in your likelihood to suffer from headaches. Having the proper curve in your neck means that you have less of a chance of being a headache sufferer. Listen to know more!

We often hear from our patients that they feel like they are getting older… (I even heard it the other day from a patient who was 19 years old!) But is sickness and disease normal as we age? Or is it just that our body isn't working properly from years of poor posture, lack of sleep, poor diet, and lack of exercise. What if we are able to restore a good environment to our body... what would/could happen to our health? (like restoring water/food/and sunshine to a plant!)
