Before and after a treatment. Did I manipulate/adjust him? NO.. Did I use soft tissue or fascial stretching? NO

If you are scared of the chiropractor or being adjusted that's fine..I have many other techniques to treat you.

This patient has been in chronic pain for years after multiple car accidents. This is just his second visit and in 15 minutes you can see the changes in muscle tone and posture. Lots of "wow's" following when he saw the picture as well as moved around. Of course he has homework

Spending this weekend putting in some time and energy to learn more ways to help each and every one of you. This course had already begun to blow my mind and reemphasize my support for positioning and mobility of the human body.
This course offers manual techniques that can achieve better and longer lasting results WITHOUT a crack/adjustment. If you are nervous or scared about that..there IS a better way! Tune in soon for some upcoming announcements!

Here I am demonstrating the motions of the scapula. Motor dysfunction or poor control is often the case in people who sit at desks all day or who have spent a lot of the time working on their front beach body and forgotten their back (hint your back is more than your Lats and shrugging!)
The scapular serves as a major attachment point and stabilizer for the shoulder. It connects the arm to the rib cage in the back. Poor motion here gets transmitted to the T spine or to the GH (glenohumeral) joint. Do you really want this to be dysfunctional when moving/throwing a weighted object?

Part 2 will demonstrate a basic movement pattern to learn to assess yourself as well as a good warm up for the scapula!

Remember: Maximize Movement, Optimize Health!

Here are some common compensations for the shoulder. If you fit one of these categories then you have a dysfunctional shoulder! This is geared to the throwers but is 100% applicable to overhead lifters and squatters. Come see me to get this fixed and prevent shoulder issues down the road!

A great quick read about some typical myths about back pain and some tips to work on preventing. A big part of my practice is to educate the patient on why their back hurts and give them some simple strategies in their daily life that can help ease it.
This article is from "the spine guru" Dr. Stuart McGill and has some great, simple, effective, and easy strategies to help combat your discomfort!

Any questions or if these strategies aren't quite doing the trick, then a visit to a trained back specialist (like myself) can be very beneficial!

Over half of the patients that this spine biomechanics professor sees were injured by personal trainers. Stu McGill shares the seven shocking myths that every personal trainer needs to debunk if they want to keep clients safe.

This is a great short video that helps answer a few questions and concerns you may have with chiropractic care.

I have based my practice on a very similar model of care for you, my patients, as I believe it to lead to the best outcomes for you.

Rocktape is a very useful tool that provides relief and body awareness between treatments.

Check back soon for an announcement about using Rocktape in April!

So much of new age "disease" is caused by poor eating habits. Nutrition is a complex and confusing subject..what is a super food this week is the next killer a month later... If you are struggling changing your eating habits take it 1 step at a time..start with 1 particular meal in the week..you WILL NOT be an overnight success in nutrition...but take every success in stride with your "failures"
This is a simple thing to start immediately... cutting sugar intake down.
Everything in moderation!

Based on research from the American College of Physicians, non-drug therapies should be sought out first for low back pain!
