Chiropractic question of the day: How many vertebrae are in a giraffe's neck?

Answer:
A giraffe has seven cervical vertebrae, which is the same number of neck bones found in humans and almost all other mammals. While their neck can be up to six feet long, each individual vertebra is significantly elongated, measuring up to 10 inches long to form their long neck.

Massive Size: Each of the seven vertebrae is heavily elongated and strengthened to support a neck that can weigh up to 600 pounds.Flexibility: These vertebrae are connected by ball-and-socket joints, allowing for a high degree of flexibility, similar to an arm joint

Intercostal rib pain can be healed with our Laser therapy (specifically Class IV or low-level laser therapy/photobiomodulation) that treats intercostal rib pain by emitting, non-invasive,,, red/near-infrared light that penetrates tissues, reduces inflammation, and speeds up healing at a cellular level. It is effective for acute pain, costochondritis, and rib injuries.

How it Works: The light stimulates mitochondria to increase ATP production, which reduces inflammation and pain, particularly in the chest wall, muscles, and ligaments.

Ours is a high-powered laser that provides deep pe*******on, often used for immediate pain relief and to improve circulation.

The treatment is painless, with patients often feeling a warm, soothing sensation as the laser is applied directly to the affected area.Benefits: It provides an alternative to medication, reduces pain rapidly, and supports faster tissue healing after injuries.

Applications: It is used for rib injuries, fractured ribs, costochondritis (cartilage inflammation), and general intercostal nerve inflammation.

Me: They are famous for their Bloody Marys.
Dr. Wally: Bloody Marys are healthy. I'll order one.
Me: No you won't. How much do you think they are?
Dr. Wally: Ten Bucks.
Me: You really are stuck in 1980. They are $31.00
Dr. Wally: That's Vegas.
Me: Well it's because they are specialty Bloody Marys.
Dr. Wally: The only "specialty" about that is the price. 😂

We are back in the office Monday afternoon at 2:00....sans a healthy specialty Bloody Mary.
