I get asked all of the time about INVERSION TABLES, so I thought I would share some thoughts about them.

While inversion tables are generally considered safe and sometimes helpful, you need to be aware of some risks associated with their use:

1. Obviously the inversion table will increase the pressure to your head, neck and upper body generally. So, if you have:
* high blood pressure
* heart disease
* glaucoma or any other eye disease
* problems with your inner ear
* problems with your lungs
* on blood thinners
* pregnant
You might want to reconsider using your inversion table.

Inversion table therapy has also been known to break blood vessels, cause bleeding in the retinas in your eyes and has been sometimes associated with headaches and blurred vision.

And finally, believe it or not, some people have actually fallen off of their inversion table when it malfunctioned (broke) - apparently that is not that uncommon of an occurrence!

It is a good idea to get clearance from you P*P before you jump right on that inversion table!

Dear Patients,

It is with great EXCITEMENT that we would like share with you a BRAND NEW addition to our office. We are pleased to announce that we are now part of the LARGEST group of branded, NON-SURGICAL Spinal Disc Centers known as “DISC Centers of America”.

With an emphasis on spinal disc care, utilizing an AMAZING medical technology knows as “Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression” we are able to take care of patients suffering from lower back pain, neck pain, arm and leg pain, sciatica, numbness, tingling, pins and needles and more.

These patients are often diagnosed with a degenerative, bulging or herniated spinal disc and often have been taking dangerous opioid medications or been told that they may need a risky epidural spinal injection or even costly back surgery.

So often, if we see the patient earlier in this process, we can afford them a much safer, much gentler, much easier and much more “cost effective” NON-SURGICAL option.

With over 200+ centers worldwide, our “NEW” DISC Centers of America division of our clinic is simply and ADDITION to our already successful chiropractic practice and, as we continue to GROW, we will continue to provide you and your family, the HIGHEST standard in spinal disc care.

As a SPECIAL gift to our patients we are providing a FREE spinal disc consultation (which will include an x-ray and/or MRI review if these studies have been done on you) by simply calling our office within the NEXT 7 days. Our phone line is 417-667-3456.

We continue to grow because we care.

I wanted to let folks know that we are hiring at the chiropractic office, this time for a full time (30+ hours per week) position. Duties will include a little bit of everything from answering the phone, completing paperwork, data entry, some accounting and even some light cleaning. Our new team member must be able to excel at details, be able to type, follow directions and enjoy good 'people skills'. We are willing to train on the job; if you have no experience then starting pay will be minimum wage with the opportunity to increase your pay as you become experienced and require little supervision from us. If you do have experience, and require only a little training, then starting pay may be negotiable.
If interested, please email me your resume, with references to:

It has sure been a week for this. Just a reminder for those injured backs out there: DO NOT PUT HEAT on your swollen back for the first 48 hours after your injury. USE ICE!

And when you do use ICE, only use it for 10-15 minutes at a time. (Ice has been shown to actually CAUSE swelling ("Hunter's Reflex") if you leave it applied longer than 20 minutes).
