May is a wonderful time of year!  It's a time for celebrations, graduations and for gratitude.

I would like to start off my message with gratitude.  In March I underwent open heart surgery as many of my patients already know.  Less than two months later, I'm grateful that the surgery was a success and my

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful April so far and enjoying every healthy step you are taking along the way to being the best "you" ever.

There would be no visit from jolly St. Nick.

The people were sad; no gaiety sounded.

We celebrate Thanksgiving on the third Thursday of November and it's always special to spend quality time with family and friends.  It’s those cherished  times that revitalize our spirits and are so important to our sense of well-being. 

Thanksgiving is so much more than just a great meal.  It’s all about being thankful for the people in our lives and the blessings that we have. 

An ancient Chinese proverb explains that "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, “chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.”

It is estimated that 30 million children now participate in organized sports including soccer, football, swimming, gymnastics, hockey, skating and baseball. Correspondingly, as participation increases, injuries increase. Sports injuries to young people now exceed the occurrence of infectious disease.
