For those who are celiac or avoiding wheat and gluten for various health reasons, here is a handy safe candy list compiled by Celiac.org. There is a specific list for Halloween on this page.

Please note sometimes some candies are gluten free but seasonal shapes might be made on shared lines (Reese's cups has been an example of this). Depending on your sensitivity and need, you might need to examine that as well.

For parents new to dietary restrictions, one recommendation is to buy some candy you know is safe that your child enjoys - then they can trade in items that aren't safe or you're unsure of. Some people use a Switch Witch to trade out candy and give small gifts instead- for all candy or just some designated ones that aren't safe.

As always there is the option of the Teal Pumpkin for non food treats as well.

Even food holidays can be fun for those with Dietary Restrictions, but it does take a little pre-planning and being creative.

Migraine headaches are classified as a primary headache disorder. Migraines are three times more common among women, especially in their premenopausal years. While migraines are still not fully understood (meaning they are likely underdiagnosed and undertreated), the available data show they are

The neck is a very flexible joint as it needs to function in many different planes. With the wider range of flexibility there is a trade off with stability. Issues with stability or range of motion can contribute to pain.

Neck pain is one of the most frequent reasons patients seek chiropractic care, second to low back pain. One study noted that neck pain was the primary cause for work absence among 25.5 million American adults in 2012. When considering lost productivity, disability, and healthcare spending, neck p

One way to be inclusive on Halloween for those with Dietary Restrictions is the Teal Pumpkin project. A teal pumpkin can show kids that items should be safe for almost all needs. Some examples are glow sticks or any glow in the dark items, bouncing balls, sticky sliders, erasers.

If your allergies or restrictions allow safe consumption of some communal candy, check out our earlier post from Celiac.org which has a list of gluten free Halloween candies. For other allergies doing an internet search can be really helpful. We know many people also need to avoid things like dairy. There are also anaphylatic allergies, like peanut exposure, to consider as well.

By putting a teal pumpkin on your doorstep, you let kids know that your house is food allergy-friendly.

Your back isn't just an isolated point on your body. From your toes up, so many parts must work together to keep the spine operating at an optimal level.

It’s estimated that 84% of individuals will experience at least one episode of low back pain during their lifetime, with 23% developing chronic low back pain. While dysfunction in the lumbar region is typically thought to be the cause of a patient’s low back pain, there’s a grow

The hips, pelvis, and low back arent just close in proximity, they also interact when you do the most basic things like stand and walk.

Among the roles the hip joints play in the human body, perhaps none is as important as the ability to perform everyday activities like standing, walking, and running. Of course, these actions involve multiple other body parts, so it’s no surprise that when a patient presents with hip pain,
