⚡ HUGE stat for anyone with a work injury:

A study of over 38,000 occupational back injury cases found:

Workers with similar injuries who saw a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) FIRST were
👉 28 TIMES LESS LIKELY to end up having spinal surgery
than those whose first contact was a surgeon (MD).

Early conservative care works.
Skip the scalpel when possible.

If you or someone you know got hurt on the job, make your first call to a chiropractor — your spine (and your wallet) will thank you.

This week’s tip: STANDING (yes, even in the water!)

👉 Keep your head LEVEL
👉 Earholes in line with your shoulders
👉 Don’t let your head drift forward, backward, or sideways

That little “swimmer’s slouch” or forward-head posture adds tons of extra stress to your neck and upper back — and it follows you out of the pool and into your day.

Stand tall in the water, stand tall on land — your spine will thank you! 💪

🎠 100 years ago:
Everyone owned a horse 🐎
Only the rich had cars 🚗

Today:
Everyone owns a car 🚙
Only the rich own horses 🏇

How the tables have turned! 😏

The ultimate flex went from "I have an automobile" to "I have a 1200 lb animal that eats $500/month and needs its own doctor."

Which era had it better? 🤔

“December 7, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy.”

84 years ago today, the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor thrust America into World War II and changed the course of history forever.

2,403 Americans lost their lives. Countless acts of heroism were born in the flames.

We remember the sailors, soldiers, Marines, airmen, and civilians who faced that Sunday morning with unimaginable courage. Their sacrifice secured the freedom we enjoy today.

Never forget.

Stop following the lies of "high cholesterol!"

🫀 Your cholesterol numbers matter MORE than you think – but, it’s not about “total cholesterol”!

These simple ratios are better predictors of heart disease risk than the basic numbers alone:

✅ Total Cholesterol / HDL
• < 3.1 → Ideal
• 3.1–4.0 → Adequate
• > 4.0 → Increased Risk

✅ LDL / HDL
• < 2.0 → Ideal
• 2.0–3.0 → Adequate
• > 3.0 → Increased Risk

✅ Total Cholesterol / Triglycerides
• Around 2:1 → Ideal

The lower the ratios, the better your heart loves you ❤️

Quick check: Grab your latest bloodwork and do the math. What are YOUR ratios?

From all of us at Gray Chiropractic...

🦃 **Happy Thanksgiving!**

May your turkey be juicy, your family arguments brief, and your spine stay perfectly aligned through every awkward hug and post-meal couch collapse.

We’re thankful for YOU—our patients who keep coming back (even after that third helping of pie).

Now go loosen your belt... and your vertebrae. 😏🍽️

😂 Ever notice how some people fight their adjustments the exact same way they fight rock-paper-scissors?

They tense up, overthink every move, and basically try to OUTSMART your hands 🤦‍♂️

Newsflash: Intentionally losing at rock-paper-scissors is just as hard as trying to win…
and intentionally staying stiff on the chiropractic table is just as hard as relaxing!

Your spine isn’t trying to beat you in a best-of-three. Just breathe, let go, and let us win this round for you. 😉🪨

Your body will thank you (and so will my forearms).

💥 Low back pain isn’t just painful — it’s EXPENSIVE.

Americans lose **at least $50–100 BILLION+ every year** in direct medical costs, missed work, and lost productivity from low back pain alone. (And recent studies show the real number is now even higher — we’re talking hundreds of billions when you factor in everything.)

The good news? Research consistently shows **chiropractic care is one of the most cost-effective solutions** out there — proven to get people back to work faster, reduce disability, and cut down on expensive drugs, injections, and surgeries.

Why spend more to feel worse when you can spend less and actually get better? 🙌

If back pain is costing you time, money, or joy — let’s fix it the smart way.

Big news from a decade ago that's still hugely relevant today! 🏥💙

In 2015, **The Joint Commission** — the gold-standard accreditor for over 20,000 U.S. healthcare organizations (including EVERY major hospital) — officially revised its pain management standards to explicitly include **non-pharmacological approaches** like **chiropractic care**, acupuncture, massage, osteopathic manipulation, and relaxation therapy as valued options.

Translation: The same body that holds hospitals accountable now recognizes what chiropractors have known for over a century — safe, drug-free care works for pain, and it belongs right alongside (or even before) medications.

It’s awesome to see the medical establishment finally catching up! 🙌

If you’re dealing with pain, why not start with the approach hospitals are now encouraged to offer?

11/19/2025

Did you know? Back in 2017, the American College of Physicians (ACP) — the largest medical specialty organization in the US — officially updated their guidelines for acute and chronic low back pain.

Their #1 recommendation: Start with **non-invasive, non-drug treatments** like heat, massage, acupuncture, or **spinal manipulation (chiropractic care)** BEFORE reaching for over-the-counter or prescription meds.

That's right — even major medical doctors agree: Chiropractic is a smart, evidence-based first step for most back pain sufferers! 💪🩻

Why risk side effects when safer options work? Ask your doctor if chiropractic is right for you — or better yet, come see us directly!

💡 **Did You Know?**

Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the **safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies** for back pain and musculoskeletal issues.
