I believe the greatest misconception that the public holds for Chiropractic care may be not understanding just how important our nervous system is to our daily health! Our nervous system includes the brain and its network of nerves that first travel down within the spinal column and exit from between each of our 24 vertebral bones that make up our human body supporting column. Each spinal nerve exits the spinal column between the vertebral segments both left, and right; both forward and backward. The fibers forward go to our visceral organs like the heart, lungs, stomach, and those backward to the muscles of the back, arms, and legs. Our brain controls every cell, tissue, and organ in our bodies, by conducting electrical signals down the spinal cord and out through every spinal nerve. Think of the wiring from your home's electrical service panel throughout your home to every receptacle outlet and appliance. When the brain sends the controling information to your heart, and that signal is received at 100%, the heart beats rhythmically, symmetrically, and continuously, to move our blood carrying oxygen throughout the entire body. What would you suppose the outcome would be if the heart only received 40% of the brain's signal? Post your ideas!

A study published in the Journal of American Medical Association in 2021, JAMA Network Open examined the effectiveness of spinal manipulation for chronic low back pain. The research found that chiropractic adjustments led to signicant improvements in pain and function compared to standard medical care. Another key study published in the Journal of Pain, in 2020, indicated that patients receiving chiropractic treatment for neck pain reported better outcomes and satisfaction compared to those who received only medication. We offer safe, effective management of chronic spinal conditions that frequently limit quality of life. If you are frustrated with low back pain or neck pain holding you back from enjoying life give us a call at 231-777-2622 and let us help you get back on the happy pathway to health!

From a spinal perspective, as you move into a brand new day, where do you feel tightness, stiffness, or achiness? How many headaches did you have last week? More than 70% of all headaches are the result of irritation to the nerves in your neck region. It may surprise you that tension in your neck can result from tightness, stiffness, and/or achiness in other regions of the spine since each and every vertebral segment in the spinal column communicates with every other vertebral segment through motion. Chiropractic care gently relieves the build up of stress and tension in the joints of the spine. We are here to help. Give Kelsey or Skye a call for your initial evaluation or if you are an existing patient, let's keep you moving at your best, this is your life to live!

We have received many questions to which Medicare Advantage plan is best suited for patients whose health is strong, proactive, and always ready for adventure? Think Priority Health Medicare. They may be the only administrator who still offer maintenance visits that do not have to meet the clinical criteria of what is considered Active Care. If you have any questions, call Kelsey at 231-777-2622. Humana no longer covers maintenance care.

Autumn is here and so begins the seasonal ritual of handling the yard’s accumulation of fallen leaves. Many people will repetitively rake, bend, and lift. As our spine accumulates wear and tear over years and decades, its ability to move begins become stiff, rigid, and painful. Rather than react to the pain by scheduling a Chiropractic treatment, wouldn’t it make sense to prepare the spine for the rigorous work by scheduling an appointment first? That’s being both wise and proactive! Give us a call today.

When you maintain your care with chiropractic adjustments, you're less likely to flare up. Set your body up for success, keep up on your maintenance care!

A follow up to the 1 month infant girl who demonstrated Colic, she now feeds consistently and may now only regurgitate a few times per month. Mother now describes her child as calm, easy to sleep, and, sleeps through the night more consistently! Contrast that with initial presentation: spit up every feeding; irritable, cries unconsolably; up all hours of the night; low quality sleep. Who do you know who has an infant child with Colic? Give our office a call and let Dr. Marc help them! 231-777-2622.

We saw a beautiful, 1 month old infant girl who had been consistently "spitting up" after breast feeding, incessant crying and irritability, and low quality sleep since birth. After several visits to their Pediatrician, no significant change was seen and the only advice given, was that the child will surely out grow this problem. The loving parents were frustrated and began calling around to local Chiropractors with one office declining care because this was not an area of expertise, the second office unable to schedule them for more than a week. We received the call from the Mother and we were able to schedule her the following day. After the first treatment, the Mother related to me the daughter was significantly less irritable and spit up every other feeding. After the second treatment, the irritability was half, and the feedings were becoming a more normalized pattern. Yesterday we saw the infant and the Mother said the regurgitation was now sporatic and the child beginning to sleep through the night. I wanted to share this because the Chiropractic adjustment not only removes irritation to the spine, but more importantly, reduces burden to the nervous system. Anytime the nervous system is less burdened, the body works better. Who do you know who has any physical problem who wants a natural approach to regain the ability to do the things they would love to do? We love to help people regain their lives back! That is what we do.
