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).

UPDATE: While I am improving each week in function and strength, my ability to adjust people is on hold for at least another month. My PT continues for that month. Will post updates as I know them.

Update: progressing with PT as expected. Follow up appointment is 02/18/2025. Will know more about a return to practice date after that. Thanks again for all of the prayers, cards, well wishes and calls!!

Update: Thank you to everyone who has prayed for Tammy and I. Hip replacement surgery went well yesterday. Pain mild at this point but have two PT visits yet today and drain tube to be removed. If all goes well they tell me I should be released later this evening.

Thank you!!

Did you know that, 10 years ago, the FDA issued a "letter of warning" about epidural steroid injections (ESIs - injecting corticosteroids into the epidural space of the spine). While rare, the FDA warned of possible side effects including stroke, visual loss, paralysis and death.

To my knowledge, the FDA has still not approved epidural steroid injections.

On April 23, 2014, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter of warning that injection of corticosteroids into the epidural space of the spine may result in rare, but serious adverse events, including "loss of vision, stroke, paralysis, and death." The advisory also advocated that patie...
