Everyone gets a free orange or tangerine the next few days.
Fresh picked in California a few days ago – these are “heritage oranges“ which means they come from trees at least 50 years old. The older the tree, the sweeter the orange. 🍊 ❤️

As many of my patients know, two weeks ago, I had a bad bicycle fall, suffering a grade 3 separated shoulder on the left shoulder. It hasn’t been fun, especially the first week after the fall.

Yesterday I met with an orthopedic specialist at Fort Wayne ortho. Dr. Gerald Cooper expressed a prognosis that I should be able to rehabilitate this back to nearly normal hopefully. He seemed optimistic. It’s going to take me a number of weeks to get this fully functioning. I am able to Practice chiropractic with almost all adjusting techniques, except for a “lumbar side posture“ adjustment.
I still do low back traction, drop adjustments, muscle, soft tissue release, work, and normal upper back, neck, shoulder hand, knee foot, adjust adjustments.

Of course I do department of transportation, truck driver physicals, and these require almost no physical effort on my part so they are unaffected.

I would suggest nobody else go out and tear their shoulder apart in this manner, because you’re not going to be happy for a while!

Thank you, looking forward to seeing you!

Ran across this in my phone pictures from a while back. It’s worth a laugh, although since a lot of chiropractic patients have asked over the years how we do start working on patients— chiropractic school is 10 semesters long, we more or less take adjusting courses in semesters two through six, and don’t do any full manual “thrusts“ on anyone until semester seven, where we work on semester one through six students, plus a few others that are at the school taking prerequisite undergrad courses to start semester one.

In semesters eight through 10, we work on “real“ patient who come in to one of a number of the schools clinics, which were set up around the St. Louis area. Most other chiropractic schools will have a similar set up, depending on the city of location, patience pay About 60% or so as much of these student clinics as they would at most private clinics. The lower cost helps draw patients in so the students can get the required 250 chiropractic adjustments to graduate. Treatments are pretty slow because students have to take a almost unnecessarily long History and lengthy notes on every visit to show the instructors that the student knows what he or she is doing and is crossing all the t’s and dotting all the I’s to become a good chiropractor.

So there we have it. We don’t work on frogs or mice or pigs or anything else, lol. 
Oh, and yes, we have two semesters of gross anatomy where we do full meticulous cadaver dissection over two semesters. Just like medical schools. You can look information on that online if you’re interested.

All right, I’ll be in normal hours for the next few weeks up until having Labor Day Monday off.
