We're officially open!

Spring's finally deciding to show up in central Maine, and so it feels like the right time to move from our "soft launch" phase to being fully operational. Central Maine Chiropractic is seeing patients; chiropractic, dry needling, and our Motion Lab are all ready to go.

You can book online right through our website, or call or text us at (207) 200-7145 if you've got questions.

We're here; let's get to work!

Over the next several months there is going to be a lot of work happening at the Pittsfield office so that we can best serve our patients and community! We will always notify you as far in advance as we can about changes to the clinical schedule and will endeavor to keep the disruption to the sidewalk and the noise to a minimum.

To get rolling we are taking care of one of the most vital elements, updated electrical service to support the equipment we will be using for our biomechanical testing gear. Dr. Ron was lucky enough to meet Nicholas Dumont, the owner of Nicholas Electrical Company at Elm City Referral Source - BNI Waterville Chapter a few weeks ago. Their crew came out quickly, gave a comprehensive estimate, and we were able to schedule the work so that there was minimal disruption to our clinical hours. We love it when a plan comes together!

At Central Maine Chiropractic, we offer an Accessibility Rate Adjustment based on income to help reduce the barrier to care as much as possible. That said, some of our patients prefer to use their MaineCare benefits when chiropractic services are covered — so Dr. Ron put together a directory of all MaineCare-enrolled chiropractic offices across the state. A dynamic, automatically updated list will eventually live on our website; for now, the list can be accessed as a .pdf at the link below.

Whether you're a current patient or just looking for options, we hope this is a helpful reference. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions.

You've heard us say it before; Rize CoWorking & Collaboration Space is something special. We are lucky to be able to use it as our Bangor base of operations!

The central philosophy at the heart of Central Maine Chiropractic is that businesses should support and uplift the communities in which they operate. Entrepreneurship is hard enough, without having to deal with musculoskeletal pain, which is exactly why we extend our 20% Business Partner discount to all Rize members. If you need a new work home away from home come check it out, and don't forget to stop in and say hi!

Did you know that they call it "figure skating" because originally, skaters were judged on how well they traced precise patterns—or figures—on the ice. These patterns, often based on circles, were called "compulsory figures." In the early days of the sport, skaters had to carve these shapes with great accuracy, and their mastery of the "figures" was a key part of competition. Even though modern figure skating focuses more on jumps and spins, the name stuck!

Thank you to Dr. Ron's daughter, Evelyn, for asking the question that led to this little dip into history!

The Vitamin D Thing Everyone Gets Wrong

So we saw a post going around from a functional medicine doc, and honestly, she nails something that drives us crazy about most health advice.

Often it seems that providers are obsessed with getting vitamin D "as high as possible." Like it's some kind of competition. "Oh, your level is 60? Let's get that to 70." And they're all acting like higher is winning.

But here's what the actual research says. The actual data, not the Facebook wellness hype. Moderate vitamin D around 30 to 40 ng/mL is where most people feel good. Bone health is fine. Immune system works. Gut function improves.

But push it way higher? Fall risk goes up. We're not talking theoretical here. Real falls. Real fractures. Real hospitalizations. Especially in older folks.

Now, does that mean everyone should keep it low? No. That's not the point either.

The real question is: Are you different from the next person?

Someone with great balance and strong legs might do fine at higher levels. Someone who's already had a fall, or has weak quads, or balance issues? Their sweet spot could be totally different. You can't just use someone else's number.

And that's exactly why we do what we do here. When you come in, we look at how you actually move. Your balance. Your strength. Your stability. We get a picture of what *your* baseline is. Then we make recommendations based on *you*, not based on a number averaged for 1,00 other people that might have an entirely different risk profile than you.

That's the whole difference between actually personalized care and just copying what worked for someone else.

So yeah. Bring in your vitamin D labs. (Please! Dr. Ron really likes numbers.) But more importantly, let's see what your body actually tells us it needs.

Dr. Ron had a wonderful opportunity to chat with Heather Fogg, RN, BSN of Fundamental Foot Care in Hampden to learn more about their medically based foot care services.

Really cool light artifact on the back wall of the Pittsfield office this morning thanks to the curtains, shade, and dividing wall in our newly created waiting area. We still need to add a few more plants and some decor to liven it up but we are well on our way. As a special treat for any parents that need to bring their littles to an appointment, we have a selection of books, coloring books, and crayons for some screen-free entertainment!

You ever notice how the moment a drink says “15 grams of protein,” it feels like a healthy choice? That’s a marketing tactic that leans on a real psychological effect called the health halo. One positive claim can shift how we judge the whole product, even if we have not looked at the rest of the label.

Now, protein is not fake. Dairy proteins like whey and casein can increase fullness for a lot of people. But this is where the halo matters. Take the three “protein latte” options Dr. Ron saw at Dunkin this morning:

One is the Protein Latte with sugar-free vanilla. Same 15 grams of protein, and essentially no sugar in the medium.

Then there’s the Almond Protein Matcha Latte. Still 15 grams of protein, but now you are in sweet drink territory because the matcha mix is sweetened.

And the Caramel Chocolate Protein Latte is similar. Same protein, but even more sugar, because it is built on a flavored syrup.

So the point is not “good drink, bad drink.” The point is this: protein can be real, and the halo can still distract you from what else is coming along for the ride, especially in a beverage.

If you want to check the numbers yourself, here’s Dunkin’s nutrition PDF:

When you are bootstrapping a new Chiro clinic on a budget you have to follow where the FB marketplace takes you. Dr. Ron made the journey out to New Portland this morning to get the newest mechanical member of our team which 5-year-old Evelyn has designated Tabby the Table!

With this new equipment we will be able to serve a wider variety of patients (including expecting moms!) in a more secure and comfortable manner than the old portable table we had before would allow.

Very exciting updates coming to the educational facilities of MSAD 53; we can't wait to hear more!
