Hello all! The energy is coming back to Heib Chiropractic in this post Covid era. Please check out our new blog, "Go Team - Yaaay Team!" on heibchiropractic.com website. It gives you insight as to how I've managed to be a team player in multidisciplinary environments throughout my career. In order to keep the energy going, we have a "Gift of Health Certificate" that we hand out to patients that would like to refer friends and family to our clinic. It offers an automatic $50 credit on new patient accounts for chiropractic services (Medicare and Medicaid are excluded by law). We are now offering for a limited time a verbal Gift of Health. Just tell your friends and family to mention the Gift of Health from Facebook and they can get the help to start care without having the actual certificate. Always remember, if you are wearing yourself down we will build you back up, and we are eager to do our job of keeping you healthy and fit!

Thank you so much for all the attention so many of you gave to my latest Facebook post. It is nice to see that my page survived so well without my input for all the time that went by since my last post. I would like to say I am “back in the saddle,” but I am only a cowboy to the extent that I can be one in my own mind. Besides, I lost my cowboy hat years ago! I guess I could say I am somewhat “back in black” as AC/DC did when they shifted from a mood of loss from the death of their lead singer to a mood of moving onward in celebration of his life and a new direction for the band. I guess the bottom line is I am BACK IN BLOG!! I have come to the realization that I have to embrace the internet in order to not become extinct like my flip phone. From the beginning, I felt that my job as a doctor was to teach people. “Doctor,” in fact, originates from the Latin word docere meaning “to teach.” I do not want to be a salesman or a preacher (don’t ask my wife), I want to teach people as much as I can about what I can decipher is truth in healing through all of my 36+ years of experience and education. I also enjoy writing, so the internet is a perfect outlet for me. It is also a reality that it drives business, and the recent climate with the insurance industry and the post Covid disaster that has significantly impacted business causes me to move with the times and to be taught how to do so. Thanks to all the “kids” in my family!! So, look forward to more Facebook posts and blogs on heibchiropractic.com. Please write a positive review if you can on this page or Google, etc. If there is anything negative that concerns you it concerns me as well, so please give me a call! We are also working on online purchasing of supplements and other goodies through my website to support good health and physical integrity. Our mantra will continue to be “the way you FEEL is equal to the condition of your physical FORM + the proper FUNCTION of your body.” Give us a call at 324-0100 today, so we can help you stay healthy and fit! Thanks again and God bless!!

I have recently seen some negative posts on chiropractic-related advertising that bring up the risks of seeing a chiropractor, and I have also seen the use of a bygone term, "quack," when referring to a doctor of chiropractic. This is unfortunate that this rhetoric is raising its ugly head again. The "dangers" of a chiropractic manipulation have been dispelled long ago, and the scientific evidence that explains what we do and how it works and its effectiveness is now well established. The body of literature supporting what we do and its relative low risk when compared to many medical practices is immense. To be brief and to the point, if chiropractic care was unsafe our malpractice premiums would reflect that. Chiropractic premiums are down in the 4-figure range whereas medical premiums begin well into the 5-figure range. An analogy used in the past stated that the number of worldwide deaths caused by medical mistakes is equivalent to 2 jumbo jet crashes every 3 days, and the commentator went on to say that if this occurred with any other profession there would be a public outcry for an investigation. Sure you can find a tragic story with anything, but we must keep things in factual perspective! Hope this helps dispel any doubts you may have after encountering some of this negative commentary. Please call us at 324-0100 if you have any questions or concerns. We can also show you how the particular techniques we use in our office are some of the most gentle and noninvasive techniques in the industry. We use physics not brut force that was used more in the past!

My Road to becoming a Chiropractor

I was introduced to the chiropractic profession at 8 years old. My dad was injured in a work-related incident and was off work for 11 months. After seeing numerous medical specialists that could only offer him mind-numbing medications, physical therapy, cumbersome back braces and then surgery, someone suggested that he should see a chiropractor. Our family all went to his first visit. We watched my father hobble in and walk out. I was intrigued by this and began to collect literature from the doctor’s office. I remember well how I brought this literature to my third-grade class and began to share the brochures with pictures of x-rays and explain what a chiropractor did and how he helped my dad. Long-story-short, within a month my dad was back to work. No drugs, no surgery, no more complaints.

My dad was very impressed with his new-found health, so he made sure all our family could experience the benefits of chiropractic care. At the time, I was experiencing regular ear infections and bedwetting issues. Within a short time, I no longer struggled with those issues. When I was a freshman in high school I played football. I was a guard on the line and didn’t make a big enough opening for the running back, and he smashed into my back and I felt everything crunch from my tailbone to my neck. After that, I suffered episodes where I would bend over and couldn’t straighten up. After a visit or two with a chiropractor, my pain was gone and I regained mobility. I almost had to quit football because my ankles hurt to run. When I mentioned it to the chiropractor, he manipulated my ankles, and I no longer had any pain. Another time while playing racquetball I overreached for the ball and fell on my behind and slid backwards into the wall slamming my head against the wall. Shortly thereafter I began experiencing petite and grand mal seizures and was subsequently diagnosed with epilepsy. I was put on medications. In the meantime, in college, I suffered another injury trying to push a truck that was stuck and injured my mid back. I remember trying to walk down steps in college and every step caused a stabbing pain in my spine. Once again, a few visits to the chiropractor and I no longer had any problems. During this time, I also quit taking my epilepsy medications and never experienced any seizure episodes. Studies show a correlation with all these issues in various cases.

In my own family, I have seen my children grow up with hardly any need for antibiotics or any other medications. If this was genetically predisposed, my children would be susceptible due to the history on both sides of their parents. I see this same trend with patients who follow through with care in my office. The body wants to be in balance physically and physiologically, and the two are interconnected. The body reacts to physical, mental and biochemical stressors. As a chiropractor, eliminating physical stress helps the body deal with the other stress. Biochemical stress in the form of toxins or poor diet are also addressed in the wholistic realm by eliminating toxins and feeding the body nutrients that maintain or correct biochemical imbalances. Medical doctors use drugs and surgery to suppress symptoms and reconfigure the body to eliminate symptoms. Chiropractors eliminate physical stress to allow healing and work with the nutritional status of the body to restore health. That’s the bottom line.
