Vegetables get a bad wrap because most of us do not know how to prepare them.

Fair point.

But, there are so many easy ways to prepare them, from dicing and tossing them on a sheet pan with some olive oil and dry spices, sautéing them in a pan, boiling them or high-heat stir-fry.

The possibilities are endless, so stretch your imagination and get comfortable with one or two dishes and slowly expand your comfort zone.

Your tastebuds will thank you.

From our last post, this is the face you'll see me make when you demonstrate the exercise exactly as I taught you and you feel it exactly where you're supposed to.

I know that during our chiropractic appointments, that we go over a lot of things.
When we go over exercises, I demonstrate them, and ask that you pay attention so that you know how to reproduce them when you get home.
Sometimes, I'll ask you to demonstrate something in office, to get some 'muscle memory' going.
But, if you find that you're not feeling the exercise, or feeling that stretch like we talked about, its possible something got lost in translation.

Never fear, always happy to go over it with you during your next visit.

We all know that eating good food is better than eating food that is full of chemicals, is hard to pronounce when you read a label, or if it comes through a car window.

So, why do we have such an impulse to continue eating like crap?

It is easy because the food companies design their food to be hyper-palatable (meaning, once you start, you cannot stop eating), calorie-dense and nutrient poor. In short, it's all the stuff that 'tastes good', but is actually bad for us.

The choice is always yours, but remember everything in moderation.

Did you know that Dr. Erik works on Saturdays?

Right, who knew!?

If you're a commuter Mon-Fri and need someone who can see you on the weekend, now you've found your new favorite person!

10-12 on Saturdays (though we're usually here until 2pm)

Our practice is 'word of mouth'. Meaning, if we do a good job working on you, it is always appreciated of you feel compelled to share it forward.
One of the best compliments Dr. Erik can receive is the referral of a friend or family member to the office.
Let's help the Hudson Valley become and stay as healthy as possible.

Often, I have a lot of patients who come in with questions about things they read online or have heard second-hand from friends.
One of the downfalls of this is the source of the information. Is it factual, or opinion-based? Did you read the whole article, or did you just skim the title of an article.
Regardless, Dr. Erik knows a lot of about a lot, so if you have a question on something you've read online or have heard, but are not sure, let Dr. Erik know and we can have a chit-chat.

Health care should be affordable to one and all.
In our office, Dr. Erik choses to offer a self-pay option per visit as opposed to taking your health insurance.

Why?

Because health care gatekeeps your health by limiting what Dr. Erik is able to do for you. This is why you notice that some health care offices are run like "mills". They treat according to 'only what they will get paid'.

Don't you think you're worth more than that?

Self-pay allows Dr. Erik to treat you as you need to be treated, without limiting visits or style of care. This means you get what you need, when you want it.

Pretty cool, right?

Whenever we accumulate an injury, the length of time will change the diagnosis. When we damage tendons (which is connective tissue that attaches muscles to bone), the collagen fibers become damaged, torn or frayed. The severity of the injury can determine the healing time.
Acute issues tend to be less serious and have quicker healing times.
Chronic issues are acute issues that happen more frequently and as such, continue to change the collagen fibers and are often typically cases that stretch out into months.

What better way to follow up from a Valentine's Day post then by pivoting and talking about your feet.
Our footwear is necessary for many things, but the wrong shoe can have a negative impact on your musculoskeletal system. From plantar fasciitis to joint problems to your ankle and knee, or hip, sometimes we need to reevaluate our approach to what we put on our feet.
