How got into chiropractic, from merchant marine work was because I happened to have, in my opinion, digestive issues following food poisoning in Fortaleza. Brazil. I remained run down from that cruise when I went to a D.C. in Windham where I lived. After one adjustment in the area that give rise to many digestive organs, no longer felt run down but 2 days after, I felt better than usual. Fortunately the chiropractic pointed out to me the nerve connections from the area of my mid back to the stomach, liver, gallbladder, small intestines. That is exactly when I decided to quit shipping because I wanted to do and teach how spine adjustments do a lot more than tamp down some pain. If I can find it I will put the charts in the comment section that sparked a major life direction change for me.

The findings suggest that chronic gastritis is associated with compensatory postural adaptations, reduced trunk mobility, and spinal musculoskeletal dysfunctions. These results highlight the potential for visceral disturbances to contribute to biomechanical imbalances, likely due to the viscerosomat...

Columbus Day 2025 at the office. Not a dress shirt and tie day. All those white things are samples of Standard Process products I use for muscle testing. We can't keep liver and gallbladder support stuff in stock some times. I take it a lot when I eat too much cheese, almond butter. Not working good gallbladder and liver can cause mid back pain and shoulders to not work so hot. As a chiropractor I can tell you my shoulders get a workout. I have to take care of them with diet and exercise. Though I do very little acupuncture, the blue boxes on the blue shelf are boxes of acupuncture needles.

Had a few new kids in the practice lately. I posed mom with her daughter holding one of our stuffed brain models. Adjustments improve brain function. This little girl came in because mom said she had started slurring words like her older sister did a few years ago. After one cranial adjustment to her sister the word slurring stopped immediately. Both kids are active and bump their heads. This picture is a few minutes after I adjusted her occiput, sphenoid and frontal bone (very gently). She told mom she felt better. We'll see if her speech returns to normal like her older sister.

I have to look away when I see DC's adjusting pts with microphones next to the spine trying to get a huge crack. This one was to me by a practice member. I should have made this. It is pretty funny. https://www.facebook.com/reel/25255385900725780

Big changes for medicare advantage plans all over USA. In Somerset County looks like Wellcare is toast. Looking like Humana or a "medigap" plan to supplement old fashioned Medicare is a good option. Not a fan of United. They want a lot of paperwork upfront and ongoing.

12 hours of this on Thursday in Bangor. I already to cranial adjusting but not this particular brand of cranial adjusting. Should pick up some good tools to use.

Cranial adjusting has a long history in the profession and has a beneficial affect on the nervous system, meningeal tension and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. In this course, we will examine the analysis and adjusting techniques for frequently occurring cranial, TMJ, and upper cervical subluxation p

A practice member I have treated for many years had become so brittle, she could not lay down on the table on her back or on her front because it caused severe pain in her sacroiliac joint (butt area). I had to adjust her sitting up. This was not the norm in months past. I asked if she was cholesterol lowering medication. Indeed she was. I said to her those medications can cause a lot of problems, in this case I think it was impairing the bodies' ability to make and repair butt muscle to protect and hold the SI joint. She asked doctor to go off the med. Doctor was opposed but she did it anyway. She said in one day after off the med she could feel the difference. This practice member is delighted about how much better she feels. She can be in any position on the adjusting table without pain. Here is just a reel briefly speaking cholesterol meds. It is well know those meds impede muscle repair among other things. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1010308964513514
