https://www.facebook.com/healthsprout.chiro It looks OK at my house. I see some ice, but passable for sure. Driveway is the worst of what I see here. If you have been out, tell me what you have found out please! Post on our facebook page. We don’t want to open up to entice people out into hidden, black ice. But we don’t want to miss serving those who are heading out. Dr. E
If it is iced over, we don’t want to cause you to risk it, so we’ll be closed. If it is not bad, we’ll be in. Check here: https://www.facebook.com/healthsprout.chiro?fref=ts
This device is solidly the most cool tech gadget that I have heard of. I just got a new iPad mini for Christmas, I already have an iPad, but as many of you know, I am connected. I am an administrator of over 30 facebook pages from World Wide WOD, to The Garage, to CrossFit Bridgemill, to the 60 Day Turnaround, to the Firebreather Challenge Destiny Run. The list goes on and on (of course add HealthSprout to this list with two pages, the HealthSprout Chiro friend page and the HealthSprout Special Events page). My point, I need to be […]
Where there’s Smoke there’s Fire Written by Dr. Mike Diseases come in all shapes and sizes… they take on different names, characteristics, pathogenicity… New diseases are coming out every year, and as a result the medical diagnostic manuals get thicker and thicker year in and year out. Trying to understand each and every disease, while trying to keep up with the influx of brand new disease will make your head spin, and efforts to do so would be futile. However, if we go up 10,000 ft and look down at all of these different diseases, we can uncomplicate things and see the […]
What is the value of an adjustment? A singular adjustment? In a corrective care environment like my office, we tend to dismiss the value of one adjustment in the way we speak. Your back hurts, you want one adjustment to “fix” you. But that is unlikely.
See the problem lies not in how it is feeling in the moment, but rather in the underlying treatment of the structure leading up to that moment. So if you bent wrong, twisted wrong, or sneezed wrong, it is likely not the bend, twist or sneeze of the moment, but rather all of the bending, twisting and sneezing that was done improperly leading up to it (actually in most cases, it is simply the sitting)…
Have you had the same goal, year after year, every year, since time began? I need to lose weight. I need to spend more time with my family. I need to stop… smoking, drinking, some other addiction… These are all good goals, there is surely no fault in the goal. But how is the success? Have you succeeded? If you have, then you have embraced a critical piece of the puzzle that has to be navigated to achieve so many components of life. Embrace the need, for a “SUPERIOR PLAN”. That is the key, to have a superior plan. Dr. […]
This brings up a good question, and ultimately the answer becomes more about “can I get it” than it is about the difference between the two. So, what is the difference between a stomach bug and food poisoning? Without going into the details of what you can read in the literature, lets just go from what we know. Food poisoning, would be food that is tainted with some micro-organism that is a toxin to your body. One that your body recognizes as a toxic substance, so it attempts to remove it from your gut in the most violent fashion. Stomach […]
I have a lot of patients who profess to have developed positive lifestyle habits vs moments of health pursuit. The difference, is a daily commitment that transcends effort to be committed. A good example, I don’t think about going to work out, I just do it. I enjoy it immensely, and it is odd for me to take a day without it (like today), and I actually think more about it if I don’t. But to go do it, is simply part of living… lifestyle habit. Diet is a harder one. We obviously are tempted at many times in our day, […]
You know, I gave some thought to writing a flu vaccine sprout, as I recently read an article about a death that happened within a day of receiving the flu vaccine… one of those, “maybe it was this, maybe it wasn’t” types of stories. But that kind of story always has a place, regardless of season. Then I figured it would be a good idea to write about holiday foods, and give some ideas for preparing healthy food dishes. As we all want to eat perfectly healthy over the holidays, right? Well, wrong. I know that most of you will […]
