Hiatal Hernia Syndrome; scary sounding words for sure! You suffer from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), and the "purple pill" is part of your life.

ChiroThin Weight Loss? Let's be truthful, America is overweight!  I can remember growing up in the 1960's; There was no culture of gym memberships, Crossfit didn't exist, there were no diet soft drinks and yet almost no one was fat!

Back Pain / Foot Pain Related?

Back Pain Related to Foot Pain? Back pain / foot pain related?  The pain could be telling a story your doctor may have not have heard.  As your body's foundation, your feet absorb an enormous amount of stress with every step you take.  Three arches underneath each foot are the main structures of support.  Three arches, not just one.  Surprised?  So are most of my patients.  You already know about the inside or medial longitudinal arch, but we also have an outside or lateral [...]

Laptop ergonomics – Here’s your guidelines!

By |2020-04-09T14:26:37-04:00April 4th, 2014|FAQs, Health Tips, Spinal Care Tips|Comments Off on Laptop ergonomics – Here’s your guidelines!

Avoid Late Night Binges with a High Protein Morning Meal It’s 11 o'clock at night and you’ve just scarfed down a slice of leftover pizza and a few too many Oreo cookies.
