This is the third article on osteoporosis I am writing because some new information about osteoporosis has been revealed in the last couple of years. I know most of you think about osteoporosis as an old person’s disease since that is when you typically experience the broken hips and collapsed vertebra that this disease is […]
I was cruising the internet the other day (not a novel experience) when I came across what appeared to be an alarming announcement. The statement was that it is expected that by the time this covid 19 has run its course, some 9 million people will have died from this bug worldwide. This sounds like […]
I spend inordinate amounts of time writing and talking to patients about what constitutes a healthy diet. This is because diet has the greatest day-to-day impact on our health, far more than I can offer with a Chiropractic adjustment. Every bite you take is like a mouth full of either medicine or poison.
