How many times each day do I work on someone’s low back problem? This is the most common reason folks come into my office for care. The thing is, often times the real problem is not the low back at all. The pain is in the low back, but the cause may be further […]
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 […]
Meditation is a powerful technique that we can use to benefit our health. However, there is a lot of well-meaning but misguided fluff attached to the whole subject.
