A Miraculous Story
One of our new patients has given us permission to share his story. Everyone at our office is excited, and it has reminded me why I became a chiropractor. In the words of the patient: “I have been having severe pain since Thanksgiving 2014. I have had several meetings with an orthopedic doctor whose specialty was arthritis and joint replacement.

In our society today there are many factors that contribute to bad posture. Texting is one! Many people work on computers all day.

My Brush with Greatness
I am now close personal friends with team Chiropractors for all the NFL teams, and by close personal, I mean Facebook.
