Well, the 2nd day was more challenging than day 1. Had a moderate to severe headache most of the day. I’d imagine it’s the caffeine withdrawals. I was slightly achy all over today but had a great massage after work that helped loosen me up. For lunch, I had grilled bison steak which was delicious…

Clean: My 21 day cleanse begins
Today I started on the CLEAN 21 day cleanse. My wife had done this cleanse/detox after weaning our 2nd child. Day one I realized that having some quick grab snacks helped considerably. I didn’t have them before lunch but I did after lunch and I was much lower on the grumpy scale. I’ve thought about…

Drug deaths now outnumber traffic fatalities in U.S., Times analysis shows – latimes.com. It’s crazy how we tell kids to avoid drugs yet try to get them to take prescription medication. It’s a sad state of affairs when we don’t have to worry as much about the shady drug dealer on the corner so…
Vertigo City
Interesting cases lately at the office. I’ve seen more people with acute onset vertigo in the last month than I have in the past 2 years. It seems to be a combination of sinus issues, middle ear problems, and dehydration. Allergies and sinus problems have been huge this summer and fall. The patients who’ve seen…
Chew on THIS!
This week was the week for jaw and face pain. I had several new patients and even a few regular patients with the complaint of jaw pain or TMJ pain. In my years of practice, I’ve discovered that most of the patients with tension headaches also have a jaw problem. During the exam, I’ll ask…
A Day full of kids
Great day in the office today. I had a ton of my maintenance kids in the office for their adjustments. The great thing about treating kids is that they get well. And, they get well quickly. Those in the office today were mainly coming in initially for sinus, ear or Chronic Upper respiratory infections. I…
