4 Great Benefits of Chiropractic on Health
Even though chiropractors are known for having great success in relieving back pain and neck pain, a chiropractic adjustment can help a person’s health in many other ways. In a recent discussion I had with one of our practice members, I realized it was necessary to share a few of these, so I compiled 4 Great Benefits of Chiropractic on Health. Enjoy.Lowering High Blood Pressure For many years chiropractors have been spreading the word about the lowering of high blood pressure with a chiropractic adjustment. This is typically due to...
read moreDoes the Hippocratic Oath Even Matter Anymore?
About a month ago I had the privilege of speaking to a group of health professionals that were in the final stages of study for their PhD. It had been a few years since I had done such a task, so I reviewed the material I felt was the epitome of the chiropractic profession, and also brushed up on some of my medical terminology for good measure. Shortly after reading the 33 Principles of Chiropractic by Stephenson, I was jolted with a thought that I couldn’t let go of. The Hippocratic Oath. With the exception of the saying the oath upon...

One of the most memorable times in my chiropractic career was the day a mother allowed me to adjust her young daughter, who happened to be on the “autism spectrum.” She was 3 1/2 years old, constantly ill with a cold, flue, or something else. At this point she did not speak, and the parents were told that there was limited to no likelihood of her ever speaking, nor living a “regular life.” This was in 2009. Fast forward to 2012 and you will meet a well adjusted, bright, smiling, super talkative big sister who now...
read moreCanAm 2012: Friends to the Rescue (Photos not for the Squeamish)
If any of you have followed my most recent hockey related injury, you may have already seen a couple of these photos. While I don’t want to upset my wife more than she already is, I am glad to be part of such a great group of friends. Over the past decade or so I have been playing street hockey with a consistent yet ever-changing group of guys. Each Saturday our group meets @ Adam Elementary in Ballard, and we randomly split teams each game. We draw guys from Everett, Olympia, Kirkland, Queen Anne, and everywhere in between. The games...
read moreTime to throw in the towel: My Sports Injury Saga
My father and I still have a laugh about the description someone once used about famously tough hockey player, Wendel Clark, to describe his overall condition. An eggshell of a man. This seemed extremely funny a few years ago, but after many acute and chronic injuries I seem to have become a that very same eggshell, but without the NHL fame, stardom, money, or accolades. Sports have continued to be a major part of my life. I continue to play hockey occasionally, lacrosse, and I routinely recommend various sports and exercises to patients in...

I wanted to thank chiropractor , Dr. Don Clum, D.C. for inspiring to start posting on my blog again. His recent video of his daughter doing an impressive squat press, and commentary on the benefits of children weightlifting at an early age made me research the topic a little further. I chose to start by re-reading the teachings of Paul Chek, of the C.H.E.K. Institute. While he is not a PhD., nor are his points of view peer reviewed, but I have yet to find someone who’s viewpoint on exercise, movement, and eating habits that were so ahead...
read moreWe Met The Vancouver Canucks Green Men!
As some of you may know, my family loves hockey. I was fortunate enough to have a dad who purchased a couple of front row seats to Game 5 of the Canucks/Nashville series. It was my first NHL in 5 year, so it was a blast sitting in such amazing seats.The fact that we sat 5 seats away from the Green Men, Force & Sully was also excellent. I was surprised how quiet they were during the play. You would expect them being complete morons the entire game if you were to listen to Glen Healy, but they couldn’t be better fans. It seemed...
read moreEven More Concerns About Mercury in Dentistry
Mike Adams, editor at Naturalnews.com, just posted another fantastic article about the continued use of mercury in dentistry, and the unwavering support of the FDA, AMA, and the top officials in dentistry. Mr. Adams concludes that the use and support of mercury amalgams really comes down to a money issue, as the substance is extremely cheap. While I don’t seem to run into too many youngsters with “silver fillings” which seemed to be the norm growing up, I do find it startling that mercury is a component in any type of health...
