Shout Out to Queen Anne Businesses: Stuhlberg's

graeme — Wed, 05 May 2010 00:02:29 +0000

I feel lucky that I was able to get in so many blog posts already for 2010, as my time and energy levels have been dwindling since Maggie arrived.

I realized today that it has been a month or so since my initial Shout Out to Queen Anne Businesses, which I still intend to do on a weekly basis.

Curious What the Markup for Pharamceutical Drugs Are?

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:04:26 +0000

After reading about the $80,000,000,000, 10 year drug pact that the gub'ment and BigPharma made in June 2009 for the proposed health care reform, I decided to look into the markup and percentage gains on commonly used medications.

P90X Chiropractic Challenge: Update

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:00:03 +0000

Two days down and 88 more to go. Hoping this post will help keep me accountable.

My diet has been on target, although I should be getting in a few more calories. My body hasn't been used to much exercise for a while and the fatigue I felt today during plyometrics I am attributing to my mono.

Common Meds Increase Chance of Breast Cancer and Heart Disease.

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:00:26 +0000

One of the best things about being a chiropractor is the chance to express an conservative viewpoint and educated concern about prescription and over the counter medications. As our population continues to get bombarded with billion dollar ad campaigns for drugs we are told to ask our doctor about, it is a definite uphill battle to be the voice of reason.

Splenda is FAR From Splendid

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:00:24 +0000

My focus in life continues to be on my family and being a chiropractor, but I certainly have been on a nutrition kick lately, haven't I? A few of our patients at Queen Anne Chiropractic are actually providing some feedback on our blog, and one of the issues recently brought up has been people avoiding Aspartame in favor of another horrible chemical sweetener, Splenda.

If you use the video on your site but please link back to Queen Anne Chiropractic Center

After writing my last blog post about neuroplasticity and chiropractic, reviewing the documentary, and reading some of the responses I received, I decided to find a small clip of the documentary, The Brain That Changes Itself(Courtesy of the CBC.) If you're interested I highly recommend renting or purchasing the full length doc.

Neuroplasticity: Can Chiropractic Help the Brain Change Itself?

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:35:56 +0000

As my wife finishes her master's degree in early childhood education, I like to imagine a place where parents in Seattle have access to such a program for their struggling student. I realize there are programs, but most are focused on accepting a disability and not attempting to rewire their pliable brains so it goes away. Permanently. When I saw this I wondered if the same stimulation could be used via the other senses of touch while using less used cortical stimulus via the cranial nerves. Could smell or aromatherapy used via the olfactory nerve? Could a chiropractic adjustment be used to effect a certain spinal tract and relay the impulse to a weak area of the brain? Some of these questions are rhetorical as I already know the answer, but it is a shame that only small niche groups of Chiropractors strictly focus on the brain as it relates to neuroplasticity. Yes, many of us are creating this positive response via the adjustment, but there could not be a better time to educate our patients on the subject. Now could be the time to ask the public to send it patients who have struggled with brain injuries, learning difficulties and strokes.

The most important antioxidant you've never heard of

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 02:38:26 +0000

Exceptional health through chiropractic will always be the main priority in my life. Occasionally, I will notice that the balance between the physical, emotional, and nutritional components at my practice might be swayed one direction or the other. Keeping a level understanding that each one contributes to the subluxation complex can be easy to forget as our focus may drift to strict biomechanics of the spine.

Ear Infections: Gone in a FLASH

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:33:37 +0000

ear infections super hero

One of the biggest misconceptions about many childhood ailments is that they simply come with territory, and the few spared were lucky, while the unlucky ones simply suffer. My favorite example of this are children who suffer from acute or chronic ear infections (Otitis Media.)
