SPRING AWAKENING

I love watching the apple and cherry trees begin their spring journey from dormancy to life. It starts with a little green bud on the tips of the branches, and before you know it, the whole tree is covered in full green leaves. Shortly after you see white buds and then the beautiful blossoms. It doesn’t all happen at once, because the tree must begin a process of waking up after winter before it can get “juices” flowing, before it is ready for the stress of the leaves and then the fruit.

Symmetry

The crazy thing about our bodies is that we aren’t normally symmetrical, and the difference between the left and right sides can sometimes cause us problems.

The Little Things

The human body is an amazing thing, it is capable of lifting hundreds of pounds, running miles and miles, and swimming across lakes. When we think of how our bodies do those things, the big muscles and strong back usually come to mind. That’s not wrong, but it overlooks the millions of tiny processes that occur inside our organs, and inside our cells, to make those amazing accomplishments possible.

The "Magic" Fix

Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet when it comes to pain, but there is hope. Pain is your body communicating with itself that something is not right.

Common Conditions

There are many other conditions that we see at the office, but these are the most common (at least I think so. I haven’t really kept track and I don’t know how to look it up).

Cold Weather Aches

We must find a way to move, even if most of our avenues to do that are taken away. Thankfully, we live in 2021 and there are options available to us that did not exist 20 years ago.

The Chiropractic Treatment

The main component of a chiropractic treatment is the adjustment. The adjustment is a way of introducing motion into a joint that is stuck or dysfunctional.
