Office North View

As most of you already know I am closing the Sanger and Lake Kiowa  Office locations as of June 1, 2010 and will be available Monday through Friday at the new location.  The new office, dubbed “The Chiropractic Cottage” by many of my practice members, is located at #40 CR 123, Gainesville, Texas 76240.  It’s a new address so most mapping software does not show it yet.  The office is located just 400′ north of FM678 (Woodbine Rd.) on CR 123 (Tabernacle Rd.).  It is a newly constructed two story, light green cottage style house.  The new office has an open and airy feel similar in layout to my Sanger office.

The new office is just 5-10 minutes from Lake Kiowa and 20-30 minutes from Sanger.  Hope to see you there!

The lady in this video does an excellent job demonstrating the phase one exercises of our stabilization program.  At only 5 minutes long this video provides a quick tutorial if you’re not quite sure of your form yet.  It is also a great refresher if you’ve fallen of the wagon.

Most of us are guilty of reaching for the Ibuprofen or Aspirin or other over the counter pain reliever when we’ve overdone it a little.  Me included.  Yes, I have been guilty of it myself.  The fact is that while NSAIDs may help you feel better in the short-term, they may be causing you bigger problems down the road.

Some good alternatives to NSAIDs may be Boswellia, an herb used largely in India for pain management.  Tumeric and Ginger both have anti inflammatory activity.  Hot peppers and Cinnamon can help as well.  Tropical fruits such as pineapple and papaya have enzymes that help you heal faster.  And Fish, Flax and Evening Primrose oils can all help moderate inflammation.  All of these carry potential benefits but may not be right for everyone out there.  Depending on the situation, ice or heat may be enough to provide you with relief.

Ask me or consult with your health care or wellness professional to see what may work best for you.

See you downtown!

Things have finally started moving forward on Doc and Renada’s again. The second floor is up and the siding and windows should be completed this week.  Hopefully we’ll have it in the dry by next Friday with a nice new roof.

Renada is doing a fabulous job coordinating all this activity.  She always amazes me!  She says Lynn is doing a great job as well.  They have never been as on top of things as they are right now.

Here are a couple of pics showing the recent progress. They’re from my cell phone so the quality is lacking but you get the general idea.

With the way the business environment has changed since starting this project, we are not too sure what the retail space will become.  Our current plan is for a chiropractic studio (The Spine Studio) but not too sure what else?  Possibly still a Design Center / Upscale Gift Shop or Art Studio / Coffee Shop / Sweet Shop… Just not sure yet.  We do plan to live downstairs in the 3rd Street space.

See you around downtown.

Actually, Leora Wenger, has a wonderful post that covers the Social Media for Health Care Providers subject very well.  Twitter, a microblogging service, is taking the social media world by storm.  I use it to keep in contact with my practice base and share useful information with others.  It has helped attract a few new people to the practice as well.

You should consider signing up and seeing what its all about.  You can follow my updates or “tweets” as they referred to in twitterland at my twitter page Sanger TX Chiropractor

You have questions about back pain, headaches or neck pain?  Stop by and see me at the studio.

Dr. Adam Tanase has a great article on this subject from his blog at

Is Chiropractic Safe for People with Surgical Fusion?

The most common areas of complaint I see in spinal fusion patients are pain at the base of the skull and in the the lowest part of the neck, soreness between the shoulder blades, and numb sensations within the arm and hand.

These conditions often get great results from chiropractic care. But there’s just one problem… Fusion patients are told not to get chiropractic adjustments! Many people want to know if there is any truth to this advice. Is chiropractic care safe for people with surgical fusion?

Yes and No. Ultimately, it depends on the case, and which part of the spine was fused and why. Acute spinal fractures and malignant tumors are obvious contraindications to manipulation.

Patients with fusion resulting from disc herniation, however, are better candidates. I know that when surgeons tell their patients to stay away from chiropractic adjustments after surgery, they’re doing so with the best of intentions. But I believe that many of them are unaware of the advances in chiropractic methods, and simply don’t know that certain techniques are not harmful to fusion patients.

While rotational methods applied to the fused segments may be ill-advised, many chiropractic techniques can help people without the need to “twist & pop” the neck. Most Upper Cervical methods are great alternatives. These include NUCCA, Grostic, Atlas Orthogonal, Palmer Specific, and Blair.

There are also “full spine” instrument-based methods that are acceptable. Examples include Pro-Adjuster and ArthroStim.

If you or someone you know has had spinal fusion, please don’t assume that you “can’t” visit a chiropractic office. While not everyone will be a candidate for care, many fusion patients have safely experienced the benefits of specific chiropractic.

So says Dr. Tanase

The Spine Studio is now open.  See you soon!

The need for appropriate pre and post-natal care can’t be stressed enough. Good nutrition, appropriate exercise, stress management, NO DRUGS, BOOZE OR SMOKING…All very important.  Also, understand that you do need to find a OB/NP you trust and that will listen to you.  One willing to provide answers to your concerns and help insure both your and your babies health.  And… find a chiropractor to help you through this exciting and stressful time, too.

I have had the pleasure of meeting and learning from Dr. Jeanne Ohm on several occasions.  She is very passionate about her work.  In this video, Dr. Jeanne Ohm, Executive Director of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (icpa4kids.org), discusses the importance of chiropractic care during pregnancy and for infants.

So… As a videographer, I think you’ll find I’m an excellent chiropractor. Not the best video or narration but the office looks remarkable, if I do say so myself.  Thanks to Renada with Rio Vista Homes (www.myriovostahome.com).  She helped me with a few construction projects, Getting my Certificate of Occupancy from the city, and most of the office design features.  The address is 416 Bolivar, Suite 100, Sanger, Texas and our number is 940-458-7706.

This office is well-equipped for family chiropractic care. We have convenient evening and weekend hours available.  We accept most major insurance plans and our self-pay plans are easy and affordable as well.  In fact, Several of my practice members choose to self-pay because it costs less than their Co-Pay!  Check out the “Save $$$” tab on this website for more information.

Stop in and see me.  I’m in the office Tuesday, Thursday until 7pm  and Saturday Afternoons until 5pm.  See you soon!
