What are the best shoes for running?

That’s a really complicated answer. Several years ago, when I turned 30, I caught the “I’m going to be a runner” bug like a lot of my contemporaries of the time. So, I got outside and started running. Eventually I worked my way up to doing two half marathons before my knees decided I was […]

Why do you use the term “supplements” and not “vitamins”?

Vitamins are specific compounds. Vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin D, etc. are all specific molecules that are essential for us to consume because our bodies can’t make them on their own. The term “supplements” includes all the things we might take in the form of a capsule, pill, powder, or liquid. We are supplementing the […]

Can I take inexpensive supplements?

I know supplements can be expensive. Believe me; I know because I take them myself. But the point of taking supplements is to give your body all the building blocks that it needs to make healthy cells, tissues, hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. If we are paying for supplements that are not providing those building blocks, it […]

Why do I need to take supplements?

There are a few ways emotional stress might increase our physical pain levels. First, it can cause a head tilt. Most of us know that the right side of the brain tends to be more active than the left when we are doing creative things, such as painting a picture, making music, or dreaming up […]

My back hurts when I sit at my desk; what can I do?

In the modern era, most people have a desk at work. Most people spend a large percentage of their day at their desk. If your desk set-up puts a lot of strain on the neck and low back, it can compound subluxation problems. When we sit, we want to keep the spine aligned just like […]

You can tell my child has a subluxation based on how they walk?

Yes, absolutely! When children fist start walking, their gait is driven by the strongest muscles in the hips and the legs, and the muscles that have the most communication between the brain and the muscle cells. After they gain a little strength and stability, they should have the most perfect gait of their lifetime. Most […]

What I eat can affect my spine? Really?

What we eat can have a negative effect on the spine in two ways: Your bones, joints, nerves, cartilage, ligaments, muscles, blood vessels, etc. all need specific and essential nutrients.
