More research!

All of you know I am a big believer in avoiding surgeries, if possible!  Sometimes you can't avoid skeletal surgery, but when it comes to disk surgeries, research has been showing consistently through the past 10 years that chiropractic adjustments help to treat lower back pain and relieve sciatic nerve pain.

That's a link to an interesting video discussing this study.  If you'd rather read about it, here is the link:

 So if anyone out there knows of someone who is considering lumbar disk surgery, advise the most conservative route first: chiropractic adjustments.  You can always opt for the surgery later if chiropractic is unsuccessful (and yes, it's happened to me - I've had to refer my patients to surgery when chiropractic was unsuccessful and with very successful outcomes).  If you want to know more about how to increase your health and have a great and healthy life, just come by the clinic Tuesdays at 6 pm for our Health Care Classes.  They last an hour and are designed with one thing in mind: SAVE YOU MONEY!  Face it, doctor's bills can be expensive!

 We also are now hosting an 11:00 am exercise hour here at the clinic on Saturdays.  We will meet here and jog, walk, or bike in the subdivision behind the clinic.  It's a great area for exercise and we would like to get at least 3-4 trainers involved and 10-15 members in this group.  Call the clinic and let us know if you are interested: 601 924 4647.
