Safe natural therapy to heal illness and improve well-being
Chiropractic is the best known and most widely used alternative therapy in the US today. In most states, chiropractic physicians are primary-care, first-contact physicians who use a conservative, holistic, and integrative approach to patient care. Chiropractic doctors treat, correct, and prevent neurological, skeletal, and soft tissue dysfunction by employing manipulation of the spine and other joints. They use other conservative means for promoting wellness, including nutritional counseling, physiologic therapeutics (such as light, water, heat, cold, and massage), meridian therapy/acupuncture, trigger point therapy, exercise, lifestyle counseling, botanical medicine, homeopathic remedies, emotional support, and stress management.

All things considered, we’ve rather enjoyed our telemedicine interactions with patients. Doctoring this way also recently provided me with an Aha! moment. What I realized was that much of what we do as Functional Medicine specialists, both diagnosis and treatment, can be done online with you never leaving your home. Such a consultation would include […]
Seeing Your Chiropractic Physician via Telemedicine? Absolutely! I know what you’re thinking. ‘How can you possibly give me an adjustment during a video conference?’ The short answer is I can’t, but when coming to our office for an in-person appointment is difficult or impossible, I can continue to help. As a chiropractic physician, I’ve been […]
About six weeks ago, I was in the Loop just leaving the international Lyme disease conference, briefcase in one hand, shopping bag filled with I-don’t-remember-what in the other, when my foot caught an irregular sidewalk crack and down I went, hard, landing full force on my left shoulder. (Permission to cringe.) I was immediately helped […]

There are so many rules and restrictions on opioid prescribing that many physicians simply don’t bother any more, referring their chronic pain patients to pain management (PM) specialists. As well-intentioned as PM physicians may […]
