There is no doubt in my mind that sports is a…

Happy Mother’s Day
In honor of Mother’s Day, I’m here to share some fantastic, fun, fabulous facts about the female brain. After all, isn’t it a woman’s mind that makes her so beautiful?

It must be paranormal. Have you ever wondered if your chiropractor has magical fingers? I’m not talking about how much better you feel after an adjustment. I’m talking about how chiropractors can so adeptly run their fingers over your spine and find the misalignments… without needing to know where or if it hurts. After almost…
