A Healthy Halloween
It’s that time of year again! The leaves are changing. The temperature is dropping. Our streets will soon be crowded with heroes and villains, celebrity look-a-likes, cops, fireman and, unfortunately, clowns.

Chiropractic – Not Just a Fad
Jack Kerouac has a quote regarding fads: “Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinions.” I find this quite appropriate for modern American.

August Practice Member(s) of the Month
If you’ve been in the office this month, you may have noticed something unusual. Instead of naming only one Practice Member of the Month, for the first time in Pembroke’s 15-year history we have named TWO! But don’t worry, they won’t mind sharing the limelight – if you haven’t already guessed from their spinal patterns…

Dancers and Chiropractic?
Saturday morning dance class, it’s the rite of passage for thousands of little girls that has spanned the test of time. Once upon a time I was one of those tiny dancers, hair slicked back in a bun, black leotard, pink tights. Learning to point my toes, turning out my feet and walking like a…
