Happy 120th Birthday Chiropractic!
On September 18, 1895 D. D. Palmer performed the first-ever chiropractic adjustment on Harvey Lillard, a deaf janitor, in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer describes the incident in his 1910 book The Science, Art and Philosophy of Chiropractic: The Chiropractor’s Adjuster: “Harvey Lillard, a janitor in the Ryan Block, where I had my office, had been so…

Is Your Body A Sink Hole?
I’m sure by now we’ve all heard and/or have seen the great sinkhole of I-93 north, in Concord. I did not see the hole in person, but the pictures were absolutely stunning. To imagine that the road was normal in appearance and in a matter of minutes it underwent dramatic changes is startling. It was…

Subluxation Filled Summer?
There is no season in which I am more thankful for my chiropractic adjustments than summer! Our warm season passes way too quickly here in New Hampshire and so I feel obligated to pack in every activity possible. I’ll readily admit that some of these aren’t the most spine-friendly. From tubing on Lake Winnipesaukee (read…

The Secret to Living Your Best Life
Look in the mirror. Look around at other people when you walk around the grocery store. Do you see happiness? Do you see a lot of laughter and joy? Or do you see people who are busy? Not just busy, but overwhelmed. We run around, filling every moment with….stuff. More practices for the kids,…

Sometimes You Just Say Yes
Do you ever have the sense that you’ve said “yes” to one too many things? The feeling that you may have too many pots on the stove? This year I’ve had a few moments like that. In August I was crowned Ms. America 2014-2015, with responsibilities to travel the country for the next 12 months. But…

Structure Dictates Function
During the history taking aspect of a patient’s initial exam we like to discuss past traumas that patients may have encountered in their life time up until that very day. Often people overlook or forget traumas that they may have withstood. I like to remind patients that they are in the same bodies they have…

Take Three More Steps Before You Quit
Recently, while I was struggling through a particularly long uphill portion of a run during a very humid,muggy morning I was reminded of this advice: “Just take three more steps at the top before rest, trust me”. This advice was given to me many moons ago when I was a competitive long distance runner in…
