As a chiropractor, I’ve often said that my competition is not the other chiropractor down the street. My competition is over-the-counter drugs, such as Tylenol, medications that “self-treating” patients use for short-term relief. OTC drugs like acetaminophen, e.g. Tylenol, are the most common approach used to “self-treat” for back pain, neck pain and osteoarthritis. Furthermore, a medical […]
We are having a drawing for one of our patients and a guest to play in the 2015 Howard R. Miller Memorial Golf Outing with Dr. Weisel. Think of it as golfing in an Am-Am with Dr. Weisel. You’ve heard of a Pro-Am, right? That’s where golfers who sign up to play in the tournament will be paired […]
When you have back pain, the faster you can get back to work, back to the activities you enjoy—back to life in general—the better. Although effective, chiropractic manipulative therapy (CMT) is oftentimes dismissed in favor of standard medical care (SMC) only. But what if I told you that chiropractic care could actually get you back faster? […]
No BLTs — At Least Not All Three at the Same Time Disclaimer: By “No BLTs” I do not actually mean no bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwiches.

The reason is because the first provider strongly influences what is ordered/prescribed, […]
You have heard it said that weak muscles lead to back injury. There is some truth to that statement. You have also heard that having good core strength will prevent back injury. Again, there is some truth to that, but it’s not all about core. Your core is half of the equation. Your back being […]

Galaxy Gear? Fitbit? Jawbone? Garmin? Fuelband? Apple iWatch? An app on your smartphone? Old-school pedometer? It doesn’t really matter. I don’t care what kind of wearable activity tracker you use, just do something to measure your activity. Measuring your physical activity raises awareness of how much you move. Physical activity is movement. And, moving more […]
Chiropractic care is not for everyone. Chiropractic care is a drug-free, noninvasive way to manage pain and improve function. Chiropractic care is not a “cure all” for any and all health problems.
