From a heart of thankfulness

Thank you all who supported out bigger vision of helping out the Vancouver community by donating a bag of food. We were able to raise over $500 of food for those less fortunate and our Body In Balance community really made a big impact. I know you hear my speak it all the time, but I have a true vision of getting our community healthier, and it starts with hearts of gold. It's one thing to have the body in good physical shape so we can do and enjoy the things of life. When we are in a great state of thankfulness and generosity is where we can see tremendous growth.

This long weekend gave me a great opportunity to reflect on the many blessings our good Lord has given me. I have a beautiful wife (as I'm sure you would agree) a great family wellness practice, a wonderful son, and one on the way. God has given me a roof over my head and people to serve. What more could I ask for? I know it is hard times with people who have unfairly lost their jobs, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to serve those who want to better than health through chiropractic care. My vision is to double the amount of people under care by next year. They don't have to come and see us at BIB, but when people choose to heal naturally and not use drugs and surgery for care, the community wins! Please continue to spread the good word. Share your successes with family and friends. If there is a loved one or friend that you think should get checked for nerve interference, please let them know about our warm office. We purposefully are cherry all the time (if you haven't noticed). Our office is a place where you can come, be greeted by name, and treated with respect and LOVE. Yes, love wins every time, and if you have learned an ounce of anything by being under care, it's that sharing love and hope is half the battle. To be given back something you lost through the natural healing process of the body leaves me breathless. So I will continue to practice with passion, continue to extend a hand of help, and continue to fill my practice with families who want better health. It has and will always be my pleasure to serve you and your family for many years to come.

Thank you for being such a great practice member.

Yours in health,

Dr. Scott

Scroll no further for these fun facts about your spine

Here are some fun facts that you didn’t know about your spine -As we get older, it’s not uncommon to lose about an inch in height.  This is due to the discs in your spine wearing down and “shrinking”. -Most humans are born with 33 vertebrae (“backbones”).   However, some naturally fuse together as we grow and we end up with 26 as adults. -Both humans and giraffes have 7 cervical vertebrae (neck bones).  However, a giraffe’s neck is about as long as a full grown human is tall. -A newborn human spine is C-shaped.  The S-shape develops as the baby learns to hold their head up, crawl, and ultimately walk.  It’s the S-Shape that allows us to walk upright with two legs. -You wake up in the morning slightly taller than when you went to bed.  This is because your discs (essentially your shock absorbers) tend to lose water throughout the day due to supporting your bodyweight.  Sleeping at night gives the discs a chance to rest, rehydrate, and thus make you taller in the morning.

Sciatica- It's a thing!

Hi all, This past year I’ve been teaching both human biology and general biology to students at Clark College.  Thus you haven’t seen a new blog from me in quite some time.  I thought now would be a great time to get started again by blogging about an all too common aliment known as sciatica (sciatica= irritation to the sciatic nerve causing leg pain). Before I get started on that, note that the word doctor comes from the Latin word doc ēre, meaning “to teach”.   I’ve been busy lately teaching college student’s complex neurological pathways.  The sciatic nerve pathway, like many others, is fairly complex.  If I were teaching my college students I would explain how the sciatic nerve originates from anterior and posterior divisions of the lumbosacral plexus (L4-5 and S1-3), the nerve roots then join together forming the sciatic nerve,  pass through the sciatic notch, down the thigh to the popliteal fossa, and then split into the tibial and common fibular nerves.  It’s been a rewar

Back hurting this holiday season? You may be forgetting about this one significant cause.

Oh, the holidays…. Sigh.  Remember when you were a kid and how much you looked forward to Christmas?  It seemed like it took forever to come, and when it did you were so excited for all those new toys!  Fast forward to adulthood and now it seems that Christmas arrives faster than you can prepare for it, you don’t have a 2 week Christmas Break and instead you have to work, you’re responsible financially for everything, and you have to do all the shopping/planning/coordinating/ect. Sound familiar? To some, it may seem more of a hassle than joy with all the stress that comes with the holidays. Many of you probably notice that your back or neck gets tight and starts hurting during this season due to stress.  We like to categorize stress into three groups: physical, chemical, and emotional.  Physical stress is usually obvious; like lifting the Christmas tree or going up and down on the ladder all day to put up lights. Chemical stress is also noticeable this time of year: cookies, candy,
