The REAL New Year


It’s that time of year again!  It’s time for those gym memberships to spike and 24hour fitness stocks to rise.  You did know that losing weight/starting to workout is one of the most common New Year’s Resolutions, right?  Just do a Google search for “Top New Year’s Resolutions” and it’s probably on every single list.   Other common resolutions include reducing stress, getting more sleep, and just to live a healthier lifestyle (all things Chiropractic can help with!) 

What’s preventing you from keeping that Resolution beyond the month of January each year?  Do your knees ache after running too much on a treadmill?  Do you throw your back out due to excessive weight training?  Or do you just feel like it’s too much and need that extra something to keep you going?  Chiropractic may be your answer. 

Chiropractic will help reduce fatigue, balance muscle groups, increase range of motion, and eliminate pain and inflammation among many other positive things.  So do your knees really ache because of a muscle imbalance in your quads and hamstrings?  Does your back go out because of a mis-aligned spinal bone?  So do you lose motivation and need a health coach along the way?


Dr. Scott and I both have a strong background in exercise and sports science in addition to Chiropractic.  We’ve both gone through formal training to help athletes and avid gym goers achieve their goals.  We are both happy to help our patients achieve much more than relieving neck and back pain.  We are here to help our patients achieve maximum wellness.

Although Chiropractic cannot simply make you lose weight, it can help you achieve that goal among other goals to live a healthier lifestyle.  Most importantly chiropractic can not only treat the aches and pains you may be dealing with, but it prevents injury and re-injury through regular Chiropractic visits.


Those of you who have experienced chiropractic you know firsthand how it can help you live a healthier life and complement your New Year’s Resolution.  For those of you that have not, please make chiropractic a part of how you will achieve your New Year’s Resolution.

Yours in Health,

Dr Bryan

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 ...

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 ...

Sitting is killing YOU!

Headaches and Prolonged Sitting If you’re someone that spends many hours a day seated at a desk or working on a computer, chances are you will or already do suffer from headaches.  Reason being is that sitting for prolonged periods of time produces static tension on the muscles that hold your head up.  Think of it this way: the human head weighs about the same as a bowling ball. Would you think it would be easier for you to hold a bowling ball with one arm straight OR close by your side? When you sit at a computer desk you are asking the muscles of the neck to work harder than they should. This chronic tension causes the nerves to be upset which can refer pain into the head producing headaches.  Sometimes it may even refer down into the arms causing numbness and/or tingling.  Simply put, we as humans are not designed to be sitting 8-12 hours a day in front of a computer.  So here are a few tips to help reduce this tension: -Take frequent breaks (very impo...
