Sports and Chiropractic Care Life is great when you can enjoy your favorite activities and sports is a common activity of interest for so many people. Unfortunately, there are times when these sports related activities cause you injury. As a result, either immediately or gradually – you’re unable to continue enjoying your sport because of injuries that did not heal. Sort of insult over injury.

Metabolism in Weight Management
Posted on 08/22/2015Diets create a lose / lose scenario where the glass is constantly seen as half full, of being denied things. When we replace the word Energy in weight management, meaning Energy Management, we are now dealing with a win / win scenario where the glass now becomes half full.

When Chicago White Sox minor-league Greg Shepard remembers his life-altering sports injury in 2000 where he slammed into the left center field wall chasing a fly ball, let’s say his words are simple: “The wall won.” The next morning, Shepard woke up virtually paralyzed. “I couldn’t lift my body out of bed, turn my head or move my right arm,” says Shepard. Naturally, his wife at the time wanted to rush him to the emergency room straight-away. But Shepard had something else in mind. “I…
