The Elderly And Chiropractic Care It is common knowledge that throughout life we go through minor or even major injuries. But nature – being as powerful as it is – we heal.

President Duterte’s Neck Problem President Duterte is frequently seen on TV being interviewed or making speeches and he has what may seem to some as a nervous tic on the right side of his neck.

Chiropractors learn a lot about body biomechanics, biochemistry, physiology…

Parlor sink Radiculopathy Martha Welling has become self-conscious about the way her hair has looked these days so she has visited her hair dresser more often – like almost weekly. She then started to experience an increase in neck pains, pain and numbness running down her arm and an in crease in headaches. These are signs of parlor sink radiculopathy.

As we open this topic I would like to point our readers to a National Posture Campaign that can provide useful tools to improve posture. The best way to make the case is to let…
We work or study hard most days of the week, then on weekends, isn’t nice to just sleep in? Yea! But sadly, most people complain that they feel groggy or worse have body pains after they oversleep on a weekend. Shouldn’t we feel better and more rested after longer sleep? Why is that?

So her friend asked her: “Why do you undergo Chiropractic maintenance? Didn’t the doctor fix you the first time?” A simple…
