Don’t Cramp Your Style
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with severe leg cramps? If you have, you know it’s a painful situation. Sometimes, you can even see the calf muscle contract and go into spasm right before your very eyes. Unfortunately, it happens to many people at one time or another. For the […]
EFAs – Nature’s Beauty Secret for Healthy Skin
About thirty years ago, before my days as a chiropractor in Palm Desert and West Hollywood, I suffered horribly from a traumatic case of dry, itchy skin. Not only was I compelled to scratch at all moments of the day, but I also found myself in constant pain as the dry patches started to burn […]
State of Balance
Balance is a term with many meanings: It’s an instrument to measure weight, a means of judging or deciding, the equality between the totals of two sides of an account, or, in metaphysics, “a point between two opposite forces that is desirable over purely one state or the other”.

How to Find a Chiropractor: Everything you need to know to find the right chiropractor for you.
I have been a practicing chiropractor for twent-three years. I work in perhaps the most chiropractically concentrated region of the country.

Tennis Elbow: Pain Year Round for Some – Treating and Preventing Lateral Epicondylitis

Pain Free Scoliosis: How to Have Your Back Evaluated and Treated for Scoliosis
In a career spanning twenty-two years of practice and fifteen years typing away at the keyboard, I am shocked to realize that I have never written a piece on scoliosis. I know, I know…scoliosis and chiropractic go together like bee stings and EpiPens; but alas, I have not found until now to write about it, […]
It’s Rarely Just A Quick Adjustment: The Importance of Getting Examined
Being examined is essential when beginning care in any doctor’s office. In my office, it is non-negotiable, although plenty of potential clients call with the belief that they “just need an adjustment.” While this may be so, it may also not be so, as the story I am about to disclose will show. But I […]

As we enter a new era, one more dependent on technology than ever, injuries we sustain can take on a new level of disability.

Why Does It Hurt So Badly When I Breathe? And How To Fix It…
“It hurts to breathe.” Have you ever said these words? Did you mean them literally, or were you trying to say that you carried out something grueling, like an ass-kicking workout, or that you worked your third restaurant shift in a row, or even after you were injured from a fall or car crash? Sometimes […]
