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 […]
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. Along with New York, the Los Angeles regions of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood have more chiropractors per square mile than any other parts of the world. San Francisco, Boston and Chicago also have high concentrations of chiropractors, so people living […]

I’ve got flat feet; some call it fallen arches, but the most accurate term for my actual foot dysfunction is overpronation. Let me explain: While it is true that my arches collapse under the weight of my body when I step down on the ground, giving my feet a flat appearance, it is because of […]
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 […]
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?
