It’s astonishing the number of people who think pooping every other day or a couple of times a week is normal. Did you know you should be pooping every day? I ask almost everyone who walks into my office about their elimination habits. “Hello, how are you? How are you pooping?” It makes for excellent small talk...
Read MoreI’ve been reflecting a lot lately on my pregnancy and life since my baby was born. Outside of the obvious miracle of giving birth to my beautiful daughter, labor and delivery were pretty straightforward. I read books about pregnancy and childbirth, but I never really considered what happens after that. Pregnancy was difficult for me both physically and mentally, so I thought if I could get through that and natural childbirth surely I could handle the aftermath. I was wrong.

I have a confession to make. I have been distracted. Not distracted in my work, but distracted in my life. The only moments I have felt focused are in my treatment room, with my eyes closed, working with a patient. I have seen best with my eyes closed. I don't know how many times lately I have found myself looking at people but not seeing them. What a huge space there is between looking at a person and seeing a person.
Do you or someone you know suffer from chronic low back pain or neck pain caused by sciatic pain, spinal stenosis or a herniated/bulging disc? If so, Accu Spina IDD Therapy® (otherwise known as spinal decompression), may be the treatment option for you. Many patients that suffer from low back/neck issues are faced with very few options when they go to see their medical doctor or surgeon. When you go to your M.D. after suffering from a herniated disc you will have an MRI to determine where the bulge is.
Read MoreMany of you who have been to the office over the past 2 weeks may have noticed a big machine while walking to Dr. Amanda’s room and wondered what it is used for. It is an Accu-Spina IDD Therapy® machine, otherwise known as a spinal decompression table. It is an excellent treatment option for patients who are suffering from neck or low back issues.
Read MoreBeing a mom is hard. Being a parent is hard. Being married is hard. And sometimes resentment sneaks in. Maybe you knew it was there, maybe you didn't and it seems like it came out of nowhere.
Read MoreWhenever someone has asked me in the past why I became a chiropractor my answer has been a pretty uninspiring one. My answer has been, "I worked for a chiropractor in high school, I thought it was cool, I majored in something else and did other things and then came back to chiropractic because something about it resonated with me." That's it, in a nutshell. I've never thought a whole lot more about it. This is what I do, this is what I love, and that has been enough.
Read MoreIt's cold and flu season again and I swear it has come earlier than usual to our house. We have already been through hand, foot and mouth and a nasty, nasty cold and it's just the beginning of December! I will give some credit to my kids though, usually when they get sick, they cycle through it pretty quickly. We don't get a cough or congestion that sticks around for months (knock on wood).
Read MoreDr. Brogan was talking about checking B12, Vitamin D, thyroid levels (and some other things I don't remember) and about healing the gut to heal depression. Depression not only post partum but in all stages of life. Looking back at the other times in my life when I have felt that way, it totally makes sense. Regardless of the emotional stress that was going on at the time, hormonally and bacterially, something was off that I was blaming on my mind.
Read MoreDoing dishes last night I was listening to my kids laughing and splashing while daddy gave them a bath. For the second time that day I thought, "man, I wish this stage lasted forever." My babies are innocent and loving and such bright little lights and I completely take it for granted.
