We are open today normal hours and closed tomorrow and Friday HAPPY NEW YEAR! With the covid restrictions and places we can not visit it's a great time to start working on our health. Let's make 2021 our healthiest year!

Merry Christmas!

I am sure you have heard the saying our kids are our future. Most would agree it is not healthy to let your kids gaming or playing on the computer 4-6 hours a day 5 days a week mentally, physically and socially, yet this is what we are forced to do in most of our school districts. If you believe our kids should have the opportunity to go to school in person start bombarding the school board members of your district on Facebook with comments and calling in on the next board me...eting. Seeing the frustration and breakdown in my own kids with virtual learning, I am truly concerned for the kids who do not have the home support. I can not believe any member who knows someone with kids doesn't understand the mental disorders that may come out this will far outweigh the covid risks in a controlled environment(masks, quarantine, even virtual for 2 weeks before holidays to protect grandparents and relatives). We can all go to Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Martins, Sam's club with hundreds of people many wearing masks not even covering their nose, why can't the kids receive a good healthy education in person with risk management measures in place. Those parents who are high risk still have the option of virtual learning and keeping their kids home. See more

Get moving! Life is motion. I am seeing a lot patients becoming sedimentary since this covid outbreak. I had several patients today having trouble sleeping and suffering with aches and pains from just sitting or laying around. If this is you just get outside and take 15-20minute walk everyday you will feel better physically, mentally and emotionally and it's free. Suppose to be beautiful today with a fresh coat of snow coming and coving everything up.

Covid Vaccine: I am getting a lot questions regarding this vaccine. I can not give you a good educated answer for or against the covid vaccine so currently I am neutral on the subject. Pfizer and BioNTech are making a vaccine that uses RNA to cause our own cells to make a viral protein. Our immune systems encounter the protein and make antibodies and immune cells that can recognize the protein quickly and deliver a swift attack. This vaccine is a RNA based vaccine which i...s the new vaccine model. Click this link to get an idea how that works. Other companies are using this model as well. https://www.phgfoundation.org/briefing/rna-vaccines Now kids and young adults do not have near the mortality of older adults of covid. So, is the unknown risk of the vaccine really worth it their case? Here is a link from science magazine on some short term side effects. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/370/6520/1022 We can only speculate what the long term side effects could be since they do not have the data yet. There is some speculation of possible autoimmune complications.

Happy Thanksgiving! Good luck to the bargain hunters today and deer hunters tomorrow!

Our hours will be the same as always during the Holiday Week. If you are going to walk in after 11:30 or after 5 this week give us a call so we know you are coming. We typically take off after the last appointment which on these weeks can be a little earlier then usual.

As most you of you know I believe in maintaining a healthy immune system trumps all (no pun intended) and we are not going to be able to hide from covid its going to run it's course. However, with the holidays coming up and in the midst of the cold and flu season, I do believe we need to protect our parents and grandparents. You don't know how many more holidays you have with them, so this is the time to really do your best to protect yourself from the virus to protect them, wear a n95 mask and really clean your hands over the next week before Thanksgiving. As always eat well, sleep well, relax and stay well adjusted.
