Putting things into perspective, keep pushing on!

I think this quote it appropriate for today... If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome." Happy Wednesday!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." --Marianne Williamson

The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose.--Mitch Albom Happy Friday Everyone!

Hopefully, you'll think twice about drinking that next soda.

Unless your spine is in proper alignment, your nervous system can't function at 100% resulting in the inability of the body to heal itself.

Osteoarthritis is called degenrative joint disease or hypertrophic arthritis. Forty million Americans, including 80% of people over 50, suffer from osteoarthritis. It often affects the hands, but it is commonly found in weight bearing joints such as knees and hips. The spine, with it's numerous joints, is especially vunerable. Years of spinal misalignment causes irreversible changes that could have been dealt with at the Chiropractor's office. Schedule an appointment today and learn how Chiropractic care can help osteoarthritis.

Chronic stomach ache, also called nervous stomach or dyspepsia, is a common stomach condition. Another is an ulcer, which occurs when the powerful acids and digestive juices start to eat through the stomach and intestines-a very painful condition. As early as 1921, it was discovered that spinal abnormalities could cause stomach, esophagus, duodenum and intestinal disorders. In a later study, 87% of a group of adolescents suffering from duodenal and/or gastric ulcer were found to have "pelvic distortion" and "blockage" in the spine. Utilizing the art of the chiropractic adjustment, your doctor of chiropractic will correct your subluxations; this will result in improved function of your glans and organs.

Exactly what we tell our patients everyday.

Neuritis, bursitis, neuralgia, rheumatism, frozen shoulder, sprain/strain, "poor circulation" and rotator cuff problems are some of the terms used to describe neck, shoulder and arm conditions. Some nerves go straight to their point of destination, but some first mix with other nerves to form complicated nerve networks called a nerve "plexus." The brachial plexus is made up of nerves that come out of the middle and lower neck along with the upper back. After they form the bra...chial plexus they branch off to supply different areas, especially the shoulders, arms elbows, wrists, hands and fingers. Injury to this area can cause numbness, tingling, loss of sensation and pain of any kind. By adjusting the spine, we correct the cause of the problem and allow 100% function! Call today and ask how Chiropractic care can help your shoulder! (412)655-2407 See more

The condition of the week is Sciatica Your sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in your body. It begins in your lower back as five smaller nerves joining together and extends to your pelvis, thigh, knee, calf, ankle, foot and toes. When this large nerve becomes inflammed the condition is called Sciatica and the pain can be intense! The pain may follow the path of your nerve-down the back of your legs and thighs, down to your ankle, foot and toes. Along with pain the...re may be burning, pins and needles, tingling, prickling, and tenderness. This usually is caused by a vertebrae being out of position.The good news is Chiropractic can help! By adjusting the spine, it takes the pressure off of the Sciatic nerve and allows for these symptoms to subside along with a better functioning nervous system! Give us a call today and see how Chiropractic care can help your Sciatica. (412) 655-2407 See more

Whiplash can cause all sorts of crazy symptoms. These symptoms can range from vertigo, severe headaches, tinnitus, and concussion related issues. Chiropractic works with the body to help heal from within. By restoring the proper alignment between the vertebra, the nervous system has a chance to fully operate at 100%. Chiropractic adjustments help aid in any healing process. Get well soon Geno! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRwBHtpEx6A

Do headaches rob you of quality time with your family and friends? Do headaches affect your performance at work or at home? Do you start each day by taking a pain pill? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, then you need to make an appointment for a no obligation evaluation.

Pain pills only mask the symptom. They do nothing to correct the cause of the pain. Let us get to the root of your problem and start living a happy life again.

The condition of the week is headaches The ache in headache does not come from your brain. The brain cannot feel pain. It is estimated that 75% of all headaches originate from the neck. Your cervical spinal nerves lie in small openings between your vertebrae. When these nerves become irritated, inflammed or pinched, headaches or neck pain can result. We have helped thousands of patients suffering with headaches by performing spinal adjustments, which alleviates the pressure on the nerve. Give us a call today and learn more about how Chiropractic can help your headaches! 412-655-2407
