2012 Top 4 Reasons To Visit A Chiropractor

It might be tough to beat last year’s “Top 4 Reasons To Visit A Chiropractor” but here is this year’s list:

#4 – You are a member of the subphylum Vertebrata.

#3 – Stress, irritation and/or pressure on nerves lowers your health potential.

#2 – You are “sick and tired of being sick and tired!”

#1 – Because Dr. Phil said so…

Here is a link to Dr. Mancini’s book:

The Power of Self-Healing: Unlock Your Natural Healing Potential in 21 Days!

It’s Here At Last

Okay, if you have read many of my previous posts, you may have reached the conclusion that I like Jillian Michaels’ workout DVDs. I like that most of the workouts can be done in 30-45 minutes which works better with my schedule. I like that I can workout at home and not in a crowded gym where I have to fight for space or wait on equipment. I hear some great stuff about P90X and Insanity (I have not tried them), but one thing that might reduce my compliance would be the time commitment. I recently heard about Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. A whole bunch of workout DVDs, workout schedules, meal plans, recipes, daily journal all in one package…and the workouts are only 30 minutes! Had to get it!

I ordered it online, and I have felt like Ralphie in A Christmas Story, checking the mailbox everyday for his Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring! Disappointment everyday…until today. Here it is folks:



All  bundled up in one well packaged box. I’m excited to check it all out. Although, I exercise regularly, I haven’t worked out following a prescheduled set of workouts since my wrestling days in college. I just pop in whatever DVD fits my time schedule and energy level. I’m trying to look at this as having a coach guide me through the process over 90 days. Another new wrinkle will be that my wife and I are starting this latest fitness expedition together (we usually workout separately). Don’t fear, I won’t be doing a blog daily on the process, but I’m sure I’ll have some updates along the way. Wish us luck!!!

Summer Blockbuster???

I am not a big fan of going to the movie theater, just ask my family! Honestly, I just don't like paying $8.50 for a matinee, just to go sit in a dark room in a comfortable seat, because 9 times out of 10...I fall asleep and I just forked out money to take a nap!

But, as I was looking through Twitter at posts about chiropractic this morning, I came across a movie trailer that sparked my attention. Now, most people realize that the chiropractic profession and the medical community have not always played nicely together. Frankly, the groups still don't always foster the best relationships. I don't have the time or room here to give you all the sordid details of the past, but if your interested just look up Wilk vs The AMA. Thankfully, producer Jeff Hayes has been inspired to do a documentary called Medical, Inc. Hopefully, the film will bring to light a major source behind so many falsehoods and misconceptions that the chiropractic community, as well as anybody else with an opinion that differed from the medical association, has had to fight for way too long.

Here's the movie trailer. Be on the lookout for the film in Summer 2012 according to the movie's website.

WHAT Was That Sound?!?!?!

After you read the title you might be thinking, “oh, it’s just another explanation of the strange noises that come out of my spine during and adjustment.” Well, stay with me because this is about a totally different unusual sound that you might hear in a chiropractic office! This short video will hopefully help answer your questions and ease your mind.
