The pain can reach the toes in some cases, and will change your gait and make movement fairly miserable. These symptoms can be pretty scary, and most ... Read more »
So you say you want to be a triathlete…
Those of you that know me well understand my love for running. I've been doing it for 18+ years, and have always found it to be my safety, my comfort, and my de-stressor. Last year I found that racing was a little less exciting than it used to be, and decided to spread my wings, step out of my comfort zone, and do something radical. I signed up for a ... Read more »

Do you find that your neck feels great for a few days following your chiropractic visits, but the soreness tends to return?

An acute injury is anything that occurs following an activity, ... Read more »

Bobbie’s home-made powerbars
If you're like me, most traditional "health-food" bars just don't make the cut. There are a few I like, such as Lara bars (they're raw!), however most nutrition bars are nothing more than a candy bar with a healthy sounding name. In fact, a snickers just might be healthier than some of the options out there. Palm kernel oil? Hydrogenated oils? We sometimes forget that labels matter when it comes ... Read more »
