Wow!  Where has the summer gone?  I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months since my last entry about Change… How’s this for some change?  Care More has a new computer system; it’s been up and running smoothly since 1 July.  Everyone is loving the new program!  One of the most popular new features is the email or text appointment reminders.  There is a new credit card system which includes a secure autopay program.  Have you been getting e-mail or text reminders?  If not, ask Tiffany to set you up for the reminder of your choice.  It’s easy and you’ll never miss an appointment again.   Care More is also excited to announce that we have a new massage therapist, Charlotte.  Charlotte is an amazing therapist specializing in deep tissue, sports injury, TMJ, and pre-natal massage.  Schedule your summer massage today—her appointments fill quickly, so call to schedule today.

Back to school!  Curriculum nights, meet the teachers, and shopping for school supplies.  One purchase that often gets little thought, other than the color, is the backpack that the child will be carrying everyday!  This is actually one of the most important purchases that you make and can have a life long affect on your child’s development and health. Why?  If a backpack is the wrong size or if it is worn or used improperly, they can cause injuries and can impact your child’s developing spine.  The consequences can last a lifetimes.  Studies show that 64% of children have backpack related pain.  65% of adolescent Medical Doctor visits are due to back pack injuries.  3,300 children between the ages of 5-14 were treated in the ER for backpack related injuries.   What is causing these injuries?  When a young adult carries excess weight on their spine as they're growing and developing, it can create spinal misalignments ...

Time is just flying this year!   May is almost half over and I haven’t posted a single blog about Posture.   Since May is National Perfect Posture Month, I must rectify that! Yesterday was Mother’s Day—I was blessed to be able to spend the day celebrating and honoring all of the favorite “mom’s” in my life with family and friends.   What does Mother’s Day have to do with posture???   I don’t know about you, but growing up, my mom was always saying “Don’t slouch!”—When we were doing our homework, reading or watching T.V.   In fact, I would venture to say that all of us probably heard something about our posture from mom.   Mom was absolutely correct!   Posture is vital to our health and wellness.   However, times have changed!   (I know, a total shock, right?)   Technology (smart phones, iPads, and personal gaming devices) is wrecking havoc on our posture.   I see it all the time in young and old alike—people hunc...

May is National Posture Awareness Month.   My experience is that every time I say something about “posture” I immediately see a change—people sit up straighter and uncross their legs.   We all know we should have “correct posture” (I still hear mom saying no slouching!) but do you really know why posture is so important?   What is “correct posture?”    How important is my posture???   Are there exercises I can do to help my posture?     During the month of May, watch my Blog for the answers to these questions and more.   Do you have a posture question you’d like to see answered???   Let me know and I will answer your questions! In the meantime—Straighten Up for the health of it!   Dr. K

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”   Walt Disney What are your dreams?   Your hopes?   Your desires?   We all have them—that secret dream that thought, that wish of what we want to do or who we want to become today, this year, in our lifetime…   One of the many tools to help manifest these dreams is a Vision Board.   Vision Boards have been used for years; however, they have become more popular in recent years due to media surrounding the movie The Secret and Oprah Winfrey’s show, website, and magazine.   In a nutshell, a Vision Board is a collage of images and words of things you want to attract into your life or become.   It can be things you would like to have, where you want to live, vacation, or who you want to become, do, or be.   How does it work?   A vision bard works by activating the Laws of Attraction, which simply means that we attract anything we give our attention to.   The Law of Attraction is a U...
