This month I’ve had two bouts of sharp neck and shoulder pain.  Both of them occurred after I lost my NUCCA adjustment.  I don’t usually have too much pain when I’m out of alignment, but this helped to remind me of what I was like before chiropractic care.
People need NUCCA! I sure do!  I’m so [...]

A blast from the past!
In July 2008, I was interviewed by Dr. Richard Gracer of Gracer Medical Group in San Ramon, CA.  He was interested in the article published in the Journal of Human Hypertension, a peer-reviewed journal, regarding the study done at the University of Chicago showing that NUCCA reduces blood pressure.  The 50 [...]

Last July, I gave birth to a darling baby boy.
Before I talk about how easy the whole pregnancy, labor and delivery were, I want to make sure you know I am under NUCCA care.  That fact is the main thing that enabled me to get pregnant easily, the baby to grow healthy and strong, the [...]

I had a cold last week.  Unfortunately, I passed it on to my six-month-old.  I immediately started giving him some homeopathic remedies.  He’s been breastfed his whole life, so I knew he was getting antibodies from me to help him fight off the cold virus.
I checked his spine, and although he had been holding his [...]

The other day I was on a walk with my son when I saw a sweet little lady trying unsuccessfully to carry a large pad of paper and a box while pushing her walker.  The paper kept falling on the ground.  I stopped to help her carry these gifts and more into her apartment for [...]

My grandma died suddenly.  She had been in fairly good health, until she choked on a piece of meat, went into a coma and was gone in a week.  Many of you have a similar story of a loved one who was suddenly taken from you.
We don’t usually know how much time we have on [...]

It’s amazing what we get used to.
Some people deal with pain daily and think it’s normal.  Some people don’t know how to find relief.
Some families live in a small home with everyone sharing rooms and other families live in mansions where there are plenty of extra rooms or even wings of the house that are [...]

I was at the NUCCA conference last week and, as always, I was inspired.  I wanted to share some of my inspiration with you. 
There were many things I learned in the three day conference.  Some of them were technical skills: details of taking films, analyzing films and adjusting patients.  These were perhaps the most obvious [...]

I was born into a very natural family.  My mom would make our clothes, baby food, and anything else she could.  We even drank cod liver oil daily.  After my birth-mom died when I was two, the family became less holistic, although we still continued to eat quite healthily.  There was no processed cheese-food, margarine [...]
