Neck and Shoulder Pain Fixed
May 26th, 2011
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 [...]
Interview with Richard Gracer, M.D.
May 9th, 2011
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 [...]
NUCCA and Childbirth: My Experience
February 3rd, 2011
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 [...]
My Infant Son, His Cold, and NUCCA
January 24th, 2011
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 [...]
“Christmas” Gift Ideas
December 9th, 2010
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 [...]
Make the Most of Your Life; Make a Difference!
June 22nd, 2010
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 [...]
The Healing Power of the Body Has Limits
June 2nd, 2010
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 [...]
NUCCA Spring Conference Insights
April 29th, 2010
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 [...]
How Did I Get Into NUCCA Chiropractic?
February 23rd, 2010
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 [...]
