Precision in anything involves the TWO C’s: 1. Carefulness (in Observation + Action), and 2. Comprehensiveness (knowing and applying all factors involved). #1 above starts with taking care to observe what you are observing. It involves intention to see and understand what is happening. A patient is asked to breathe in and out while standing still. The doctor observes this from the side of the patient. What does the doctor see? Well, the doctor knows that rib cage moves up

With ANY method of doing an ACTIVITY of any kind, the evolution of such is always towards more precision. Let’s take Kung Fu as an example. I had the opportunity to train for a short period with some of the best in the area, and one of the surprising details of learning Kung Fu was the amount of PRECISION necessary. And what that means in a martial art, is FORM. Keeping the FORM in. Not flinching but maintaining FORM no matter what punch is coming your way. The reasoning here

There is an existing concept (informally) in Chiropractic practice which is simply called the "Wow Effect". It is understood to be, "If you 'Wow' your patient on the first treatment, they will continue for more treatments". And continuing with more treatments is a good thing for both patient and the doctor. With a Big manuever done on the patient and a loud crack sound and the patient often exclaiming "Wow!" afterwards, this becomes the standard for a good beginning for b

Picture a Sail on a Sail-boat, catching a gust of wind, and with the sudden whipping sound of fabric being filled out. It now has taken on it's fully filled-out shape as it pulls the boat strongly forward. How does this possibly relate to the Human Rib Cage?! The Rib Cage also collects it's own "wind" from the inside, in the form of increased Hydraulic Pressure. But in this case, it's a way to deal with Spinal Misalignment to hold the body upright (despite the misalignmen

Think of a steel pole stuck in the ground with a wire cage hanging on one side of it. Is that cage going to pull on that pole in it's direction? Yes. Is that cage going to catch a wind gust occasionally and pull on it more? Yes. Now, let's apply this to human body. The pole above is your Spinal Column and the Cage is your Rib Cage. Of course you have a pelvis and legs and ankles and feet, but more on that later - I specifically want to address... The (mechanical) relatio

Definition of Bio-Mechanics= The mechanics of a living thing, specifically referred herein to the human skeletal system with it's muscles, ligaments (bone-to-bone), and tendons (muscle to bone); the movements and actions of these, and how that affects pain conditions. Definition of Bio-Hydraulics= The flow of fluids in the human body; pathological entrapment of these fluids, and how these affect pain and loss of functional movement of the human structure. These fluids includ

Do you ever feel like you don’t breathe enough during the day or night? Is it hard to breathe normally, like you used to, or is it hard to catch your breath? This is your body signaling that it's not getting enough oxygen, which it needs to survive. If you’re feeling air hunger now, then it means that this condition has been going on for a while. Oxygen, which is made up of two molecules, enters your body through the lungs, where it binds to hemoglobin (a protein that car

Some Chiropractors (depending on their technique/s) are good for getting you out of pain so that you suddenly started feeling, …but can also need many visits in a short period of time to do so. And these will likely not correct the underlying condition that lead to the pain in the first place. Some Chiropractors are good for getting you into a steady improvement over time, and with these, it will take many treatments and some time to get you into a somewhat (questionably) s

This is the first blog on my website for a reason. It’s so that you can find it and read it quickly. I realize that it was unusual for a Chiropractor to tell you to read a short blog and “...ONLY THEN to call back and schedule”. The reason for the necessity of this website blog is to help you discover what you want in a Chiropractor. Do you want a quick adjustment (and the way that you’re used to getting one)? Or are you actually looking for something different, that might
