The Antidote:

Many people come to my office in pain and looking for chiropractic care to get them out of pain. I understand this but at the same time I struggle with the idea because it is such a short-sighted view and in my mind, settling for a lot less than what is available to them. It is much like if a person had been bitten by a deadly poisonous snake and came to me just asking for something to ease their pain and suffering but the whole while, in my possession, I held the antidote to the poison. Would I just give them what they came and asked for? How do you think I would feel if I withheld the antidote and just gave them what they asked for? How should that person feel when they found out that I had the antidote and said nothing? Chiropractic care is like this...

We have so much to offer in the overall restoration and maintenance of normal function, health, and life. For a person to focus on the pain as the solution and the END is to miss the whole point of what chiropractic is. That is why, in this office, you hear it all--the whole story--so that no one will say to us, "Oh, I didn't know!" Now the choice is yours....Use chiropractic to just get you out of pain or stay with it and allow chiropractic care to change your whole life. We hope you will accept the antidote and not settle for anything less!

5 Lessons To Teach Your Kids

"Five Powerful Teaching Tools," as described in "The 10 Greatest Gifts I Give My Children," by Steven Vannoy:

FORWARD FOCUS. Be mindful of your family's accomplishments and pleasures; anticipate good things to come; know you can solve the problems that arise.

LISTEN. Give full attention to your child's thoughts, feelings and stories.

TEACH. Share what you know with your kids, but let their questions come through. Help them learn to think for themselves.

MESSAGES. Give enhancing and empowering ones. Catch your kids being good and celebrate even the smallest behavior that's part of your overall vision for them.

MODEL. Let your children see your own sense of worth, how you make choices, how you give of yourself to the family and the world.

Change a child's life

I am actively seeking the difficult, hopeless cases as well as anyone who is interested in raising children naturally and drug free from conception throughout their lives. This is my goal and my mission! If you want to change someone's life tell them about this practice and what we do here. There is hope... It comes from the miracle that was created in us that made our bodies!

"Gosh you're touchy, Dr. Ross"

Ok, so maybe at times I get a bit uptight, but words mean things!

I refer to the usage of "cracking my back" or "popping me"...It grates on me!

A person comes to a chiropractor and pays good money to get subluxations out of their lives. That is a chiropractic adjustment.

Any person can make a popping sound in a spine but that does not mean a subluxation is gone. It in fact that "popping" may create a subluxation.

If a chiropractor only goes on the sound, you could be walking away from the office poorer and still subluxated...We, in this office ADJUST...Touchy, but important!

Are you telling others about the miracle of innate intelligence?

Did You Know...

"In 1991, the Harvard Medical Practice Study reported the results of a population-based study of iatrogenic (doctor caused) injury in patients hospitalized in New York State in 1984. Nearly 4% of patients suffered an injury that prolonged their hospital stay or resulted in measurable disability. For New York state, this equaled 98,609 patients in 1984. Nearly 14% of these injuries were FATAL. If these rates are typical in the United States, then 180,000 people die each year partly as a result of iat rogenic (doctor caused) injury. this is the equivalent of three jumbo-jet crashes every 2 days.....Hum...don't they ground airlines for safety problems??!!....just a thought!

A good portion of wrist and hand pain have nothing to do with the wrist and hand? A simple muscle work at the ELBOW can help eliminate the symptoms...Best of all it is something you can do for yourself! Not familiar with it? Just ask us!

Valarian Root has a calming effect and can help to relax tense muscles.

KyoGreen would be a good thing to have on hand if you are stocking up for. It is a dry powdered "green drink" and is mixed in water. We can order it for you at a discount.

We have a "stuff to help out" page that gives simple things you can do for a variety of problems...Haven't seen it? Ask and we will get you a copy.

If you sit for long periods of time at work or traveling your psoas muscle may create problems for you...Does this sound familiar? "While you sit you are fine and once you are upright you are fine but when you go to stand up it is a problem"? That scenario is psoas and can be addressed. There is a simple stretch and muscle work to almost eliminate the problem.

Chiropractic care has been shown to increase athletic performance in the healthy, non-symptomatic, high-performance athlete? WOW!

In 7 years of a money-back guarantee in the office we have NEVER had to give a patients money back! When a person follows the suggested program your body will change for the better!

Christmas is coming in July this year!!!!!

Special Announcement!

Coming soon in your mail will be an announcement of the change we have introduced in the office.

We have eliminated the free exam card in our office. We have implemented what I have talked about doing for years: a chiropractic orientation night.

All new patients will attend one orientation. If you are a current patient that has not attended one, there is a $$$$$ incentive for you to do so. We are offering a $25 credit to your account for attending the one hour orientation. For the non-patient who attends and decides they want to start chiropractic, their exam will be done at no cost to them.

The Orientation will be held in the office every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month (more frequently if the need arises). Additional days or times will be considered on a request basis. The Orientation is set for 6:15 to 7:15.

So why should you come? The orientation is designed to enlighten and refresh your knowledge on chiropractic but mostly give you additional tools to live a healthy drug-free life style.

This, too, is the place to bring those people that you are talking to about starting chiropractic but they are unsure. They will have a non-threatening way to find out first hand the benefits of their decision for chiropractic care.

I have a mission...a goal...a dream...to see people living life to the fullest without subluxations robbing them of life. Will you help me in seeing that goal a reality?...Please, tell your friends, strangers, and family about this then bring them in kicking and screaming if necessary...you WILL change their life!
