Happy Week To YOU!
Here in Northern Nevada, the weather is spring-like! But of course, we are known for crazy March weather… so no planting yet!
I had a patient that I was seeing for complaints in her neck. She had a long history of neck issues.

Vitamin D May Be the Missing Supplement
How many times have we heard the statement, “I’m going outside to get my dose of Vitamin D”? But have you ever wondered why it’s important?
You may be asking, “what the heck is she talking about now?”
Each of us has the capacity to feel pain. It is an innate part of being alive and is a warning sign to help with the preservation of function and life.

Happy New Year! May This Be The Year Of YOU!!!!
As we round off the first week without seeing the sky fall, it’s time to begin hunkering down on all we have planned and dreamed of.
I was recently talking with a client about her goals for the upcoming year.

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, no one stirred as I paced quietly as a mouse.
Sciatic pain had broken my slumber.
No jingle bells jingled or sounds of joy came forth.
I recently had a question about the use of an inversion table for back and neck pain. As this isn’t a topic I’ve addressed with you before…
Here we go!
Continue reading “Inversion Tables and Back Pain”
I recently began seeing a new client. She came to me because of chronic low back pain that has been ongoing for the last 8 years. Upon getting started with The Healthy Back Program, she reported several abdominal surgeries including: 1 appendectomy, 1 C-section, and 1 hysterectomy. All her imaging shows only minimal arthritic changes in her spine.

I wanted to share with you about a medical patient I saw this week. She is 50 years old and does have some medical conditions, that are mostly stable in my medical opinion. As we were reviewing her previous year’s health and wellness status, she made an off-hand comment about her husband teasing her about her love of TP. With a little more prodding, I discovered she was having “leaking” issues.

Did you know stress can be both good and bad? Most of us usually think about stress and anxiety as negative aspects. What we know is positive stress (eustress) is actually helpful for health, excitement, and motivation in life.
The problem happens when our minds go from a solution-orientation to one of overthinking or worrying. We begin to let the “monkey mind” control our narrative. Unfortunately, this narrative is usually negative in nature.

I always knew I was clumsy. I used to joke with people, “I came into this world falling down, I’ll most likely go out the same way!” I would even add, “I’ve fallen down so much, I’m now very graceful on the way down!”
As I’ve gotten into my 40’s, I’m no longer using these phrases. I don’t want to fall. I’ve discovered, I don’t bounce as well as I did in my 30’s. And I certainly don’t recover from a fall like I was in my teens!

What if I told you failure does equal success? What would you say? Would it be something like, “There is no way that is true!” Or “If you failed, then you didn’t succeed!” Or “failure is the opposite of success.”
But I’d like to propose that indeed, this is true. Especially when we are trying new things or attempting a change in our lives.
