Time To Eat Healthy

If you don't make time for good nutrition now, you will eventually have to make time for poor health.

Try Chiropractic First

When your spine isn't aligned, your muscles have to bear the extra load and will become tight, painful, and inflamed. Before resorting to NSAIDs, (​nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) try chiropractic. *SPINE Volume 28, Number 7, pp 540-548 (April 2013)

Outsmart fall allergies and figure out what's the best plan of action for you to stave off symptoms

If it feels like ...intense pressure in your cheeks and brow then it is probably sinus pain.  When sinus cavities become inflamed the membranes swell and entrap the  infraorbital nerve reating a brain freeze effect.  Also when sinus cavities become inflamed the mucuc inside the sinuses can't drain out.  This results in congestion and pressure and pain.

My treatment protocol:

1. Release the soft tissues of head and neck to stimulate lymphatic drainage.
2. Acupressure points for sinus pain relief.
3. Adjusting the upper neck which effects the nervous system to the sinuses.
4. Saline spray/ netti pot to wash out the sinuses.
5. Use of air purifier.

Be well,

• Support Equal Copay for Patients of Chiropractic

• Support Equal Copay for Patients of Chiropractic


We need our patients' help!

Please encourage your patients who would benefit from equal copay for chiropractic treatment to utilize the following information (link) to ask your State Legislators to support SB 547.

Chiropractors did a terrific job in communication our patents' message which resulted in SB 547 getting passed out of the Oklahoma Senate Insurance Committee. Now that it's out of committee, the insurance companies are going to come out strong in opposition to your patients paying equal copay for similar treatments.

While the voice of our chiropractors is strong, we're going to need our patients to join you in letting Oklahoma's elected officials know how popular this is to their constituents. Hope my patients join in spreading this message.

The difference between PCP and Specialist co payments is great. For example, patients may pay $25 per visit to a PCP and $50 - $75 per visit to a specialist. Specialist’s, such as a surgeon, charges normally will be in excess of $200.00 per visit plus any additional charges. A co pay for a chiropractic visit between $50 and $75 leaves the total or most of the cost for the visit in the hands of the patient.
• This bill will simply say to the insurance provider that a chiropractic co pay cannot be greater than a PCP co pay.
• This bill does not set mandates or co pay amounts nor does it state what is or is not covered.
• Summary: No health insurer may impose any copayment or coinsurance amount on an insured for services rendered by a licensed chiropractic physician that is greater than the copayment or coinsurance amount

Deception Diet: How Optical Illusions Can Trick Your Appetite : The Salt : NPR:

click on the above link:

Using a smaller plate, slowing down, being mindful of what you eat, limiting eating alone, eating with a male, and drinking from a taller glass all create an illusion to how you eat.
Try these techniques and find yourself being a healthier food consumer.
