We don’t work with just anyone at Thomas Chiropractic. Our doctors are people that share our values and ethics, people that we work with and trust. It’s not about hiring a Chiropractor, but building a family.
To X-ray or not to X-ray?
It is the trend these days for chiropractors not to have x-ray machines in their office . Some docs would never dream of adjusting a patient without x-rays and "proof". For them the cost of x-rays and the radiation exposure is completely justified by their style of...
It’s a Wonderful Life From This Chiropractor’s Perspective
I love the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I am especially moved by and relate to the main character, George Bailey. George consistently puts the needs of others before his own wants. He is flawed for sure, but when it comes down to it, he does the right thing for...
Holiday Stress and Chiropractic
I probably should not admit it but, "National Lampoon's, Christmas Vacation" is one of my favorite Christmas shows. There are few actors who pull off a complete melt-down like Chevy Chase. I think we can all relate at some level with Clark W. Griswold as it concerns...
Low Back Pain and Tight Hamstrings
If you are around my age, you might remember having to pass the Presidential Fitness Test in P.E. Part of that test was flexibility demonstrated by sitting on the ground with the legs extended and the knees straight. Then, you would reach forward as far as you could....

Most of us have experienced it. There you are sitting in what seems like a comfortable position, watching tv. All of sudden you notice that you have no feeling in your hand! It has fallen asleep. You move from the all-of-a-sudden awkward position trying to pause the...

A Brief History of Chiropractic (It is not all about pain).
As the story goes, in September of 1895 a man by the name of Daniel David Palmer, also known as D.D., met a custodian named Harvey Lillard. Lillard developed significant hearing loss many years earlier when he was hunched over working and experienced a loud pop in his...
Science and Chiropractic
Have you ever read or heard something that on the surface made sense for a second but when you thought about it, it was completely banal? I had that experience this morning. One of my patients shared an article with me from Fox News about chiropractic. The article...
Massage and Chiropractic
Massage and Chiropractic care go together like peas and carrots. By the way, who eats peas and carrots together anymore? Anyway, suffice it to say that they are very complimentary. Chiropractic is great at improving joint movement and coordination but can often be...
Momentum of Healing
It is always interesting when a new patient who has never seen a chiropractor before, and knows very little about it, asks what it will take to get better. When I explain that we are going to start off adjusting them three times a week, their eyes usually get very...
