		<title>Yeah, Maybe It Was The &#8216;Car Surfing&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you heard of &#8216;car surfing&#8217;? It&#8217;s when someone gets out of a moving vehicle and stands on the roof, like they were surfing. Sometimes it&#8217;s even the driver that gets out while the car drives itself. It&#8217;s crazy and severely dangerous but unfortunately getting more popular. I like to call it &#8216;job security&#8217; because [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Two Things That All Patients Want And How I Can&#8217;t Provide Both!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a saying that I&#8217;ve been using for a long time&#8230; Patients are interested in two things:
1. Getting out of PAIN and
2. Getting out of PAYING.
For the past ten years, I think I&#8217;ve done a pretty good job of providing that first thing. And for the most part, I have always tried to limit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another One Bites The Dust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another pain medication is pulled off the market this week by the FDA. You might have heard of Darvocet, which is a narcotic pain reliever. It was removed from store shelves due to serious adverse reactions. Apparently it causes heart arrhythmia&#8217;s that can be fatal. I guess that&#8217;s one way of relieving pain&#8230; 
This is [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Irony In Bone Density Meds Causing Fractures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reminded of the song by Alanis Morissette, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t It Ironic&#8221;.  The proverbial &#8220;recent research study&#8221; was released that showed some pretty surprising negative effects of a group of drugs called bisphosphonates. You&#8217;ve probably heard of these drugs, they&#8217;re for treatment of osteoporosis or low bone density.
So, it turns out that the medication that was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snap, Crackle and Pop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It never ceases to amaze me! Inevitably, after about ten minutes of listening to a patient list all the medications (prescription and over the counter) they are taking for pain, they will lean over to me and say &#8220;Doc, your not gonna adjust my neck right? I&#8217;m scared of that!&#8221;
At this point I take a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sick Care vs. Health Care</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I had the pleasure of meeting a young kid who was in his early twenties. It&#8217;s not unusual for me to see young kids or even children in the office (but I digress). What was unusual was the fact that this young man told me, &#8220;Doc, I&#8217;ve been feeling good but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Password Can Affect Your Health</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was some news this past week about what&#8217;s the best password length and configuration. It got me thinking about how important and painfully complicated passwords have become. Every site requires one and we now have so many sites we log into on a regular basis. Choosing a secure yet memorable password is essential and [...]]]></description>

		<title>5 Things A &#8220;FRUGAL&#8221; Parent Should Know Before Buying A Backpack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As a chiropractor I value the old adage of &#8220;an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of gold&#8221;. Preventing spinal problems is always better than treating pain. We all know that&#8230; But you might not be aware of what &#8220;preventing&#8221; really means.

Many patients come into our office saying, &#8220;Doc, I&#8217;m getting old. That&#8217;s why my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Calcium &amp; Heart Disease, Yeah It&#8217;s Confusing To Me Too!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You might have heard about a recent research article that linked an increased risk of heart attacks with the use of calcium supplements by post-menopausal women. Calcium supplements, which many people consume hoping to ward off osteoporosis, may increase the risk of heart attack by as much as 30 percent, say researchers. The odd part [...]]]></description>
