It feels like spring is here!!! With spring, come different hobbies, yard clean up, gardening, lots of time spent with grandkids and vacations – traveling long time in a car, sleeping on a different bed, etc.
One common concern among adults is getting injured or feeling really sore after a workout, favorite hobby/activity or maybe just by taking care of your grandkids.
The human body is under a tremendous amount of stress from just the average daily activities. Some of us have jobs that require us to sit at a computer for most of the day. Some of us perform repetitive actions in our day. Hobbies that we love doing like gardening, golfing and spring clean up may leave you sore and achy after. This list could go on and on, but you get my point!
Specific Neuro-Structural Chiropractic adjustments for all ages are of tremendous benefit for the treatment and prevention of injuries and to maximize you body’s health potential allowing you to live your healthiest life!
On your regular visits into the office we focus on correcting your foundation, making it strong and healthy to deal with the stress of life on the body.
When the spinal column is brought back into normal alignment, the body’s biomechanics are maximized = better mobility = better workouts and ability to get to your best potential = less injuries = pain after an activity that you do daily = better functioning nervous system = better functioning body = living a truly healthy lifestyle!
Patient Testimonials/WINS for March!
#1
1 month old baby is less fussy, not crying in pain to go poop, and able to suck more efficiently after our adjustments and cranial work. Mom is very happy!
#2
One of my regular patients had a low back flared up that is now doing way better! And can go for walks again for longer distances without being in a ton of pain after.
#3
Another regular patient sneezed and wasn’t able to turn her neck and was also feeling nauseous after. We got her back to normal after 3 adjustments!
#4
We had 2 kids come in this week after mom noticed them pulling at their ears. (possibly the start of an ear infection/irritation.) They only needed 1 adjustment each to get back to their normal self and no progression to a full ear infection!
#5
2 patients were having foot pain making it uncomfortable to walk. Adjustments to their feet have given them huge relief!

Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Ajax is a muffin lover so we are always trying to make healthier and new kinds of muffins! I have never let him have more than 2-3 at a time but I think he could eat the whole pan if I let him!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe large bananas mashed
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup whole milk Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F degrees. Line a 12-count muffin pan with muffin liners or spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the mashed bananas, maple syrup, yogurt, egg, milk, peanut butter and vanilla together until smooth..
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over mix the batter or you will have tough muffins.
- Evenly distribute the batter between the muffin cups. (I use an ice cream scoop for easy portioning). Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F degrees. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake for another 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
