You might think a chiropractor would know better than to spend too long at a computer and end up with astiff neck. You’d think. I’ve been experiencing a few of the familiar problems people bring into my practice. In particular, whatI’ve taken to calling “mouse neck”....

I know I say it every year, but I'm SO GLAD that winter has officially ended and we are finally in spring!It seems a good time to talk about something we might all like to put down for a while: some of the stresswe've been carrying. Most people come to see a...
