They say there’s a cycle of life but maybe there’s a cycle of education. Back at CCOM teaching in the OMM department. Lucky to have these two GOATs as mentors 😁

Doctors offices can have fun too 🤣

Give it up to upcoming pediatrician Jackie Meier. Jackie will be attending the Children’s Hospital of Michigan for her residency. Look out for this rising star. The future of medicine.

Thanks Silver Cross! And thanks to Ruth Colby and Dr. Chris Udovich for such a warm and welcoming experience. You have no idea how much my husband wanted a mug 🤣 He put our old one in the dishwasher one too many times.

Feel the vibes.

Percussive therapeutic guns like the one pictured here in our clinic are often used to open up soft tissue for effective manipulation. Most OMT-practicing D.O.s still like to get their hands dirty, but these are an excellent compliment to our strategy for making you feel whole again.

Finding a good pillow can be a real pain in the neck. I often get asked what pillow is best for chronic neck pain sufferers. Thankfully, there’s a good amount of research underway about just this. You may be surprised at the results.

1. Latex (or rubber) is suggested to be superior in several studies
2. Shape and contour can make a difference but evidence varies on this
3. Supportive is best. Height needs can vary depending on if you are a back, side, or stomach sleeper
4. Switching between pillow type material can make neck pain worse
5. Addressing mechanics can be helpful (ex. physical therapy, osteopathic manipulative therapy-OMT, etc)

Did you know men have thicker skin than women, nearly 25% more? Now before your husbands out there start spouting “I knew it!” we’re talking physically not emotionally. This disparity is due to increased collagen bonds stimulated by testosterone. So when we are looking at effects of aging, men do not start to have wrinkles as early as women, but women stay quite stagnant until menopause. So drop this little pearl of science the next time you get asked why you invest so much in your skin.

Coronavirus? No. This is the common cold-rhinovirus. As we are essentially seeing no Flu this season with the social distancing in place for the COVID-19 pandemic, there is still an unwelcome guest getting people sick. So don’t fear, if you feel like you’ve got a cold, you just might. Check out this article on why there may be an uptick in common cold infections recently. Stay well.


Disclaimer: If you are having upper respiratory symptoms please do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider. COVID-19 infection can closely mimic common cold symptoms.

Happy President’s Day! A day we have historically honored George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as their birthdays were in February. I’d like to quote one of my favorites, Teddy Roosevelt.

Also, please stay safe out on the roads the next couple days as the Winter storm rolls in. Don’t hesitate to make a virtual visit if needed. I get to see all your lovely faces, family, and pets :) How fun it’s been with having telemedicine during this pandemic. See you soon!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
