I have many UPS pilots and crew members as patients, not just the the employees but their entire families. I want to take a moment and offer my condolences to all my patients associated with UPS. I can't imagine what yesterday's events have brought to your lives. My wife Tamara and I offer prayers of peace during this time of crisis. Let us know if we can be of service. Dr Boutin

The past week of rainy weather produced the misfortune of fender benders to some of my patients. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. However, I am always surprised at how most people don't appreciate how much force goes through our bodies on impact. The weight of the car multiplied by speed is the amount of energy that actually moves through your body on impact.

This means that even a low speed impact can introduce enough force to damage soft tissues. Actually, low speed impacts are known to cause more serious ligament damage than moderate speed accidents. Here's how...at higher speeds the car's bumpers and fenders crumple and absorb the force of impact. At slower speeds, these safety features don't deform and the energy transfer is more rapid.

Rapid energy transfer is known to cause shearing injuries to ligaments which creates tearing. At high speeds, you get a whiplash effect on muscles, at lower speeds you actually suffer ligament tears which are much more serious and generally lead to long term pain and disability.

If you or anyone you know has had a car accident recently, tell them to get checked. These injuries don't always produce pain and disability immediately but in the weeks following the impact, the patient comes to realize that something's not right. Early intervention is key to a positive long term outcome. Dr Boutin

We're entering cold and flu season and many of our patients have been affected. There's never a good time to be sick or injured, and it's certainly not fun to be sick. What most people don't realize is that a chiropractic adjustment stimulates your immune system to respond more quickly and more competently to any contact with a virus or bacteria.

The immune system is directed by the nervous system through the neuro-endocrinological system. Basically your brain, glands and lymphatic system maintain a constant vigilant state against any foreign bodies that might enter your system. If a microbe gets in, your nervous system directs your gland, lymphatic system and white blood cells to rise up and vanquish the enemy quickly and thoroughly.

We are all exposed to numerous microbes everyday and yet most people do not get sick. However, when your nervous system is compromised, the body is less capable of a fast and thorough response, the virus or bacteria multiplies quickly and you get sick.

A chiropractic adjustment removes interference and stress from the nervous system and allows your body to express full immuno-competence. This immuno-competence is why several people can be exposed to a microbe and some get sick, some get a mild version and some of the people suffer no effect.

Eat well, get plenty of sleep and...get adjusted! Dr Boutin

Happy end of the year to everyone! This is the week of December 30, our office will be open Monday, Thursday and Friday this week and we will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday for the holiday.

And since it's New year, a time for resolutions as it were, I would like to share something I learned years ago; that most people over estimate what they can achieve in a year but GREATLY underestimate what they can achieve in 5 years. Don't make goals, make small adjustments to your daily habits. A little less excess, a little more self care, maintenance and mindfulness...amplified through time can completely change your destiny, ESPECIALLY in matters of health. Happy New Year!

Happy holiday season to everyone! I hope this time of year brings joy and health to you and your family.

I am pleased to announce that Boutin Chiropractic is now in network with Medicaid and that we are accepting new patients! This means we accept all major medical insurances that administer medicaid benefits and Passport. If you know someone who is in need of care but finances have interfered with their ability to obtain services, we are here to help.

BTW, we are currently accepting new patients with any forms of coverage, auto accidents and worker's comp. Yours in health Stephen Boutin

Happy Thanksgiving Week to everyone out there!! There is much to be thankful for, especially if you have the most precious of blessings...YOUR HEALTH! Health is an ethereal possession, you completely take it for granted when you feel well, and then realize it's true value when you lose it. I see this dynamic all the time, it's my world, my mission and my passion. Health must be nurtured and taken care of in order to remain. Please realize that our office is open regular business hours Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, but we are closed Thursday in observation of Thanksgiving and closed on Friday so I can rest and nurture MY HEALTH. Blessings to all!!!

Here's something that I think people should know. It's a study as to why people avoid seeking care in our modern medical system. If you scroll down to the bottom of the science paper you'll see easy to read charts on the reasons and demographics of avoiding medical care. Very sadly cost, inconvenience and fear are near the top in every demographic with communication being a major factor for many. I have known this for years and when I opened Boutin Chiropractic in 2009 I designed my office and my approach to care in an attempt to circumvent these factors. I am aware that people will avoid seeking chiropractic if they have a belief that they will be "sold" extensive and expensive care. The truth is most musculoskeletal pain can be successfully handled with a few weeks of care, easily and affordably. I consider myself to be a crisis intervention practitioner, meaning that when a patient comes in for evaluation and treatment my goal is to accurately diagnose the cause of their problem and treat the patient in such a manner as to get them back to full function as quickly as possible. Please don't let fear stop you from taking care of your health, be it chiropractic, medical or dental. After all most conditions can be successfully handled with early intervention. Stay safe and stay healthy out there!!

Many studies have examined barriers to health care utilization, with the majority conducted in the context of specific populations and diseases. Less research has focused on why people avoid seeking medical care, even when they suspect they should go.The ...
