Dear Dr. Aaron,

We have a costume party coming up, and my husband insists his idea is hilarious. He wants to wear a hat with a duck bill and a stethoscope — he says everyone will recognize him as a “quackropractor.”

Is this offensive, or just harmless fun? 🦆💀

Not a comedian, in Osage Beach

Dear Osage Comedian,

That one gave me a good laugh! No offense taken — as long as the joke’s lighthearted, it’s all in good fun. The word “quack” only stings when it’s used seriously, not when it’s wrapped in rubber ducks and dad humor.

If you want to make it extra clear it’s a pun, lean into the silly side — bright colors, cartoon ducks, or maybe even a squeaky duck prop. Humor’s healthy… and apparently, so is a good spinal adjustment afterward from all that laughing. 😉

Dear Dr. Aaron,

I noticed you’re offering Red Light Therapy! My husband and I were talking about all the benefits—except he’s a die-hard DIY guy who swears he can get the same results by putting a red plastic notebook cover over his shop light.

Well… after melting the cover (and a few other things in the garage), he’s now sporting a nice burn in addition to his original bad knees. 😅

Please, settle this once and for all—can you explain why Red Light Therapy from your office is not the same as his “garage science experiment”

Melted in Osage Beach

Oh no! 🔥 Please tell your husband to retire from the Red Light DIY Department!

While I admire the creativity, Red Light Therapy is a bit more advanced than a red plastic notebook over a shop lamp. The medical-grade systems we use emit very specific wavelengths — 660 nm (red) and 850 nm (near-infrared) — that safely pe*****te skin and muscle tissue to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.

A regular light or colored plastic filter just can’t deliver those therapeutic wavelengths — and as you’ve found out, they can deliver a nice side of melted plastic and burns

Always here for you,
Dr. Aaron

💡 Discover the Power of Red Light Therapy at Family Chiropractic!

Red Light Therapy is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body’s natural healing at the cellular level. By targeting the mitochondria (the powerhouse of your cells), this gentle therapy promotes essential biochemical reactions that help your body function — and feel — its best.

✨ Benefits include:

🔴 660nm wavelength – absorbed by skin tissue to help tighten skin, smooth wrinkles, reduce scars, stretch marks, and age spots, and even promote faster wound healing.

🔵 850nm wavelength – pe*****tes deeper to support muscle and ligament repair, pain relief, arthritis treatment, and even assist in weight reduction.

Whether you’re looking to recover, rejuvenate, or simply feel better from the inside out — Red Light Therapy can help your body recharge naturally. 🌿

Dear Dr. Aaron,

My husband has been complaining (well, let’s be honest—whining) that one leg feels longer than the other. He keeps saying, “My left leg is too long!”

So, for the past three days, he’s taken matters into his own hands—literally—and has been putting the heel of his boot on the belt sander trying to “even his legs out.”

I told him maybe what he actually needs is an adjustment, not a power tool. Can one leg all of a sudden become longer? He’s a grown man, after all!

Please advise before he runs out of heels—or common sense.

😂

Sincerely,

A concerned (and slightly amused) wife

Dear Amused,

😂 Oh boy… tell your husband to step away from the belt sander!

The good news is, it’s actually very common to feel like one leg is longer than the other — but in most cases, it isn’t because a leg suddenly grew overnight. More often, it’s caused by a pelvic misalignment or tight muscles that make one side of the body sit higher than the other.

A simple chiropractic adjustment can usually even things out quickly (and safely — no power tools required!). So before he starts customizing any more boots, have him come in for a quick check-up. We’ll make sure he’s standing level and walking straight again.

😉 We fix leg-length problems the safe way — no sandpaper needed!

Dear Dr. Aaron,

I was getting ready for fall by washing and waxing my truck when I noticed a puddle of oil under the engine. After 4 hours of crawling around with a flashlight, I finally gave up—only to find out my wife staged the whole thing as a prank.

Now I can’t get out of bed, and she insists I’m just being dramatic. Can you help me?

Parked on cardboard in Kaiser

Dear Cardboard Parker,

Well… it sounds like your wife has a future in special effects! Unfortunately, your spine didn’t get the memo that the “oil leak” was a prank. Spending four hours twisted under a truck with a flashlight is the perfect recipe for sore muscles, stiff joints, and a back that refuses to cooperate the next morning.

You’re not being dramatic — your body is simply letting you know it’s had enough of the DIY mechanic life. The good news is, this isn’t permanent damage. With a proper adjustment, we can get you standing tall again, loosen up those tight muscles, and keep you from crawling around the house like you’re still under that truck.

And as for the prank… I can’t help you there. 😉 But I can help your back recover. Let’s get you in before your wife finds her next “project.”

Always here for you!

Dr. Aaron

P.S. Call Family Chiropractic today — your back will thank you (and maybe your driveway, too).

Dear Dr. Aaron,

Summer is ending faster than I expected and my to-do list is nowhere near complete. In my rush to clean up around the house, I grabbed a piece of tin that blew in from one of our famous windstorms. What I almost grabbed along with it? A SNAKE.

Pretty sure my heart stopped—my body took off running before my feet got the memo, and the next thing I know, I’m rolling on the ground like a fire drill gone wrong. Stop, drop, and roll—but for snakes.

My knee is a mess, I can hardly walk, and my husband saw the entire thing… he’s still laughing. Please advise—can you help?

Signed,
Stop, Drop & Snake-Roll Survivor

Dear Stop, Drop & Snake-Roll Survivor,

First off—your instincts were spot on. When confronted with a snake, stop-drop-and-roll may not be in the official manual, but it sure got you out of there fast!

Now, about that knee and those aches: yes, we can absolutely help. For the knee pain, our Red Light Therapy is perfect—it helps speed healing, reduce inflammation, and get you moving again. And for the full-body soreness (plus the trauma of your husband laughing at you), our Infrared Sauna will melt away those aches, relax your muscles, and help you recover.

📞 Call the office today—we’ll get you back on your feet, with less pain and fewer snake-inspired acrobatics.

Always here for you,
Dr. Aaron

P.S. asking what kind of snake is this post on Lake Area Happenings will bring more than laughter..

Dear Dr. Aaron,

Is it actually possible to displace a rib while cooking ribs?

My husband swears he “threw a rib out” lifting a tray of ribs into the smoker. I say he just had one too many adult beverages while “supervising” the smoke. Now he’s walking around holding his side like he’s auditioning for a barbecue drama.

So, Doc—do ribs really go “out,” or is this just a case of too much sauce and not enough sense?

Signed,
Saucy but Skeptical

Dear Saucy but Skeptical,

Yes, ribs can technically “go out”—but usually not while loading the smoker. More likely, your husband strained a muscle, or maybe he’s suffering from a severe case of barbecue bravado. 🍺🔥

If he truly displaced a rib, he’d be in enough pain to drop the ribs, and let’s be honest—no one who loves smoked meat is letting that happen.

So, bring him in. We’ll check his spine, his ribs, and maybe even his story. Until then, keep the adult beverages to a minimum and the ribs on the smoker, not in the excuse pile.

Stay saucy,
Dr. Aaron

Dear Dr. Aaron,

Well, this is about as embarrassing as it gets. I was shaving my legs in preparation for the big boating events. Things were going fine until I decided to get fancy and make sure I didn’t miss any stray hairs. This required me to twist, bend, and practically stand on my head in the shower.

Somewhere between "contortionist yoga pose" and "Cirque du Soapy," I realized I was… stuck. I couldn’t straighten up, couldn’t finish the job, and was pretty sure my hamstring had signed a resignation letter. The worst part? My phone was just out of reach, so I had to wait for my husband to check on me. He’s still laughing.

Can you please put me back together before the weekend? Also, do you happen to offer leg shaving safety classes? Asking for… me.

— Bent, Busted & Barely Boat-Ready in Osage Beach

"Dear Bent, Busted & Barely Boat-Ready,

First of all, I’m relieved you didn’t take a razor to the rescue call. Second, you’re not the first patient to come in with a ‘boating event injury’ before even getting near the boat.

We’ll get you straightened out and walking upright again—bonus, I’ll throw in a posture refresher so you can spot those stray hairs without auditioning for a circus act.

Call the office today… and maybe let the boating crowd admire your smile this weekend, not your hamstring flexibility."

Always here for you,

Dr. Aaron

Dear Dr. Aaron,

TikTok told me wearing different weight earrings could fix my neck and headaches. I went with two pounds on one side. Ripped my earlobe, neck still hurts, and now I’m walking crooked. Help before people start using me as a human level.

Dear “Leaning Tower of Piercing,”

TikTok strikes again! Two pounds is less “therapy” and more “construction equipment.” Come in and we’ll straighten you out — and maybe recommend earrings that weigh less than a Thanksgiving turkey.

Dear Dr. Aaron,

I find myself in a bit of a bind—literally. While heroically lifting a case of adult beverages (purely for hydration purposes, of course), I managed to tweak my back. The real injury, however, would come from telling my wife the truth. I’d never hear the end of it.

So I’m sticking with the story that my back hurts from carrying around all this handsomeness. Please don’t blow my cover.

Can you help a guy out? Preferably before I have to lift anything else… like my pride.

Sincerely,
Injured but Dignified

Dear Injured but Dignified,

Ah yes, the classic “handsomeness strain”—a condition we see quite often, especially in cases involving weekend warrior lifting and covert beverage logistics. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. HIPAA protects bad decisions too.

Let’s get you in, adjusted, and back to lifting things that matter (like your ego). We’ll even help you walk upright again so your story is more believable.

Call the office—we’ve got an ice pack and a straight face waiting for you.

Stay handsome,
Dr. Aaron
