Just when you thought nobody would ever win Dr. Lou's November Carnival Game, Devin nailed it!
During COVID in 2020, to break up the blahs, Dr. Lou came up with new "carnival games" every week for fun. Our patients play and if they win the game they get a prize.
The current game is throwing a guitar pick into the sound hole of the classical guitar that Devin is holding in the picture. The prize? A jar of Dr. Lou's Fra Diavolo marinara sauce.
The game is around all week this week (Monday to Wednesday) The office is closed on Thanksgiving, so be sure to play at your next appointment!

"I've slept on my stomach my whole life."
We hear it everyday from new patients with neck pain, jaw pain, headaches, migraines.
Well, your whole life started when you were an irresistible little baby. Habits may have begun then. For decades you lie on your stomach with your head turned to the side. For 6-8 hours a night for decades, you put undue stress on the shoulders, neck, head and jaw. You can't do that your whole life and expect to NOT have problems. You would never apply the standards of not expecting trouble with other activities done in a way that would cause pain, like you do with sleeping. Why?
Dr. Lou has helped thousands of people sleep in positions far better than on one's stomach. He has also helped thousands of people recover from injuries and chronic pain caused by sleeping on their stomachs their entire lives.

Dr. Lou helps people lunge deeper, reach further, react quicker, hit harder and move faster.
Just the fact that chiropractic care has been shown to make you stronger and with faster reflexes, should be enough. What separates you from beating your nemesis? A couple points, the force of a backhand?
Chiropractic care, whether you are in pain or not, helps you perform better and with less risk of injury than the person who does not get adjusted regularly.

Dr. Lou helps people use the Loo! ..Or, if you prefer, getting up and down.

There are many reasons why people sometimes have a hard time sitting down and getting up. Some toilets have rails to use for leverage when getting up and down, others don't. Moderate to severe back pain can make it really difficult to get into a seated position, which can lead to some potentially awkward situations. Spinal health maintenance with chiropractic care may help you move better, help you get up and down easier, and will help you function and feel better than you do now. Most of our patients report moving easier and feeling stronger when getting up and down.

That February vacation to the Caribbean to charter the boat and check it off your bucket list is locked in! If you are experiencing tweaks and twinges, aches and pains, but nothing "too bad" in your low back or neck, you may want to insure that trip.
The leading cause of disabling body issues, is back pain. It's statistically more likely to derail your trip than any other health issue.

Dr. Lou helps you do your best to stay in the game so that your trip goes on as planned. Like boat maintenance, spinal maintenance makes for a journey!

Dr. Lou is already thinking about your dream trip to Italy!
No missed vineyard tours due to neck pain.
No missed gondola rides in Venice because of balance issues.
No missed tours of pasta factories because of back pain.
No missed museum trips because of headaches.
No missed visits with friends because of sciatica pain.
No missed anything. Why? Because you prepare your body for the things you love. You prepare your one and only irreplaceable spine for your dreams and goals. On a ten day trip to Italy, you can't reschedule your tours and other plans, they get canceled if you can't get off the floor.
You care for your body like you do your investments, so that they provide you with a return when you want them the most.
Dr. Lou understands that it's not about your back, it's about your life. Without your spine and back you can't live your life, which is what he is here for.

Your ski trip to Europe this winter depends on many factors...
One variable that ruins European ski travel plans every single year, is a debilitating back pain issue.
This is why Dr. Lou is thinking about your ski trips already, even if there's no snow on the ground here.
You can't ski if you can't get off the floor.
Many of our patients take care of their spines all year round so that they can ski in the winter and golf in the summer. Don't miss out on the trip you've been planning for ages. Just practice prevention instead.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Proper planning prevents poor performance.
Avoiding pain is not nearly as painful as shattered dreams.

People are fulfilling their dreams younger than ever before.
For many, these dreams involve using their bodies to go somewhere, or to do something, to experience something that they've always wanted to experience.
If you can't move, you can't likely do it.
If you miss a plane, a train, a ride, an opportunity because of a preventable back or neck issue, shoulder issue, sciatica, disc herniation or anything else, you'll be pretty unhappy.
Don't regret not having chosen preventive health and spinal maintenance. There's no such thing as a spine transplant, so care for the only one you'll ever have to take you to places you want to go!
