Need a great massage therapist? My friend Vincent Reed is your guy!!! Massage helps your body release bad energy, toxic stress, and helps you heal.

I tell my patients often to utilize massage therapy in their self care repertoire. It’s a perfect accompaniment to chiropractic care.

Does your head need to be screwed on straight??? 💀 It’s a real thing!!! 🤣😂😅

It’s not quite a “righty tighty, lefy loosey type of thing tho…

This is the C1 vertebra from above. Atlas. See those bean shaped parts on either side of the big hole?? That’s where your skull attaches to your neck.

Your skull is in fact a rather large, oddly shaped vertebra, for all intents and purposes. I adjust them all the time.

The hole in the middle is where the brain stem/spinal cord comes out.

Joint misalignment (aka Subluxation) here can be a problem. A real pain in the neck, or worse!

If anyone has ever told you to “get your head screwed on straight” this is specifically the part they were refering to. You might need that. I got you!

Happy Veterans Day!!!!! Thank you God for all our service members past and present, and for their dedication to honor and protect all of us.

It was that same spirit that led me to join ROTC in college, along with the desire to be part of something greater than myself.

I would soon discover though, that I had been playing hard on old injures too long, and I was no longer fit for military service, by the age of 18. Too many sports and stunts, and no chiropractic care.

If my parents knew about chiropractic for kids this never would have happened. But that wasnt my story.

I spent my 20th year of life recovering from major reconstructive shoulder surgery, and my 21st year discovering the meaning of suffering as I got to experience chronic, searing spinal/nerve/disc pain for a season. Chiropractors gave me a second chance at an active lifestyle. I took that chance and I’m still living it out 20+ years later.

My new purpose in life became to mend the broken with chiropractic adjustments and healing hands. Now I get to live out a miracle, and see new ones unfold every day. A good trade off I think instead of blowing up bad guys.

Hopper is recovering from recent cranial surgery, where the blessed hands of Springfield’s finest surgeons removed an abscess from deep inside his tiny little brain (that one is for Hopper 😉🤣 )

I am performing old school chiropractic adjustments to assist the healing process, and maximize his recovery.

Adjustments boost immunity, vitality, and recovery time. All those things come in handy when you need your body to perform. There are people counting on you to be your best. That’s where a great chiropractor can help you shine!
