Keep being vigilant...

 I was out shopping recently in Chester County and the traffic was unbelievable. I was sitting in my car waiting to move and I realized it was nice seeing humans out living their lives-it was a good feeling. 

But then I thought I hope everyone is being smart living their lives...

Of course its terrific to get back to some kind of normalcy but unfortunately we are not quite there yet. 

I urge all of you to obviously continue to wear the masks when needed, wash your hands thoroughly, social distance when you can , limit your gatherings this holiday season as much as you can while not going to overcrowded places if you can help it.

I continue to suggest to patients to get adjusted as we continue to make sure the office is clean, sanitized and under proper protocols needed for Covid times. 

I really hope everyone has a safe and joyous holiday. Keep in mind that we are fairly close to getting through this pandemic so keep being smart, caring about your fellow humans and always remember and never forget that Dr. Ray is here to help.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Thankfulness even during Covid...

 It's always hard to think positive or be thankful when life is dealing you hardship. So as Thanksgiving approaches, it is just a reminder from Dr. Ray that in the depth of Covid, Governmental issues and racial inequality its important to remember blessings. 
Even when we are dealing with all of these difficulties, there is also blessings and thankfulness to be celebrated and enjoyed. 

Dr. Ray and staff want to extend to all of you a healthy and blessed thanksgiving day. It may not be with as much family as we are used to, but we are trying to be smart during this pandemic. 
The office will be open 11/28 for Small Business Saturday! Give us a call or email for an appointment. 

Again-Dr. Ray wants to thank everyone for their loving wishes as he continues to heal from his surgery!!!
Yours in good health,

The Power of Healing...

With my left hip replacement surgery complete the problem I had with degenerative joint disease, lack of cartilage, the top of my femur bone barley functioning and the non existent joint space created cascading pain that my body could not heal.

This kind of degenerative condition essentially caused by the wear and tear of living our lives is a problem that the human body can not heal on its own. Fortunately, modern surgical evolution has enabled me to receive a new hip joint there by eradicating all the symptoms I was suffering with. Now each passing day and the exercising I am doing strengthens the area and is on target to make this surgery a 100% success.

But still, the healing process goes on which is part of our amazing human body make up. 

Again, I want to thank everyone for the loving thoughts and care displayed the last month or so. It is and always will be appreciated. 

Keep on being Covid responsible!!!

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

PS:

A message from Dr. Ray regarding his new hip!!!

 

Oh, By the way-Dr. Ray is a degenerate?

 In reality, Dr. Ray isn't really a degenerate but his body has acquired degenerative issues. It certainly isn't unusual for a human body to degenerate, although this may sound unpleasing it really is the bodies reaction to wear and tear and living life. Joints get over worked and underpaid and start to wither away.

It is what happens on Earth...If we lived on the moon we wouldn't have to deal with it because gravity could take away the pain and strain of the issues we live with sometimes.

But...we do live on Earth so we have to deal with wear and tear, Covid issues and other unfortunate things. So Dr. Rays left hip withered away over time to the point where thankfully hip replacement is a procedure that is done these days to a large degree and in a successful manor.

So starting Saturday, October 10th. Dr. Ray will be getting surgery and healing up while out of the office for some time. We will certainly call everyon
e when he is ready to be back and start adjusting again. If anyone needs to be adjusted during this time, call the office and we will get you in touch with another Chiropractor in the area as he is on call to help/assist during this time. 

Have a sweet Halloween and we will be in touch.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Don't forget about YOU...

We certainly hope all of you are staying healthy and smart during this on going Covid time. It's like life stopped for everybody in early March and thank goodness our lives are getting back to some sort of new normalcy. 

So this is just to remind everyone that if you had tests scheduled for yourselves in March, April, May, June or July of this year to please not forget about them.

1- That mammogram you set up-make sure to reschedule

2-The colonoscopy that you were so looking forward to having,-make sure to get it back on the books

3- The dermatological exam you booked in-make sure to get it back on your calendar

4- If you have not had a good eye check up, OPEN YOUR EYES AND GET IT BACK ON YOUR RADAR

It is so pathetically easy to forget about yourself as you try to take care of everyone else during these historic times. So get the ball rolling and take care of yourself!

Of course, don't forget to call, email or message Resnick Chiropractic to get your body adjusted. We are here to help...

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

My Children...

 Unbelievably so, this October I will be celebrating 30 years of practice in Chester County. It really does blow my mind that 30 years have gone by and  it makes me feel terrific I have been able to deliver Chiropractic care to Chester County all of these years. 

But...some things never change. Very early into my practice I realized that patients don't listen to me. I'll give them loving, constructive advice and there is many times I could tell that they are not listening to me like I was talking to my own children. How many times as a parent will you give advice to your children but you could tell that they are just not listening to you. Patients are the same way.

Last week this woman came into the office who I have known over the years, was complaining about her shoulder pain. I told her to make sure to listen to your body, but she kept on doing the same thing that was aggravating her shoulder joints. 

I just want to say again as I have said a million times these past years that it is important to listen to your body. If you enjoy jogging and after your knee swells up like a watermelon maybe its time to walk and not jog for a while. There are so many examples like that but that continues to be apart of my job to remind patients about how the body works and keep them as healthy as I can. 

Hope all your families are feeling fine. Keep practicing your Covid smart behavior and give the office a call to get adjusted if you need, that is always a good thing to do.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Pandemic Interference

First, I hope all of you are feeling well and taking good care of yourselves while wearing the masks and social distancing. 

Since the Pandemic has interrupted all of our lives in so many ways there are some things that I need to remind everyone to do that perhaps you couldn't have done in the last 4 or 5 months. There is lots of preventative tests that we should all do in a timely fashion that helps prevent illness and health issues-I am sure there are many of you, including me, that forgot to reschedule these tests, etc. For further reference:

1- Dental Cleaning-at least 1 per year but 2 times is better

2- Mammogram-if you missed this so far this year, very important 

3- Dermatology-if needed, this will help and identify things you never saw coming-vital if you have never done so-Call Dr. Ray for a good recommendation here...

4- Please reschedule that Colonoscopy or schedule your first!!!

5- Blood work-this should be done every 2 years for overall health check

6- Make a yearly physical appointment if its been missed since March or you have not had one in some years-vital for overall health and bodily functions.

7- CHIROPRACTIC EXAM!!!-enough said...

It is so easy to forget about these preventative tests but super important to have them done. 

Please call the office to make time for an adjustment and get your health back on track.

Thanks again!

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Happy 4th!!!

Those Darn Masks...

Ill be honest with you, I can not stand wearing the masks. They make me hot, it fogs up my glasses, it makes me feel claustrophobic and it keeps me too warm. But…I understand the reason for them so I abide.

I certainly hope all of you are wearing the darn masks and following all of the guidelines we have been told to do. It is important so please continue to do so.

God willing very soon we wont need to worry about them anymore, but until then be good boys and girls and follow these instructions.

Now that things are opening up more, the office continues to be open while continually cleaned and sanitized and ready to receive all of you who have not been to the office for a while. I am sure many of your spines have been telling you it is time to call Dr. Ray for an adjustment. We are here for you as usual and will continue to be so.

I hope all of your family and friends have been healthy and safe through this pandemic. Always remember and never forget, Resnick Chiropractic is here for you!

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and staff

PS-twice in the last few months I went to drink something with the mask on and made a mess everywhere. Beware!!!

Crazy Times

Indeed, the Coronavirus has certainly changed lives period. Please be safe, wash hands a lot, don't touch your face, wear your masks (oops, wait one second, my mask wearing has fogged up my glasses..again)

We shall overcome this situation that we are in, and will be stronger for it.

Resnick Chiropractic continues to see patients, 1 at a time, with the office being cleansed all the time after patient use and taking all other precautions being made. Please keep these health related issues in mind.

Any who, we hope you and your families/friends are all safe and sound. Call the office if you need anything and be safe.

Yours in good health,
Dr. Ray and Staff

Just checking in...

I hope all are well and safe and following the guidelines during these trying times. We will all get through this and perhaps learn a few positive things from this. There is usually silver lining in stormy clouds...

Dr. Ray is in the office this week, seeing only 1 patient at a time and making sure proper cleaning protocols are in place. Sanitizer will be available and all tables, chairs, door knobs and other will be cleaned after each appointment. 

Please be safe for you and your families. Please call or email with questions and we will get through this. 

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Handling the Stressors

Even if everything is going dandy with your lives there is always some amount of stress that we have to deal with. How we learn to deal with the stress in our lives will help our body stay healthy and avoid sickness for the most part. 

Certainly the recent Coronavirus story has grown and grown and has gotten scarier as time has gone on, but it's important to try our best to not let these stresses make us sick because then we only get weaker and our immune system takes a hit. Every time we allow stress to effect us our immune system gets weaker. 

All I am saying everyone is to please take a deep breath and wash your hands more often then you might have been accustomed to and don't let yourself get sick over this epidemic. 

Here is just a little list of things you can do to decrease stress in your body:

- Positive mental attitude
- Intermittent adjustments helps the immune system work properly
- Get as much sleep as you can
- Stay away from the news each day if that drives you crazy and effects your mental health
- Make sure you take some multi vitamins
- Go online and look up some good breathing techniques which help keep the immune system on a positive path

Always remember and never forget that we are always here for you if you have questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask. If I am not sure of the answer  I will find it out for you and don't forget to continue with your wellness #chiropractic care!

Please take good care of yourselves in these crazy times.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and staff
