One of the most frustrating aspects of being a chiropractor is so many people don't realize how much it can change their lives for the better!!!
A prime example of this is chiropractic and headaches. There are literally millions of people that suffer with headaches for most of their lives and normal medical approach does nothing to eradicate the cause of the headaches.
Most people will take some form of medication to help lessen a headache but not to assist in getting to the cause!!!
Our first vertebrae is located just below the base of the skull. The combination of using our arms a million times a day/turing our heads in all directions a millions times a day/and the neck muscles coustonatly supporting our skull creates this massive combination of neuromuscular skeletal dysfunction that is by far the most COMMON CAUSE FOR OUR HEADACHE PROBLEMS.
I implore you all if you have headache problems or if you know a friend/family/worker that does, you must tell them to call the office so we can have a chance to change their lives. Getting adjusted, learning about posture, and watching ergonomics will all change the function of our body and help immeasurably with our headaches. (The headaches you may get from your husband/wife/kids- Sorry, I can't help you with that!)
Have a great Easter and Passover...
Yours in good health,

PS- Don't forget, your kids have little spines also. Make sure they bend their knees properly to pick up all of those Easter Eggs!
I finally had a chance to look at my property around my house post the ridiculous ice storm of 2014. It is incredible how much debris is strewn about. Now comes the cleanup (which I am not looking forward too).
So, I just want to communicate to everyone how important it is to be careful when you are dealing with your property and all the work that goes into it. Please lift properly with your legs, if you do use a chainsaw to cut down falling trees be extra careful (I am scared to use a chainsaw), and please evaluate properly: if you can drag some things fine, but if it is too heavy please seek help.
Everybody has more then usual cleanup to do, I just want you all to be careful. If you have questions about anything, don't hesitate to give the office a call. I am here for you all the time.
Yours in good health,

It goes without saying how incredibly amazing, and super-fantastic chiropractic is for our spinal problems. That's because the major majority of neck/back/pelvic issues are caused by every day life (activities of daily living). So, manipulative therapy (chiropractic) is great for those problems!
Our hands and feet are made up of (like the spine) many bones which create many joints. In everyday life these hands and feet get abused and many of the aches and pains we get in our hands and feet are caused by mechanical dysfunction.
Therefore I say to those of you who have chronic or acute pain- run to the chiropractor. Give us a call or email. Using gentle extremity techniques, chiropractic really does an incredible job on hand and foot problems. I have seen over the years so many people benefit from the hands on approach to hand and foot pain.
As usual, we are here to help. Enjoy the last few weeks of winter- THANK GOD!!!
Yours in good health,
Dr. Ray and Staff
These past few months with all the scraping, shoveling, crazy driving, and walking on snow takes its toll on our bodies by increasing stress which produces chemicals that can be irritant to our joints and tissues. So, another reason (there are so many) to get adjusted is to help our joints function from the effects of stress on our body. Getting adjusted helps to flush out chemicals that are created by stress that irritate our body.
So please give the office a call, get in, and lets take care of these effects of this crazy, ridiculous winter we have experienced.
It goes without saying, but please be careful walking on snow, shoveling, and lifting snow. Keep your heads up: SPRING IS COMING SOON!
Yours in good health,
Dr. Ray and Staff
This winter of 2014 continues to be a pain in the A--! Just received power in my house-I hope you all get back your power as soon as possible. Walking around can be so dangerous! I implore all of you to watch your step, walk carefully, even get out of your cars slowly. (One of our patients stepped out of his car, slipped, and tore his ACL from twisting the knee so badly) Be Careful!
Every step needs to be done with caution. Of course, if you twist or strain anything please give us a call so we can check it out. If it is an injury that I think needs an orthopedic opinion, I will give you names of great doctors in the area.
Safety is so important. Please drive carefully and slowly (I keep on telling my son to keep good distance between cars).
It really is very dangerous and I want everyone to stay healthy.
We will talk to you soon!
Yours in good health,
Dr. Ray and Staff
After being blessed to be able to practice chiropractic for the last 28 years, I've seen it all!!!
Fortunately, 99.9999% of pain and spinal problems is not caused by pathology or something out of the ordinary. Fortunately, it almost all the time is caused by "activities of daily living"- meaning bending, lifting, coughing, fooling around, picking up the kids, baking , vacuuming, etc, etc. Because of the fact, chiropractic continues to be an amazing help for human beings. These activities of daily living may not manifest its symptoms all the time- there can be underlying irritations that are under the surface. Because of this; chiropractic wellness care/maintenance care/preventative care is as beneficial as chiropractic acute care.
Therefore I implore you all to not just wait until you are in the grips of death pain, for there are so many more benefits of chiropractic then just that.
Start the year off right and get your spine checked: trust me, you'll be glad that you did.
Yours in good health,
Dr. Ray and Staff
It seems unbelievable to me that 2014 signifies my 24th year serving Chester County with terrific and lovable chiropractic. It has really been a blessing taking care of everyone and I feel honored to continue to do so.
Please make sure your New Years is safe and don't do any silly things.
As the year begins lets just go through a handful of health tips to make sure we all start off on the right foot:
1- Get adjusted, get your chiropractic care; weather its for acute, chronic, or "keep up the wellness" care
2- If you have never been to a dermatologist it is time to go to check the largest organ of the human body: The Skin
3- Ladies: if it is mammogram time please take care of it
4- I have met too many patients who have never had a colonoscopy; if that is you, I will give you a phone number of a good, trusted Doctor. If it has been long enough for a second one to be done, take care of that
5- Men: get that prostate checked; including blood work for the PSA
Health is not merely the absence of symptoms, it is a combination of many things including function/exercise/healthy blood work/good mental outlook/proper nutrition/ and lots of love making!
God bless us all...
Happy New Year!
Yours in good health,
Dr. Ray and Staff
