4 Reasons Your Neck Pain & Headaches Aren’t Getting Better
If you’ve already been trying everything you can think of to alleviate your neck pain and headaches, you might find yourself thinking something like “What am I doing wrong?”
Or maybe a better question is “What I am missing?” More than likely, you’re just one small change away from finally starting to ease the tension in your neck and shoulders and reducing your headaches.
The trick is just to figure out this one small change and stick to it over a period of time.
In the video below, I’ll explain the 4 most commonly overlooked reasons why people aren’t able to get on top of their neck pain and headaches, despite their best efforts with things like improving their posture and performing stretches and exercises.
“Did you guys do this, or did I?” Susie Strikes Again!
Do you remember “Susie” from about 5 weeks ago?

Parkinson’s Disease – Introduction to “TRAP”
Today, we’re going to talk about Parkinson’s Disease (PD), as well as the common characteristics we see in patients with PD.

• T = Tremors
• R = Rigidity
• A = Akinesia

Nobody Cares About Back Pain (and Sciatica)
Last weekend, I hosted a “Back Pain & Sciatica” workshop at the clinic.
During the course of the workshop, we covered a lot of information, including the following:
Basic anatomy of the spine
Common causes of back pain and sciatica
The top 3 causes and what they each look like
Successful treatment
When we started talking about how to eliminate lower back pain and sciatica, I introduced the “3 Phases of Recovery”, which include:
Reduce Pain & Inflammation
Improve Strength and Flexibility
Return to Activity (plus prevent future injury)
As we went through these phases of recovery, and important point occurred to me: Nobody actually cares about back pain!
You might think this sounds strange, but let me tell you, the 10 people in the audience all nodded their heads in agreement.
