As a Ventura chiropractor I have to say that there isn’t much difference between the skeletal structure of men and women, with the exception that the female pelvis is wider to allow for childbirth, and the forehead bones of the male protrude more and the overall frame is frequently larger.  And, to be honest, though [...]

As your Ventura chiropractor I feel that it is my obligation to pass along the results of a recent study regarding failed back surgeries: Did you know that complicated spine surgeries that involve fusing two or more vertebrae are actually on the rise? You may find it surprising, or even shocking, to discover that experts [...]

As I’ve written time and time again in my blogs, as a Ventura chiropractor I can’t say enough about the health benefits of exercise. And, I have to admit that I’d thought I’d run out of new exercise incentives to pass along to you. But, here’s one that you may not be aware of…exercise can [...]

After blogging for most of the year about the benefits of exercise and the national need for obesity prevention, as your Ventura Chiropractor I am pleased and gratified to inform you that this month obesity prevention is being “officially emphasized” by that National Chiropractic Association.

But, I have to tell you that, as a chiropractor in Ventura, over the years I’ve adjusted the spines of people who exercise regularly and people who don’t. The differences in the strength, function, and overall health, not only of their musculoskeletal systems, but in [...]

“Getting old takes courage,” right? If you are already a senior, you probably agree! The older we get, the more health risks, and even death risks, we incur. As a Ventura chiropractor I know from treating hundreds of patients through the years, that the aging process stresses the musculoskeletal system. Joints degenerate often due to [...]
