The Chiropractor’s Wife has been a little “needy” this summer… After a couple of big bumps and bruises I’ve been very grateful for not only The Chiropractor’s skills and expertise in getting me fixed up, but also his patience with me as I sometimes want to do...

We started a new thing in the office last fall and I realized I’d never included it in the blog. It’s a foot treatment and honestly I thought it was a little strange when The Chiropractor first described it to me (not the first time I’ve had that...

“Cooking for the Chiropractor” blog posts will appear periodically throughout this year and highlight recipes we use and enjoy on a regular basis. I’ve had more than one person ask me, after they’ve gotten to know my husband a little bit (or...

The Chiropractor and I attended a county business meeting recently. We were there to learn about some zoning issues that might affect us at our property. Well, we found out that the zoning meeting had happened the night before, and instead we ended up hearing an...

To my knowledge, I was in my mid-30s before I ever ate bok choy. Maybe it had been snuck into some dishes previously with me unawares, but it (like many vegetables) was completely off my radar for most of my young adult life. How did I go from that to eating it...
