Evidence-based chiropractors are trained in a variety of techniques including spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, ultrasound, dry needling, physical therapy, and of course rehabilitative exercises!

You can’t depend on the internet. Even if it’s New York Times!

A couple of weeks ago, New York Times just published an article on the safety of getting your neck adjusted by a chiropractor. Honestly, this has been discussed so many times and the article offered no new information. I highly don't recommend reading it. The studies they cited were from years ago. There were also [...]

Understanding the Cost of Chiropractic Treatments: Discount vs Premium

It doesn't make sense for me to talk about my own fees so I invited a few clients to share their thoughts. As I heard them speak, I came to be more and more thankful and grateful for the clients who have been so supportive of my work. It's not easy to build a chiropractic [...]

Can ChatGPT write you an exercise programme for chronic pain?

A couple of weeks ago, I asked ChatGPT to write an exercise programme for my client. I then compared it against what I have planned for the client for the session. As a chiropractor, I can say the result was actually not bad. Out of the five exercises I asked for, three were usable. However, [...]

Rotator cuff tear? Surgery is not always the best option.

One of the best parts of being an empowerment-based chiropractor is that you are able to see chronic pain sufferers recovery on their own. It's ridiculously powerful because you get to see the shift from "I am so weak" or "I shouldn't have waited for decades before seeking help" to "I can carry groceries by [...]

Why chasing pain relief will get you nowhere for your recovery

The biggest mistake any chronic pain sufferer can make is to try to make their pain go away. Very often, patients will see a chiropractor, osteopath, or TCM practitioner and expect their pain to go away. When their pain does go away upon treatment, they think the treatment works. This is when the problem starts. [...]

I think because yogi often have great range of motion and spinal flexibility, that is the preconceived idea that they have great spinal health. Unfortunately, this is largely not true. Yoga as a recovery intervention I think it's entirely possible for [...]
