The older we get the more the quiet aches and pains we used to ignore seem to get a little louder in their plea to be treated. When that twinge of back pain that used to pop-up after a long day becomes the first thing you notice when your feet hit the floor, it may be time to seek out a doctor’s care.

But who do you turn to?

Chiropractic care represents a large portion of the healthcare sector even though it's a discipline that is largely misunderstood in many circles. By request from a listener of the show, today’s episode is dedicated to the discussion of chiropractic care and where it should fit into your overall healthcare plan.

In today's episode, I interview Dr. Brad Adams, a board certified, chiropractic physician. In the interview, we address:

• What all chiropractor care encompasses
• The various procedures chiropractors perform
• What type of education do chiropractors receive
• The various specialities of chiropractic care, including defining the term “Diplomate”
• How spinal manipulation relates to internal medicine
• Tips for finding a reputable provider
• Reasons some people are reluctant to pursue chiropractic care

I close out this week's show with an expanded discussion of a conversation taking place on the This Unmillennial Life Facebook Group related to dirty hotel rooms. As follow up to the Airbnb episode, listeners have posted various warnings of the risks of germ-filled hotel rooms. The info shared is more than a little shocking, but definitely worth a conversation. (And if you are easily grossed out, this may not be the segment for you!)
