The Common Sense Doctor

Typically, I do not plug or advertise specific supplements except for this article. I will give the mothers in my clinic the list of supplements that I have in my household all the time and what my family and I take to prevent and/or treat a cold or flu. Listen to hear more about what my favorite supplements are for the immune system!

These next few podcast episodes will focus more on Essential oils, Supplementation, and Lifestyle to keep not only ourselves but our “little ones” from getting sick and recover from illnesses. Today's episode will be on Essential oils.

I know there are many types of companies out there selling oils. I have found that some of their symptom and oil correlations are not accurate. I would like to start with the basic oils that you should have in your medicine bag and explain why we use them.

This time of year I get a LOT of questions about how to keep yourself and your kids healthy. In the next few episodes of my podcast, I'm going to be discussing the immune system and how to keep your family well this season. 

In today's episode, I want to talk with you about Spine, Muscle, and Nerve. Many times, my patients ask me questions, such as: “Is this a muscle problem?”, “Is it a nerve problem?”, “Is it a spine problem?” And I usually answer, "Yes." See, you must understand, our body works as a unit: one process. Your spine can be pulling on a muscle which may be pinching on a nerve. Let's jump into the episode to learn more!

I have learned over the years that you can exercise, stretch, do yoga, receive chiropractic care and massage, but until you feed your body, you will never heal from your infirmities. Nutrition is an essential part of our healing, repair, and sustainability. This is why patients are dealing with chronic conditions. Let's jump into today's podcast!

Today, I decided to focus on a topic that most people do not know about until I enlighten them. Chiropractors do work on extremities. You may ask, “What is an extremity”? Extremities are joints in the body other than the spine. They are outside the spine. These are your shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, feet, jaw and ribs. When I mention all these areas, my patients are amazed.

This week's podcast is about how Chiropractic care relates to our health and how the spine has a huge part in that! Please listen and let us know if you have any questions!

We have a special guest this week, Dr. Justin Fogo, owner of Chelsea Chiropractic in Chelsea, AL. We're discussing the benefits of doing Chiropractic and Acupuncture together.

I wanted to discuss about the combination of Chiropractic & Acupuncture together. I always say that Acupuncture is the glue to an adjustment. Let's see why!
