Welcome
By this time of the year most of us are beginning to work more outdoors and engage in outdoor physical activities regularly. People just feel better when the weather warms up and the sun is shining. Physical conditioning and proper nutrition are important factors in making sure you have fun and reap the benefits of being outdoors. In addition, chiropractic adjustments will help keep you ‘tuned-up’ so that you can maximize your efforts. Whether you want to reduce some pain, get into shape or boost your performance, we are here to help!

New study finds CranioSacral technique helps with dementia
A mixed methodology was used to explore the effects of craniosacral still point technique (CSPT) in 9 older adults with dementia. Participants were monitored at baseline (3 weeks), intervention (6 weeks), and postintervention (3 weeks) using the modified Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (M-CMAI). CSPT was implemented daily for 6 weeks by a certified craniosacral therapist. Findings indicated a statistically significant reduction in M-CMAI total and subscale scores during the intervention period.This reduction continued during postintervention for subscale scores of physical nonaggression and verbal agitation. Staff and family interviews provided convergent validity to the quantitative findings. Participants were also more cooperative during caregiving activities and displayed meaningful interactions.
