Does our body need medication? Right off the bat this is an interesting and touchy subject - or is it? Every day new people come into my clinic, ask for my help, and are of 1 of 3 different mindsets: those who have always disliked taking medications and strive to do all things natural; those who don't mind medications but are tired of taking pills for their ills without long-term results; and those who have consistently taken medications, may have prescriptions constantly on the go, and are trying to mix in alternative methods. Who gets the best results? Makes you wonder, [...]

The consequences of Poor Posture

Dr. Joshua Gelber2018-08-07T02:17:22-04:00
