Top Ten Blogs of 2018

Having a friend crack your back may provide some temporary relief, but it won’t fix the underlying issue causing pain and can result in injury.
Years ago, we built our wellness blog on the idea that we can connect to our patients and the general public outside the clinic walls by providing stories about our doctors and patients and advice on ways to achieve the “Feel Better. Live Better.” lifestyle we promote. We love sharing stories about patients of all ages who have seen a change in their life since visiting. Even more, we love being able to provide valuable information and insights on how they can continue that feeling each day. Here are our top ten posts from 2018! It looks like our doctors got a lot of great attention this year!
