Left to Right:  Dr. Anthony Ratkovic, Lisa C., London P. Great event to promote Chiropractic Wellness.  I was impressed how many people, know and see a Chiropractor! The staff, London and Lisa, did a great job answering questions about Chiropractic and Spreading the Word. Also, Reverend Herman for his technical skills putting together and intro video for the office.  It will be on the web soon! It makes no business sense to do these events, but getting the Chiropractic "love" to the community is worth more than Gold. Yours in Health, Dr. Anthony Ratkovic, D.C.

This article was written by Herman Dunn, on our behalf to avoid bias. You toss and turn all night, your back aches and your neck is in a knot.  Snap, crackle and pop a pill. Regardless of the cause of the pain our first inclination is to take a pain reliever, either over-the-counter or by prescription.  Most of us probably never read the directions and don’t know when to take the pain pill i.e. before a meal, with a meal or after a meal.  The most frightening part is we probably also don’t know the side effects. OK, you have taken this pain reliever before with no ill side effects but, that may have been before we started taking blood pressure meds or a multitude of other prescribed and non prescribed medication. Do you know that pain medications are not your only choices?  A better alternative might be to consult a Doctor of Chiropractic. Pain medications do not fix problems, it masks the pain and the pain is still there when the medications wear off....

Here is post from last year.   With the large number of new patients recently, I have interviewed some of them for office quality control.  And, as I was hoping,  we getting similar answers.  Here is the article (revisited): Why has our office seen 12,000 visits per year for the last 5 years?  The key is building a successful relationship with our patients through  TRUST . I have been mentored by two successful doctors, have read a plethora of books and listened to many audio CDs relating to successful people in all professions. I have found this single trait of trust, to be the precedence. There are several reasons how trust is built before the patient even enters the office. I will share the top four: In selecting a chiropractic office, most patients in our office are referred to us by a friend, family member, or co-worker who already is a patient. Other patients have commented on the professionalism of our website, FaceBook, Veri...

You are in an auto accident. First of all, are you okay?  Do you need to be taken to a hospital because of bleeding, broken bones or unconsciousness for you or someone else in your vehicle? Once the short-term “crisis” is under control, then we can deal with the long-term process of healing the body and returning LIFE back to normal. Here are the most common questions & answers from auto accident patients: 1)  When should I see a Chiropractor? At our office, we would like to see the patient within the first week of having an accident.  This allows us to the see the patient when there are still heightened injuries and symptoms.  Some positive examination tests will only occur at this time giving validity to the severity of trauma. 2) What are common questions asked by the doctors for auto accident patients? Has the patient suffered any head injuries?  Some patients can suffer from Post-Concussion Syndrome: having dizziness, headaches, and/or eye press...

This article was written by Herman Dunn, on our behalf to avoid bias. We have all been indoctrinated into the medical model, and few of us have much understanding of chiropractic procedures.  Each is distinct, and it is important to know the difference if you wish to make intelligent health care choices. Allow me to explain further. First of all, let me make it clear that Chiropractic is not better than Medicine nor vice versa – they are just different.  The practice of medicine saves lives!  We need to know the truth about it, however, in order to use it appropriately. If we view the scale of our state of health as a range from perfect health to extreme sickness, we can distinguish the focus of Chiropractic from the focus of Medicine and clearly see the difference between the two.  Medicine is primarily concerned with the sickness end of the scale, and the Medical Doctors are expert at identifying and treating illness.   Chiropractic Doctors foc...

X-ray Findings X-rays taken to exam scoliosis are specifically taken from the front-to-back or back to front view of the middle and low back. In this position we are able to evaluate the spine for normal versus abnormal curvatures. In this normal x-ray, the spine should be straight and look symmetrical from both sides. In this x-ray diagnosed as scoliosis, there is an “S” shaped curve in the spine. In evaluating an x-ray for scoliosis, the Cobb Method is the standard measurement performed. The result of the Cobb method is a degree of angulation; the higher the angulation, the more severe the scoliosis. A Cobb angle of 0-5 degrees is considered normal. From 5-10 degrees is considered abnormal from four to twenty years old (before the last growth spurts). Over 10 degrees is considered abnormal for all ages. As patients are treated for scoliosis, new x-rays are taken to show improvement. Treatment There are 4 types of treatment available to correct scoliosis (in intensiv...
