The Body of Health team is pleased to announce that Mandy & Dr. Young welcomed their newest addition to the family, Griffin Banks Young. He was born on Tuesday August 3 at about 9 PM. Both baby and mom are doing fantastic. Griffin was born with a full head of hair and very large hands (Maybe a future chiropractic associate at Body of Health???) And yes it wasn’t more than 10 minutes before he received his very first chiropractic examination and adjustment.

You hear the word adjustment and you think of fixing your clothing or your attitude. But what is a Chiropractic adjustment? This article will explain the Chiropractic adjustment, its goal and the theory of Chiropractic. And yes…. I will tell you what that popping sound is!

The word “medicine” has many meanings. Commonly, we think about little orange or white bottles full of colorful pills when the word is mentioned. This is one definition of medicine. There is a branch of the healing arts that we generically refer to as medicine (hence Medical Doctors). It also means the practice of forming a diagnosis, prognosis and providing a treatment to a patient. In its most basic sense medicine is a treatment or cure. Isn’t “laughter the best medicine?” Don’t love, companionship, optimism, confidence, respect and many others have powerful healing properties? Who would deny that these are medicine?

While everybody else was building a shelter, I would be assembling an adjusting bench from coconuts, palm fronds and branches.
