Sublata causa tollitur effectus is simple, succinct and, in my opinion, brilliant. It nicely sums up the chiropractic philosophy in a tight package. But the degree to which it fulfills this ability depends on how you interpret chiropractic.
On a flight home, chiropractor Kevin Donka settled into his seat. Behind him was a mother with her baby.
If you are waiting for pain to dictate how often you should see your chiropractor — or whether or not to see one in the first place — you’re waiting too long.
I recently posed the following question to my patients: Suppose, for a moment, that you had to catch a cold. How would you go about doing it?
“If you cut a piece of steak, put iodine and a bandage on it and even give it a shot of penicillin, will the piece of steak heal itself?”
Every day in the practice of medicine, doctors prescribe their patients “off-label” medications.
“My husband and I are having difficulty conceiving … can chiropractic help?”
“Most people die at 60, but are buried at 90.” I ran across this quote from late fitness expert Jack LaLanne …
My patients were stunned. Surely this was a heretical chiropractic proclamation.
The safety pin. It’s been around for more than 150 years and has seemingly endless uses, not the least of which is the reason we chiropractors like to use them.
“Deliver your message to Garcia” is hardly what you’d expect to read on a bathroom wall…
A chiropractic college in Seattle? Bizarre. That’s what I first thought when I heard about it.
Twinkies are now back on supermarket shelves, and their new owner (who also owns Pabst Blue Ribbon beer) is banking that you’ll come flocking back to stock up on the iconic snack food.
“Fear lives in our beliefs.” That’s what Dr. David Jackson communicated to an assembly of chiropractors — of which I was one — in Seattle several months back.
His movie is entitled “Doctored.” And the “them” he was referring to is Political Medicine. “It’s time for chiropractors to stand up and make their own voices heard,” he said in response to a question regarding why the successes of chiropractic have been suppressed and not gotten out to the public.

I have many a tale to tell from behind our Spinal Column Radio microphones. In the past, I’ve told of groupies braving the rain to take in a show, and how we podcasted atop the nearly forgotten grave of Harvey Lillard — the once deaf janitor who holds a place in chiropractic history as its first patient.

Imagine a bank robber wearing the stereotypical burglar garb. The safe stands open with bags of money piled high as he, in runner’s pose, is making a getaway. In his hand is clutched, not a sack of cash, but a bunch of pens.
I’m always on the lookout to break from the confines of my studio to record another episode of Spinal Column Radio.
Why is there an old ambulance parked up at the local supermarket? Where do we get all of the beautiful flower baskets that adorn our town’s lampposts, and who waters them?
The other day I had the chance to be interviewed on an Internet radio show designed to introduce youth to the various professions that have been ranked by the Jobs Rated Almanac as the top 100 careers for the next decade.
