As a chiropractor, I feel a civic duty to serve my community to the best of ability, even amidst this pandemic. I don’t think anyone is exempt from feeling stress from the quarantines and social distancing, but I value the response patients and clients have to my care so much that the joy of working in my profession supersedes the other life stressors.
This is why I not only do the minimum in my field, but strive for unrelenting growth each year.
In California we are required to take 24 hours of continuing education each year, yet I average closer to 100. (My patients testimonials and reviews will show they can tell to!)

Jordan presented to the office originally for treatment of an old sports injury that led to a spiral fracture of his fibula (lower leg/high ankle). This injury led to chronic pain and a significant amount of scar tissue in his ankle, and chronic low back pain. Recently another sports injury led to a strain of musculature in his upper back. A protocol of adjusting and scraping has almost fully resolved his ankle injury (note the minimal inflammatory response seen after treatment compared to his upper back). I love helping patients resolve sports injuries, especially those that are years old. Nothing is as rewarding as a patient telling me “I thought this was going to be new normal, I had no idea this could be fixed!”

Work from home pain? Neck and upper pain from working on a laptop? Low back pain from sitting in a subpar chair for long hours? Along with adjustments, some heat and muscle release can go a long way to shorten your healing time. The hydrocollator heat pack and Hyperice percussion feel really relaxing together.

Covid aside, I have always wanted a proper home gym setup, as the busier you are in life the harder it is to make time to work out. Making healthy life choices easier to attain is a huge step toward long term health. Though I now have more equipment than most, piecing things together over time will suddenly offer you everything you need to fit fitness into life.
Huge thanks to @roguefitness @schwinnindoorcycling @terracorefitness @ultimatesandbag @stickmobility @betitanfit @gaiam @nutrishop_elsegundo for all the supplies seen here!

For reference, the space is 10x6ft.

Things to remember as Covid policies in California loosened and then rebounded back to being strict: (1) We as a community are in this together (2) No those that support mask wearing and distancing etc don’t like the policies, we abide by them because of their proven effectiveness (3) We are all frustrated by this situation, there is no benefit to arguing with each other over the situation we can’t control (4) Try to make or find time to do activities and hobbies you enjoy, or make an effort to find other new tasks to do that you have been procrastinating on doing

I am so proud to announce that I have received my certification as a Sports Physician from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians.
This year I have stepped away from my practice slightly to get grounded after the loss of my parents and my beloved dog, amidst all the other drama of Covid and 2020 had to offer, but it’s these little goals like this that have kept me focused and driving forward still.
Next stop, the Olympic Training center for my rotation to work on and with Olympic Athletes!
