I don’t generally go around endorsing products, but I feel motivated to share this with my readers.
For the past couple of years I have been wearing my favorite tie chain, a gift from my daughter, Arianna. Then on a recent trip to Washington, DC it vanished. I try not to be materialistic, but I wear a tie every day and I really liked that tie chain. It was a particularly functional accessory because as a chiropractor I am often bending forward to lift a patient’s head and neck while checking them to see if they need an adjustment. I never wear a clinic jacket because they’re too medical looking and simply don’t belong in a chiropractor’s office; but a dress shirt and tie give a clean, professional look and do just fine. That tie chain used to comfortably keep the tie from falling on and dragging over the patient’s face. Now I admit that it was a small thing, but I really liked that tie chain because of it’s elegant simplicity and one feature in particular. It has a unique “sure snap” clasp that doesn’t fall off the shirt button the way others do. Since I wear a tie in the office every day, I really appreciated that little accessory.
For all these reasons I was just delighted when my daughter sent me two new (one gold and one silver) Aniksdal “Sure-Snap” tie chains for Father’s Day! So for my colleagues or friends that wear a neck tie, here’s a great source: Aniksdal.com

I’m told that we need some of the people that have experienced our care in practice to rate or review how I did for them. This is supposed to make it easier for people searching the Internet to find me. If you have a minute, please click here, go to the site and enter your comments where it says, “Write a review” near the lower right-hand side of the page.

On Saturday I traveled to Atlanta to participate with many of my professional colleagues in a discussion about the quality and growth of the chiropractic profession. A key concern on our agenda was the high cost of a chiropractic education and the relevance of the curriculum in chiropractic institutions. Our goal is to be certain that a vertebral subluxation correction service is available to future generations. I invite all persons interested in securing the highest quality chiropractic service for our children and grandchildren to please visit the Coalition for the Advancement of Chiropractic at VSfree.org and click “sign this document” at the bottom of the page.
A special unexpected treat came at lunch time when we had a chance to visit with former presidential candidate, civil rights activist and radio show host, the Reverend Al Sharpton.

It wouldn’t be unusual for the Chicago Tribune to report that Derrick Rose posted 23 points, six assists, five rebounds and four turnovers in close to 35 minutes against any NBA opponent. But this particular report followed a game where the Bulls hosted Atlanta in Rose’s return after missing 5 consecutive games after being sidelined. In an interview the Chicago Bulls all-star point guard told ESPN’s Doris Burke, “the whole week I was seeing a great chiropractor.” Click here to see the Chicago Tribune story

James Tomasi credits a precise chiropractic adjustment in his upper neck with literally saving his life. He even wrote a book, What Time Tuesday? telling the personal details of his own story and how an eleventh hour life-saving adjustment meant the difference between life and death for him. Now James and his wife, Rhonda, have launched a new web site to explain how this is possible and to advocate for others who may similarly benefit.
