Monthly thoughts and personal insights seen from your chiropractor’s perspective.
My dearest childhood friend Paul’s mother Naomi passed away Thursday night. She was a kind, sweet and steady sort of person. Paul wrote her eulogy which told here life story. As a child in London during the Second World War she was sent out of the city to be safe from the bombings and lived [...]
We celebrated my son Heath’s 2nd birthday last Tuesday. On Wednesday my wife Sharon and my son Heath went to Florida to visit her parents. My seventeen year old daughter Ariana and I have been alone together in a very quiet house since then. At first it was quite liberating, all this time to ourselves, [...]
It’s Sunday morning and I just woke up in my childhood home in Brooklyn. I was just dreaming about my father who passed about seventeen years ago. I’m staying at my mothers’ this weekend because I’m attending a “Torque Release” chiropractic training down here in the city. My Dad is the reason I became a [...]
Tuesday night we’ll be with my family in Brooklyn celebrating Passover. Passover commemorates the exodus from Egypt of the Jews who were slaves there. It’s a holiday that celebrates freedom. Not only the physical freedom that the Jews experienced when leaving Egypt but our own personal freedom as well. We all have our personal “Egypt’s”, [...]

Here we are with another year behind us and a fresh new one before us. An empty canvas filled with so many possibilities. Often at the beginning of a new year we consider the changes we’d like to see in our lives, or the changes we’d like to see in ourselves. We want to be [...]
How do I keep my life in perspective, when at times it can be so exhausting and overwhelming? How can I live a life with richness and depth and not just “get by." When I stop and take the time for a breath; and take account of my life, the answers come from somewhere inside. [...]
It’s wonderful and a bit scary watching your kids achieve greater independence. Heath our 2 year old explores his physical possibilities by running, jumping, falling, and often crashing to the floor with a pretty intense bang. I just read a study that reported that a child falls about 2000 times in their first 3 years! [...]
