Cervical Lordosis, The Cervical Curve

Fall has descended upon us. Football season is in full swing. Every time I watch a football game, I marvel at how these athletes can take such a beating and continue to get up, especially when the amount of whiplash is so evident. A couple of weeks ago, one theme seemed to be common across […]

Whole Foods & Health

It’s been a fantastic year at our office! Dr. Ben has been practicing with us since early March. We are helping more people regain and enjoy their health than ever before. This brings me to this newsletter’s topic, health, more specifically, through whole foods. While being subluxation free is as paramount to health as diet […]

Headaches

April showers bring May showers? Although it’s been a wet spring across the northeast, seasonal allergies are still kicking into full gear. As many are now suffering due to seasonal allergies, I find it appropriate to discuss a very broad topic, Headaches! Yes, that’s right, headaches. This is a catch-all term, as this could mean something […]

Dr. Ben’s Story

Although the snowy weather may beg to differ, Spring is here! It’s time to unpack the golf clubs and hit the links. The sun begins to shine longer in the day. Hooray for vitamin D! The birds return from their winter-long hiatus. Spring is the season of rebirth, of life triumphing over the adversity of […]

Antibiotics, Asthma, & Allergies

This brief newsletter is a follow-up to our November edition in which we discussed young children and middle ear infections (otitis media). Chiropractors have been saying for years that the overuse of antibiotics is damaging to a child’s developing immune system. A recent study has found exactly that. The study published in the January edition of […]

Ear Infections

In my last newsletter, I covered how Chiropractic care is as important for children as adults. The feedback I received was excellent. However, there was a prevailing theme, “We want more information.” In the coming months, I would like to take some time to explain how some common childhood ailments are specifically addressed through Chiropractic […]

Children & Chiropractic

The newsletters are back from a lengthy absence, but not without a good reason. As some of you may already know, my wife and I (Dr. Dan) welcomed a little bundle of joy into our lives. On August 17th at 5:20 AM, our daughter, Havi Lia Myerowitz, came into this world. Weighing in at 7 lbs. […]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The year 2010 has brought new and exciting changes to the office. I (Dr. Dan) will be entering my second year in practice. As such, we have expanded to nine treatment rooms (4 chiropractic, 5 acupuncture, and oriental medicine), not including the dedicated therapy room. This expansion will also accommodate a third doctor (Benjamin Myerowitz) […]

Pregnancy & Newborns

This is a long one… With my wife and I expecting our first child, we’ve been thrust into a brave new world of “do you or don’t you?” While we are dead set in our beliefs to have a home birth, we’ve really come across some interesting information on how our culture views the whole […]

Artificial Sweeteners

How (not so) sweet it is… Do you consume artificial sweeteners in an attempt to avoid the calories that come with sugar? If you do, you are not only doing your waistline a disservice, but you are also putting yourself at risk for serious health problems down the road. In this edition of the newsletter, I’d […]
