Bruce's Fall Update

    Along with Brad, I'm proud of our new website and believe this is going to help us engage with our patients and the community better than ever.  As I look around these days (even in our own reception room!) I see almost everybody looking at a screen. Smartphones, tablets...these are the devices people use to learn about things and keep in touch, and we're excited about expanding our ability to connect in this increasingly digital world.
    Two things I've been passionate about for a long time: healthy food and yoga. Your diet, lifestyle and personal fitness habits are a huge influence on your general health. When you come in to see me, I always try to get "the big picture" about you, so that I can better understand what's going to be the best treatment for you.  I recommend yoga to anyone who's fit enough to practice it (and that's just about anyone) because it's a great low-impact way to maintain your flexibility and get some significant stress relief, two things we can all use. If you're interested, ask me about classes when you're in for your next appointment or use the contact form on our website to get in touch and I'll give you some pointers. Yoga is also good for rehabilitation from many injuries, but the important thing is to be sure you get good instruction and guidance and then don't overdo it. There can be too much of a good thing. By the way, I'm honored to have been named "Yogi of the Month" for October at Santa Barbara's Bikram Yoga Center. If you want to try a little yoga, or take some advanced classes, Bikram will be happy to help you out. Tell them Bruce sent you!  
    Now, how about some healthy eating ideas?  Fall days are officially here and we'll have cooler weather soon. Here's a link to the recipe for one of my favorite vegan comfort food dishes,  Pumpkin Corn Chowder. It's easy to make and you can freeze the leftovers to have some other time. Feel free to experiment and customize it with other ingredients and let me know if you find something that's tasty.
    A final thought for this issue: with your kids going back to school and  possibly getting into team sports again, take a few minutes to make sure everybody understands the importance of wearing the appropriate safety gear for the sport as well as training properly before jumping back in. Many sports injuries happen as kids begin a new sport or resume doing something they were well-conditioned for last spring, but might not be tuned up for here at the end of summer vacation.  As with everything about your health and well being, if you have questions or need information, let me hear from you. I enjoy knowing that I'm doing more than just giving you an adjustment when you come in to the clinic. Wellness is something we all need to focus on every day.

Have a great autumn and enjoy our beautiful Central Coast weather!

Welcome to our new website! Finally, right? For a long time we've been hearing from our patients and friends, telling us that we need a new website, or just a website, period! Well, we've been hearing you and we've been working on it. It's taken awhile, but we wanted to do it first-rate, and we were really particular about getting just the right look and content. We hope you'll like it, and we look forward to hearing your comments and reaction. We're also now on Facebook (please like our page for updates) as well as Twitter and LinkedIn. We want to use these web tools and social media to keep in touch with our wide circle of friends, and hopefully make some new ones along the way. If you're one of my regular patients, you already know that you can expect the very best care here at our clinic, and I can usually get you to smile while you're here as well. Where do you think I get all my awesome jokes? From all of you, of course, so keep 'em coming! 
    One of the things I really enjoy about being a Doctor of Chiropractic is the tremendous opportunity I have to meet people, interact, and especially to get the satisfaction of knowing that I'm helping people to feel better and become more healthy. Anything we can do to achieve that goal, we want to do, and we hope our new website will help us reach out and connect with people who might benefit from our care. While you're here on the site, take a look at our video. It's pretty cool!
    A little more about what I've been up to: It's been a pretty good summer for surf here on the Central Coast, and I've been lucky to catch quite a few good days. For a guy who's done it all his life, taking off on a wave is just second nature. I try very hard to stay in good shape (you know how I'm always telling you guys to keep going to the gym, or just take brisk walks three times a week) but as we get older, you can feel changes in your muscles and joints. Even if you're young, it's still really important to warm up and stretch before you exercise. You don't have to overdo it, but definitely do it. I see a lot of patients who say right off, "Brad, I think I pulled something". If you warm up properly before whatever physical activity you do, the chances of getting injured go down. Now, for you rugby players, it probably won't matter anyway. Just kidding! If you want to read more about safe stretching and to get specific pointers, have a look at this article from the Mayo Clinic,  here. 
    Okay, that's about the latest from me, but check back in here regularly. Now that I've got this internet soapbox to get up on, I'm going to be using it! Come by and see us soon, we'll be looking for you.
