Do You Know Any Onions?

Good Afternoon Everyone!

       Do we know any onions?....Alright Dr. Jeff, what the heck are you talking about this week?  Well, you might suspect that I'm not talking about the actual onions that grow from the ground and you'd be right!  In fact, if you do know or talk to actual onions then you may need a little more than a good chiropractic adjustment .  

      When I speak of onions I use them to describe the majority of patients that come in for care.  If you peel an onion you'll begin to see that it has layers and that you'll go through a series of layers before getting to the core of the onion.  That's how patients come in.... they have a main complaint that usually changes as they go through care.  They say to me... "Now I hurt here," and I say "GREAT....that means that we are working through the layers (onion layers) of your problem!" 

      So, the point of this week's blog is to remind you that it's normal (and almost always a good thing) when your pain starts to move to different areas of the body.  Also, if you do know any onions... please let them know about us, and that we'd be glad to peel off their layers (onion layers that is :)).  

Yours in Health,

Dr. Jeff
