Living With Anxiety

I realize that it’s been quite some time since one of our monthly articles specifically addressed anxiety.  I talked about it in my book, “Living Through the Storms of Life”, but the last blog article on the subject was way back in May of 2019!  At that...

Saint Illness

Have you ever made it through a stressful period and then finally got to the end, only to "come down with something" and be laid up in bed?  It may be that your back goes out or you succumb to the flu or get a migraine.  It happened to my daughter, Rachel, when she...

The Ultimate Stretching Tip

Tis the season for challenging driving, and I am grateful that I put winter tires on our car.  There are a number of things I do to prepare for each new season, particularly winter.  I make sure salt is on hand for the driveway and fill the...

How do you recharge?

 How do you recharge? I saw this clever post on Facebook.  Unfortunately, there was no author listed, so I don't know who to give credit to, but I really liked it.  It speaks to the different things that may energize us along with the things that can...

The Storms Keep Coming

As you probably know, I (Dr. Ivey) published a book this past spring.  The process of writing a book was both easier and harder than I expected.  I like to write, as you can see if you look through the archives of our website at the monthly newsletters.  Life has...

Lessons from a Broken Arm

The Storms of Aging

Shannon Robbins, a talented wedding and portrait photographer, created the image above while she was in school.  It was an assignment to depict an elderly man looking at himself in a mirror and still seeing the young man that he once was.  She took this...

More Backwards Walking

I know, I know, we have talked about this before in our newsletter, but there are so many benefits to backwards walking that I am going to bring it up again. Summer is the easiest time to give it a try, so I (Dr. Dave) thought I'd bring it up one more time.It doesn’t...

More Maintenance

You may have noticed a large puddle in front of our office door at one of your visits.  One might call it a small lake. This is not a water feature that we are adding, though ponds are certainly very attractive and gold fish could be an interesting addition to the...

Why Posture Matters

We talk a lot about posture in our office and there is a good reason!  When everything is aligned well, it works better- more efficiently and with less wear and tear. Anyone who has ever tried to stack stones knows how important it is to get them properly lined...
