Chiropractic is definitely unique. It is probably the only branch of the healing professions that treats the cause of your condition and not just the symptoms. Thomas Edison was quoted as saying. “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and the cause and prevention of disease”. This quote from such a man as Thomas Edison is very meaningful for us as chiropractors because he seemed to tap into the basic philosophy of...

First Friday Fun Fest will be celebrated at Tehachapi Treasure Trove, on Friday evening, May 1, from 5 to 8. The featured artist for May will be Kathryn (Katy) Jacobson. Katy creates what she calls Painterly Photos. She takes photographs which she then softens with filters, computer brushes and other techniques available on her computer software. The final product looks like a painting as much as a photo. Join us to greet Katy, enjoy food and wine and listen to music by Art Larson on clarinet. K...
My Mom is 93 and quite honestly, for her age, is in amazingly good health. I just recently came to the realization that by watching her I developed a false sense of being invincible, expecting to live a long life, assuming that I have some type of miraculous genes that will take me well into my 90s. Now, having had my second wake up call, I am struggling to understand that listening to my body and perhaps slowing down my sometimes hectic pace may be essential to seeing me to a ripe old age. First I suffered a TIA (also known as a mini stroke)...

Working from her home studio space in Bear Valley Springs, Kathryn Jacobson uses Photoshop CS4 technology to create stunning works of art from photos she has taken. Her present camera is a Nikon 700 and she enjoys using her zoom lens. Inspired by animals and their actions she likes to re-interpret what she saw into “a softer more painterly image”. She works from her Mac. She enjoys working in a setting of urban noise and can often be seen at Kohnen’s Bakery working the images on her compu...
I would like for a moment to step away from my role as a doctor of chiropractic and become a bartender for a day to raise some money for a favorite charity of mine. Healing Horses and Armed Forces (HHAAF). HHAAF is a local non-profit organization that works with veterans and their families to facilitate their return to normal life in a non-military world. Veterans too often return home after tours of duty in war zones and find it very difficult to adapt to civilian life and hold a civilian job....
Apparently our brains have a tendency to shrink as we get older. Brain shrinkage is often a precursor of Alzheimer’s disease, according to British researchers. More research is coming. Recently, the Bakersfield Californian newspaper ran an article from these researchers suggesting the possibility that the intake of the vitamin B complex will prevent our brains from shrinking as we age and may well prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s. Personally, I do not want my brain shrinking at all. I am pretty...
Every year around this time of year you get to choose your next years’ insurance carrier during what is called “Open Enrollment”. Why you can’t change your insurance coverage any time you want is beyond me, but that is another story. You get about four weeks to make up your mind and make a decision. Talk about stress. You have to do your research, make your decision and then live with it the rest of the year. I think that the whole scenario is to make it convenient for the insurance compani...
Halloween is upon us again; let's talk about your skeleton. What a magnificent piece of bio-engineering is the bunch of bones we call our skeleton. It holds us up against gravity, it allows us to bend and twist through an amazing range of motion and it is extremely strong. There are 206 bones in the body and about half of them are in the hands and the feet. There are "long" bones, and there are "flat" bones. Long bones are those that are mostly in your arms, legs, hands and feet. Flat bones are...
Craig and Marsha Huff had been looking for a home in Tehachapi for two years before they found their mountain retreat and were able to move from Bakersfield. Craig still commutes to Bakersfield, where he is Vice President of Merrill Lynch. Craig was born in Tehachapi. Many people may remember Dr. Troy who delivered him. He attended local schools, and it was while at Tehachapi High School that he showed a great deal of promise as a charcoal artist. Although he no longer draws, a number of his...
When chiropractors refer to chiropractic “techniques”, we are talking about the many different ways we adjust or manipulate the spine. I will attempt to describe some of the more common techniques used in our area. To begin, I will say that all chiropractic techniques try to achieve the same basic result; to relieve pressure on nerves and re-establish the body’s balance. With better balance, muscles relax and stress is minimized. We cannot eliminate all stress, but if the body is better balan...

Exercise is what a lot of us do to stay healthy and fit. Exercise is what we should all do to stay healthy and fit. There are many ways to include an exercise regimen in your life to achieve the goals that you set for yourself. Remember everyone is different, with different needs and different lifestyles. You should personally choose the type and amount of exercise you feel comfortable with and which gets you where you want to be. Some people are self motivated and just like to work out at home...
Some people don’t mind getting old, but few want to look the part these days. It’s all about aging gracefully. Know the keys to feeling and looking young and, most importantly, staying healthy as you age. Every day in this country, over 300 baby boomers turn 60 and all of them want to live a long and fulfilling life. Many people are becoming interested in anti-aging medicine. Simply put, anti-aging medicine is preventative health care based on the early detection, prevention and treatment of...
Over the many years that I have been involved in the Chiropractic profession I have noticed a large number of celebrities in the sporting field and entertainment field have utilized the services of chiropractors to keep their bodies in the best shape possible. Jerry Rice, the great wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers has been an avid chiropractic patient since he began his professional football career in San Francisco. Many of the players from that team were patients of a Chiropractic...
