Hi Everybody, this is Dr. Norris.
The Fall season is in full swing. The time change finally came and we are counting the days until the end of the year. I would like to share with you some of the things I am most thankful for.
- My family...I have a wonderful and supportive wife who puts up with my shenanigans...and a daughter who is the light of my life. They are both beautiful and give me reason for getting up each morning. If I didn't they would surely push me out of that bed!
- My work...I have a fulfilling occupation which helps me support the above mentioned wife and daughter.
- My patients...The work I do, has allowed me to meet and help many amazingly loyal people and families. In over 30 years of practice the children I first saw are now bringing their own children to see me. Thanks to you all for trusting your health to me at Norris Chiropractic.
- My friends...From my church family, other friends in Christ, BNI group friends and other acquaintances; I have been truly blessed by those around me. Thanks for your friendship.
Pumpkin the raccoon was just one month old when she was abandoned by her mother - one year later, and she's part of a whole new family. After she fell from a tree in the Bahamas - leaving her with a broken hind leg - her mother didn't return and the local shelter was unable to take her. So nearby residents Laura and William Young took her in and nursed her back to health. Within weeks, Pumpkin had formed a bond with the couple's two rescue dogs, Toffee and Oreo. Now she thinks that she is a dog. The three have a ball together. Check her out on YouTube at - Pumpkin the raccoon.
THE STATS ARE IN
A recent research article has found people are increasingly using chiropractors for health care. Now 50% of people in the U.S. have seen a Doctor of Chiropractic for evaluation. This is up from 16% just twenty years ago. The reasons given for increased use were the lack of results with traditional medicine and not wanting to take drugs.
If you or someone you care about is suffering
with pain and they are tired of taking drugs
to hide symptoms, I'm here to help.
Let us get you back to work and play
the drug free way.
Because you don't have time for pain!
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Norris

HEALTH TIP:
When It Comes To Pain - Women Rule
Women have a higher pain threshold than men, says Jordan Metzl, M.D., a sports medicine physician at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City: “They’re more likely to push through aches, which can lead to bigger ones.” Research seems to indicate this is part of the child bearing mechanism. Let's face it in my experience if we had to rely on men suffering with 3 months of morning sickness, 7 months of back pain and a 21 hour labor we would be extinct by now.
Don’t be a hero, ladies! If you have pain, rest it and get treatment. Men if you have an “yee-ouch"... suck it up.
