If you’ve been told that surgery is your next step… If you’re living with constant flare-ups… If you’ve “thrown your back out” more times than you can count… We need to talk. At Mosier Family Chiropractic, one of the most life-changing therapies we offer is spinal decompression — and it’s helping people avoid unnecessary spine surgery every single week. Let’s break it down simply. What Is Spinal Decompression? Think of your spine like this: Bone Disc Bone That disc in between is like a jelly ...
When the Atlas shifts—even slightly—it can irritate the brainstem and create what we call neurological facilitation. In simple terms: ➡️ The nervous system stays stuck in a high-distress signal. This can lead to: Lowered pain toleranceWidespread muscle and tissue pain (fibromyalgia)Increased stress sensitivityHeadachesSleep problemsDigestive issuesWhy digestion? Because cranial nerve #10—the vagus nerve—comes directly off the brainstem, and it innervates the entire gastrointestinal tract. Thi...
💔 When There Was No Hope When Ellen and I were dating at Hanover College, her migraines were relentless. They weren’t occasional; they were frequent, debilitating, and emotionally draining. We did what most people do. We went to a neurologist. An MRI was done. And the conclusion? “Nothing’s wrong. These migraines are in your head.” She was given anxiety medication and a powerful injectable drug for severe migraines—so strong that she had to sit on the bed, give herself the shot, and would imm...
Let’s talk to you about something that can drastically improve the results of your chiropractic care—your spinal hygiene exercises. Think of these exercises the same way you think about brushing your teeth. You don’t brush for an hour once a week. You brush a little every day to protect what you’ve already gained. Your spine works the same way. 📚 What All Anatomy Textbooks Agree On When it comes to spinal health, every anatomy textbook agrees on three non-negotiables: Full range of motion in ...
Some of you may remember Christopher Reeve, the actor who famously played Superman back in the day. He truly embodied strength and vitality. But during a horseback riding accident, he suffered a devastating injury at the very top of his neck—between the first two cervical bones. That injury didn’t damage his lungs. It didn’t injure his heart. It didn’t harm his digestive organs. Instead, it cut off the nerve supply at the top, and as a result, his entire body below the neck was affected. Brea...
⚙️ Arthritis Isn’t Random—It’s Mechanical If arthritis were simply caused by age, then every disc in your spine—being the same age—would wear down equally. But that’s not what we see. I’ll often show patients their X-rays and point out something like this: C5–C6: Disc thinning, bone spurs, degenerationC2–C3: Looks greatSame person. Same age. Same spine. So, what gives? At some point, a misalignment (subluxation) occurred at that segment, changing how it moved—and more importantly, how it didn...
👉 If you look good and feel good… are you necessarily healthy? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Many of us have friends or family members who looked great, felt fine, and were “thriving” … right up until a heart attack, stroke, or cancer diagnosis. There were no obvious warning signs—or so it seemed. And that brings us to one of the biggest problems in our healthcare system today. 🚗 Symptoms Are the “Check Engine Light” Modern healthcare is fantastic at one thing: treating symptoms. Got a sym...
🚆 Why Do Chiropractors Check Leg Length? Have you ever noticed that when you’re being adjusted—or when you’re watching someone else get adjusted—their leg length changes really fast?

Let me share a little neurology, and I promise—we’ll keep it simple and fun. 🧠 Let’s Talk About the Brain (Using a Train 🚆) When your spine is misaligned (subluxated), your body doesn’t stay quiet about ...

Last night, Ryder destroyed Isaiah’s Bible. Yes… destroyed it. Demon possessed? Maybe. 😅 But what happened next led to a powerful conversation about: • Teaching our kids about faith and sacrifice • Parenting wins… and parenting failures • Overreacting to spilled milk • The breaker box in my basement • And why we treat symptoms instead of checking the root cause All day long I was frustrated that the kitchen lights wouldn’t turn on. I compensated. I adjusted. I worked around it. But I ne...

✨ A story I’ve never fully told… until now. Nine years ago, Ellen and I sat in a parking lot with Dairy Queen ice cream and prayed over a building we weren’t even sure we could afford. We prayed that God would fill it — not with cars, but with people whose lives could be helped. Today… that prayer has been answered in ways we never imagined. In this video, I share the story behind our move, why we’re expanding Mosier Family Chiropractic, and what it means for our community.
In this livestream, Ellen and I talk about something we didn’t fully appreciate until we lived it — that the greatest gift our family received this past year wasn’t something we unwrapped, it was my health. We talk about time, consistency, and how the small habits we choose today shape the life our families experience tomorrow. Time never slows down, and six months from now we’ll either be closer to our goals… or in the same place we are now. This is a conversation about health, family, con...
