Why I love Computers I love computers... especially laptops. They are good for my business. In the photo above, the person WILL develop neck and shoulder strain, headaches, rotator cuff injury, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), wrist strain, carple tunnel syndrome, probably TMJ (Temporal mandibular joint) disorder, fatigue in the legs and possibly sciatica, pain under the knee caps, digestive disorders, emotional fatigue, and degenerative athritis in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. If this person is working at a computer occupationally, they will probably be passed over for promotions. If you wish to learn how to work at a computer without it doing a job on you, send me an email or see me in the office. Best regards, Dr. Wayne Coghlan.

More specifically, let me introduce you to STRAW BALE GARDENING.   Who should plant a Straw Bale Garden?   Can't do heavy lifting?   If you are less capable or less interested in doing the heavy work of traditional gardening, such as tilling the soil, constant weeding, unending insect battles and persistent disease spraying, Straw Bale Gardening virtually eliminates these challenges. Can't bend over?   If you have a physical limitation or handicap that restricts you from getting down on the ground, you will appreciate the easier access to the higher surface of a straw bale, which eliminates the bending to plant and harvest.  Poor soil or limited space?   If your have a low soil quality, or if you have limited space that you can devote to a garden, you will love Straw Bale Gardening with its low cost, flexibility in garden pla

Fibromyalgia and Repressed Anger

Fibromyalgia, Repressed Anger, Chiropractic Therapy   It has been my experience that the majority of patients I encounter with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia have chronic unresolved emotional issues. Usually, it is some form of unresolved anger or grief, and usually some form of persistent anxiety or apprehension.   Now that is a bold and sweeping statement, and I appreciate that a disease as complex as fibromyalgia will have many different components to it. This is definitely not a one-size-fits-all statement. Yet the pattern persists. And I’ve had some people become quite annoyed because I asked if they considered if unresolved issues were somehow a factor in their illness.   I expect their unwillingness to explore the question was defensive of the implication that their fibromyalgia was somehow “in their heads.” To which I sympathize.
