When considering our place in society, we would have to be aware that we co-exist with others. How we co-exist, particularly in a free society, is an individual choice. The healthy individual will have developed a balanced mental attitude which recognizes the welfare of themselves and others. Neither superseding the other. As I observe humankind …Read More

America The Beautiful; Part II
Thursday May 12, 2022 by Christopher Jordan

An Abe Lincoln quote I picked out of Adam Goodheart’s book, 1861: “I consider the central idea pervading this struggle is the necessity that is upon us, of proving that popular government is not an absurdity. We must settle this question now, whether in a free government the minority have the right to break up …Read More

Burnout
Thursday January 27, 2022 by Christopher Jordan

While “Burnout” is not a new concept, it is a real phenomenon. As in most conditions, it is best to avoid it rather than recover from it. Different than tedium, which can also diminish our over-all quality of life, burnout can lead to exhaustion, cynicism and despair. All of these states can have significant physiological …Read More

America The Beautiful
Monday March 29, 2021 by Christopher Jordan

Our mental health is strongly tied to our feelings about ourselves. How we define ourselves can be quite complex. Part of our identity is associated with the context in which we see ourselves.

There can be no doubt that we are currently experiencing a time for tremendous opportunities of growth.

Patients are frequently surprised when I describe the level of education necessary to be a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic. That DC at the end of our names is associated with a tremendous amount of information related to the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the human being.

“What Have You Done For Yourself Lately?”
Sunday July 19, 2020 by Christopher Jordan

I think, as adults, we all realize that we are responsible for ourselves, ultimately. Everything that we experience will have a component of our own contribution, or lack there of. In all circumstances of our lives it is imperative that we pay attention to where we can be the primary influence of our experiences or …Read More

“Come on People Now…”
Thursday June 18, 2020 by Christopher Jordan

Bridging the gaps within humanity needs to be our primary goal.  Allowing the co-existence of diverse ideologies must be our greatest concern.  The way is clear.  Look for the common threads.  Focus on where we can meet.  We must purge ourselves of hate and fill ourselves with love.  Stop the language of condemnation, use only …Read More

Wearing Face Protection
Friday May 29, 2020 by Christopher Jordan

An exert from a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine included: “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained …Read More
