There are really only two reasons people present to us seeking help. Fear and Love Those are the only 2 motivators that exist and each one plays a role. When we first bought our practice in 1993, I was out to dinner with my in-laws and their dear friends the Millers. I remember Joe asking [...]
Let’s talk dirty. Hey get your mind out of the gutter. Last Friday, the Francis Chiro Crew was fortunate enough to take a tour of the Standard Process Farm in Palmyra, WI. We spent most of the day talking about their dirt. As Michael Pollan, the author of In Defense of Food, wrote. “It is [...]
If there is one thing we can all agree on, it is that we should be all in for our children’s health. Just like my great niece was “all in” while leaping off the pier, we need to be “all in” when forming the dietary habits of our children. The fact is that they are [...]

My current prediction for COVID in the future is that there is always going to be a CFC season. Cold, flu, and COVID. My anticipation is that it is here to stay, forever mutating. That is the bad news. The good news is that the more it mutates, each variant should become less aggressive. It may transmit [...]
As I mentioned a few months ago, we have been going through a changing of the guards at Francis Chiropractic.
