Chiropractic Keeps You Moving
Roberts And Colwell Chiropractic 0 Aging isn’t always easy as your risk of certain medical conditions increases and, often, your mobility decreases—both of which can lower your quality of life. Unfortunately, when you have a spinal condition, the effects can often be worse. However, research recently released in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics suggests that engaging in regular chiropractic care may offer some…
Protecting Your Assets from Creditors
Robert Good Attorney LLC 0 The American legal system is a useful vehicle for righting people’s wrongs: If your dog bites me and I am seriously injured, I can sue you for medical bills, pain and suffering, etc. That is fair and just. But, our legal system is also overused and abused. Frivolous lawsuits are filed frequently, and sometimes they succeed. You don’t want…

Kids and Hypnosis
Kelly McLoughlin 0 Does hypnosis work on kids? You bet it does! In fact most kids have far quicker results than adults do.

Missing Winter and the LNG Pipeline

Timing is Everything
Casey Roland 0 With the shortest day of the year behind us, I can already feel the days getting longer.

We all seek balance…

Used Car Buying Tips from Zach at Ashland Automotive Inc.
Zach Edwards 0 People often ask me what type of “used” car I recommend they buy, and I usually respond with a different question. “What is it you’re looking for?” Surprisingly, many of us aren’t completely sure what we’re looking for when shopping for a new or used vehicle. Do we need a station wagon, a truck, a 2WD, 4WD, or AWD? What…
