Dr. P. Scott Roberts Robert’s & Collwell Chiropractic

0
DrRoberts After 30+ years at the helm of Colwell Chiropractic, Dr. John Colwell has sold his practice to his business partner Dr. Scott Roberts. The sale of the practice has been part of a gradual and intentional transition process. Dr. Roberts and Colwell have now worked together for over three years and it has been a great experience. Their complementary work style have been a perfect fit and the time has finally been right for the transition to occur. Dr. Roberts will continue to provide the great level of care Colwell Chiropratic has become known for. I headed over to Robert’s Chiropractic to speak with Dr. Roberts to learn more about this style, his background and the passion for client centered care.

Ethan Felcher Southern Oregon Alternative Medicine

0
southern_oregon_alt_medicine Currently in the state of Oregon marijuana is legal for individuals seeking to use it for medicinal purposes. In order to legally possess marijuana the individual needs to hold a state-issued Medical Marijuana card which then entitles them to certain rights and usage. In an ideal world patients would get a prescription from their local practitioner then head over to the local pharmacy and pick up their prescription. Federal law however still maintains that Marijuana usage even for medicinal purposes is considered illegal. This ruling has kept the bulk of physicians at an arms length from issuing Medical Marijuna Cards. Ethan Felcher is the director of Southern Oregon Alternative Medicine’s Ashland office, located at the corner of Lit Way and Ashland Street (Next to Printfast). The clinic is assists patients in receiving their own OMMP card.

Meet Amey Broeker, Our New Wellness Department Manager

0
Wellness_030_hi Amey started her natural foods career in the late 80’s while living in the midwest. A close brush with a health crisis pushed Amey to make natural wellness both her personal passion and her mission. Amey moved her family to the Rogue Valley 7 1/2 years ago when she became operations manager for a supplements manufacturer. In that position Amey had tremendous opportunity and a professional sense of accomplishment but she lost her joy for the industry. What was missing was the feeling of service from helping someone discover a path of wellness and the magic of watching families grow up strong and healthy.

If Your Eyes are the Windows of Your Soul, Your Face is the Reflection of Your Health

0
Have you ever wondered why some people get more wrinkles than others? Why some people seem to age faster and show early signs of aging? There are many factors that can contribute to rapid aging—how we have treated our bodies in the past and how we treat them presently. Poor food choices, over working/exercising, smoking cigarettes, stress levels, and illness can all be contributing factors that can create great disharmonies in the body.
