The Four R’s —  Reset, Readjust, Restart, Refocus

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

The Four R’s —  Reset, Readjust, Restart, Refocus I came across this phrase a few weeks ago during a time when I was struggling.  This year has been a time of transition and I have not always been patient with myself, my knees, people I have counted on for support and a healthcare landscape which values profit over health.  In short, I was mired and could not see a way forward.  These words: reset, readjust, restart and refocus, have helped me find a starting point at the beginning of the day and sometimes several times within a given day.  These words have allowed me to create … Continue reading

Why I Ride

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

Most of you know that I spend a lot of my time when I am not working riding my bicycle.  I ride all year including the heat of the summer and cold of the winter.  I ride on paved and dirt roads as well as trails.  Most of the time my ride begins from my front door but I have also traveled to several states to find new riding challenges Often I am asked: “Why do you ride so much?” The short answer is that I need to be active and to move.  Several years ago a softball accident severely … Continue reading

Spring in Just Around the Corner

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

It looks like spring is finally around the corner. I have had a particularly difficult time staying focused this winter on my fitness goals which is a story that many of you have relayed to me as well.   
We are all motivated by goals. Some are based on vanity, others on a desire to be healthier but most likely they are a combination of the two. Both have an energy that we can tap into to help us every day. When the power of vanity takes you to the gym or causes you to choose an apple instead of a cookie, embrace it heartily and … Continue reading

At 66 – More Questions Than Answers

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

Last week I turned 66.  I have passed the halfway point in this decade which has happened much faster than I anticipated.  This was also my first birthday since my mother died.  I am now, along with my sisters, the senior members of our family.  Both my birthday and my Mother’s passing have created more of a sense of uncertainty about my future.  As is my custom around every birthday, I create a list of things to work on during the year.  The list contains personal, relationship, business and “new frontier” goals which I hope will support and improve my … Continue reading

For or At. How Do We View Aging?

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

How many times have you used or heard the phrase: “not bad for someone my age?”  Frequently would be my guess, especially the older you become.  Recently I had a discussion with my wife Sharon about aging, exercise and our expectations for ourselves as we grow older.  During that conversation, we talked about the difference between the phrases: “for my age” and “at my age.”  When we used “for my age,” it felt like we were comparing ourselves to some set of expectations of what life should be. “At my age,” felt like a more honest assessment of where we … Continue reading

Can Brain and Spinal Health Influence Immunity?

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

Recently, we have been in the midst of an influenza outbreak that has been serious enough to close schools, overwhelm emergency rooms and disrupt many of our holiday plan. We struggle to understand the cause(s) of flu, how it is spread, if the vaccine is effective and how to avoid getting sick. Surprisingly, the increased stress from this flu outbreak and the holiday’s activities may actually lower our immunity making us more susceptible to getting sick. The health of our immune system has been increasingly linked to the function of our brain and spine – but is it possible to … Continue reading

Why I became a Doctor of Chiropractic

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

Recently I wrote a blog celebrating the beginning of my 30th year as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC), what I have done during that time and how you have helped me along the way.  Today I would like to tell you why. I believe in my health and I believe in yours as well.  I believe all of us have the innate ability to be healthy. Both statements are simple and profound and they are the essence of why I became a doctor of chiropractic.  Some of you may know that prior to becoming a DC I worked as a … Continue reading

Celebrating 30 Years in Practice!

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

This year, 2017 marks the beginning of my 30th year in practice.  During that time I have taken care of two generations of families and am awaiting the first birth of the third.  I have cared professional and elite athletes, union workers, teachers, business owners, dance performers, actors, students and everyone in between.  To date my youngest patient was one week old and my oldest 98.  The constant has been my commitment to providing the best care possible and helping all those who have come into my office understand how to improve their health on a daily basis.  I continue … Continue reading
