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

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.

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

Seasons Are Changing

Madosky Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center Posted on by

The Seasons Are Changing Today we had near freezing temperatures. Leaves are turning color, gardens are becoming barren and most of us are beginning to crave the warmth of blankets at night, soup, baked potatoes and breads which bring warmth into our bodies.  Yes, the season is changing and so are we. We can take a lesson from the earth as it begins its winter long sleep in preparation for next spring.  The autumn/winter season is a time to  sleep more, eat heartier foods and regenerate mind/body/soul.  Of course these seasonal changes do not give us license to forget what … Continue reading
