A powerful quote from the Father of American Psychology to kick off the weekend. Even the smallest actions can add up to make a huge impact towards reaching your goals. What are some goals you'd like to work towards achieving this weekend?

UPDATEClinic Mask Protocol Upon receiving news from our governing Associations, medical-grade masks are no longer required within our clinics. Masks are still mandatory to enter the clinic, but they do not have to be medical grade at this time.

Working from home can be great for some, but it can also lead to neck and back pain from improper desk setups. Research has found that acupuncture and manual therapy can significantly improve pain levels in patients with chronic neck pain. Check out a snippet of the article below. http://ow.ly/BBNq50BzzhY...

Clinic Mask Protocol Change At this time we are asking patients to please only wear 3-layer medical-grade masks rather than the reusable cloth variety. Masks are available at the clinic as needed. We want to thank everyone for their patience during this transition period.
