Just had a great networking conversation with Dr. Richard Nemeth, a vibrant and terrific family practitioner in Alexandria, VA. Reaching beyond the imaginary walls between chiropractic and allopathic medicine can be so incredibly rewarding. Can’t wait to meet this doctor!

Never underestimate the power of water.  Many aches and pains that people feel are often the result of dehydration.  A general rule of thumb is to take the number of pounds that you weigh and divide by two to determine the number of ounces of water to consume per day (e.g. If I weigh 160 lbs., then I should drink 80 ounces of water or TEN 8 oz. glasses.  Not really that hard to do).  Drink more water!

Hi, there!

Well, today was my first trial run of practicing on a couple of paitents while only using one arm.  You see, I had left shoulder surgery on September 25th to reattach posterior cartilage that had ripped off the back of that joint.  Ouch!  Well, the good news is that despite having to wear a sling until October 26th, I am semi-funcitonal.  I can drive, feed myself, and even dress myself without any assistance.   Adjusting a patient was the last obstacle to my return to limited work in Rockville and Alexandria.

I just shot and edited two videos yesterday and uploaded them to YouTube on “Nutrition and Surgery.”  They are short but you get the added bonus of getting to see me sporting a very fashionable sling.

Looking forward to seeing my many patients in Maryland and Virginia this week.  However, please be gentle.  I’m not yet fully-recovered.

Yours in ever-increasing health and Energy,

Dr. V.
