Congratulations to Michael M. for being voted on as our Patient of the Week! Mike has been a patient of ours since 2010.  He noticed the changes our office has been making and started asking questions.  So we invited him to our Regaining Your Youth & Vitality Workshop to learn more.  He was excited to now know that there was a solution to his daily pain and illnesses and quickly jumped on the chance to correct his posture! Mike is doing a great job at making sure he is ...

Congratulations to Jamie T. for being our Patient of the Week!  We chose Jamie because she has been a patient of ours since 2010 and she saw the exciting new things we are doing with our Spinal Regenerative Program and took the initiative to ask about it. Jamie has almost completed her first phase of care and has already had amazing results! We appreciate Jamie always making her appointments and enthusiastically ringing the Total Health Bell when she is done with her rehab.  We're s...

We just wanted to remind you all that we're open Wednesday in Lansing with our regular office hours and we are open in both offices on Friday too!  In Lansing our office is open from 9am - 12pm, Westphalia from 10am - 11am.  It is so very important to get your adjustments in before a long weekend, that's why we're opening back up on Friday!  If you're in a Spinal Regeneration Program, make sure you are here 3 times this week!  We don't want you falling behind in your program...

What are we thankful for?  We are thankful for getting to work with our amazing patients!  There are times though when we need to take some time off.  This coming week is one of them! Remember that if you are in a Corrective Program you still need to come in 3 times so please adjust your schedule as necessary.  We are even open on Friday to accommodate! Our Lansing Office Hours for Thanksgiving Week will be as follows: Monday - Wednesday: 7:30am - 11:30am & 3:00pm - 6:...

I know, I know, I'm making a big deal about our Fall Harvest Party that's going on Wednesday - Friday this week.  That's only because it is going to be so much fun!  As you already know, there are games for everyone, crafts for the kids, delicious foods, and fall recipes for you to take home.  Well, I've saved the best for last... On Friday, our very own German boy, Dr. Ryan, will be sporting his authentic Lederhosen!  Nothing celebrates fall like Oktoberfest gear.  Co...

Now that you know we are hosting a Fall Harvest Party next week on Wednesday - Friday instead of our annual Halloween Party AND you already know that we are going to have games for all ages to enjoy, you may be wondering "What else have they come up with for this party?"  Well, of course we have more going on!  We have different crafts each day for the kids.  Each and every day of the Fall Harvest Party they will get their picture taken in our "Fall Scene" and then create a ...

  Please congratulate, Bruce M. as our Patient of the Week!  We voted for Bruce because he consistently makes all of this appointments, he is dedicated to doing his rehab and home rehab, and he thoroughly enjoys ringing our Total Health Bell! Congratulations, Bruce, on taking huge strides to reaching your Total Health!

As you can see from our event calendar we have a busy October planned!  This year we decided to take a break from our annual Halloween Bash and have a Fall Harvest Party for 3 days instead!  (For those of you that have been to our Halloween parties in the past, just wait until you see our Halloween party next year!)  Our Fall Harvest Party will take place Wednesday, October 26th - Friday, October 28th during regular office hours.  What does our Fall Harvest Party consist of,...

We usually have a lot of community events that we participate in, most of which are in Lansing.  This one is unique and different...just like our offices!  Please join us in Westphalia for a community wide Oktoberfest celebration on Saturday, October 8th! There will be games for children, entertainment for adults, and competitions for all.  One in particular that is unique and we happen to be sponsoring is the Round Bail Roll competition.  The winning team will receive ...

All day Saturday we set up for the inaugaral Total Health Fitness Challenge.   Then we were at the course at 5am Sunday morning to finish up.   You'd think we'd be dragging.   I can't speak for everyone else, but I don't think I could've had MORE energy!   From putting up the cargo nets for the Army Crawl and the Bear Crawl (in the pitch black of early morning)....   To taking the volunteers to their assigned obstacles and giving th...

Over the last few months, I've sent out numerous emails and posts sharing the amazing and unique aspects of the Total Health Fitness Challenge. All the proceeds go to Case Cares which is a non-profit organization that provides safe playgrounds and ball fields to disabled children. ===> Click here to watch the video (and have a tissue handy) It is not your ordinary 5K...it tests all areas of your fitness...strength, stamina, balance, core strength, flexibility. It's so unique that Cha...

How awesome is the Total Health Fitness Challenge?   So awesome that WILX (Channel 10), Playmakers, AND the Lansing State Journal are Gold Sponsors for the big race!   And they don't put their name on every event that comes across their desks.   So there must be something special about our race.   Maybe it's because it's unique to Lansing.   Maybe it's because the obstacles are challenging AND fun!   Maybe it's because they see we're doing so...

With any big event, there is a need for volunteers.   These are the people who make the event a success!   Without them, things get confusing and disorganized for the participants.   If the event is a race, the volunteers are even more crucial.   They have to hand out water.   They have to tell people where to go.   They have to man the registration table.   They may even help set up the course.   And with the Total Health Fitnes...

We are heading back to Atlanta!   Our next Chiropractic bootcamp is July 8 - 10.   So what does that mean....   Our Lansing office will close Thursday July 7 at 5:00pm in order for us to make our flight.   Both Lansing and Westphalia offices will be closed on Friday July 8 and Saturday July 9.   So what does that mean....   Since the 4th of July is on Monday (and we will be closed) and we will be closed that Friday, we will be open Tuesday, ...

Last time I wrote to the Hard Core warriors.   This one is geared towards those who are a little apprehensive.   Maybe you think it will be too hard.   Maybe you're scared about trying something new and different.   Maybe you're used to regular ol' 5K's.   Maybe you've never even done any races in the past.   Let me put your mind at ease.   Anyone can Challenge themselves!   You don't have to win to Challenge yourself.  ...

If you like unique events.... You may be a Total Health Fitness Challenger.   If you enjoy getting a little dirty (and wet)...   You may be a Total Health Fitness Challenger.   If you want something more than just a run-of the-mill 5K...   You may be a Total Health Fitness Challenger.   If you like climbing, running, crawling, carrying, more running, leaping, more climbing, more running, and more crawling...   You may be a Total Health Fitness Ch...

  We have a great offer for you!   If you go to the site below, you can get the coupon code and get $5 off your registration for the Total Health Fitness Challenge!   When I was doing some research for our challenge, I found similar challenges across the country.   And all of them were charging in the $60-$80 range.   (And, obviously, they were not nearly as awesome as ours is.)   We didn't want price to be an excuse.   So th...

I hope you had a GREAT Memorial Day Weekend! It's finally time for summer and I'm excited for that.   I don't like to think about the end of summer when it's just starting but I just can't help it...because that's when the Total Health Fitness Challenge is!   Time is flying.   I think back to our first meetings and determining exactly what we were going to do and feeling like we had all the time in the world.  But it's getting down to race time now! ...

I've always wanted to organize a race in Lansing. But I wanted it to be very unique.   I like to workout...but I'm not a big fan of running.   Because of that, I only run in one race every year.   It's called the Men's Health Urbanathlon and it's in Chicago every October.   I was attracted to it because it wasn't just a run.   It had obstacles.   Cars to climb over...   Monkey bars....   Bear crawl under cargo nets... ...

  At Total Health, we've been looking for a charity to get behind for some time.   It had to have certain characteristics however.   One, it had to be a non-lifestyle related disease.   Two, we wanted it to center around families and/or children.   I'm a firm believer that what you think about with feeling will materialize at some point.   And that's just what happened!   In the first meeting for our ramped up Total Health Fitness Challenge...

  The Total Health Fitness Challenge is back!   But we have some changes.   It is NOT a 12 week exercise challenge in which you earn points.   That's what we did the last time.   But I wanted to make it more exciting...and challenging!   So Total Health Chiropractic and DeWitt Township have teamed up to create the all new Total Health Fitness Challenge!   It is a very unique race that tests all areas of your fitness.   I coul...

It's that time of year to have a special day all in the name of our patients!   So this year for our Patient Appreciation Day we want you to roll the dice at our Casino Day!   Join us for FREE family fun games, delicious snacks and beverages!   And of course you could win the JACKPOT!   It's all happening at our Lansing office on Wednesday April 13 during our normal business hours.   Can't wait to see you here!   Doc  

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about...   You have a great time doing something or being somewhere; maybe it's a great vacation or just a great day.   You don't want it to end. You think about the great time that it was.   That's the way we feel about our Children's Health and Wellness Expo on Saturday.   It was all kind of a blur from the time we were setting up...opening the doors for all the families that were waiting to get in...all the ...

The 4th Annual Children's Health and Wellness Expo is about to start! Only 2 hours away and we're busy setting up...but I wanted to send you one last email as a reminder.   Because we can't make this a successful day without your participation.   And if you come early enough, you may get some free goodies...   The first 200 people to come through the doors will get a FREE goody bag!   Plus you may be the first to meet Channel 10's An...

Only two days away from our Children's Health and Wellness Expo!   I sent you an email a couple days ago letting you know Channel 10 Meteorologist Andy Provenzano will be stopping by for a meet and greet from 10am until about 11am.   In addition to that and all the great exhibitors, we are having some fun and informative demonstrations on the main stage throughout the day.   Here is the All-Star Lineup:   10:20-10:50am Dr. Alexa Vitek from Vite...

This has been a great week leading up to our 4th Children's Health and Wellness Expo! More potential vendors wanting to be part of the fun.   Patients telling us they are hearing more and more about the expo.   The Lansing State Journal contacting us about the event.   Putting the final touches on the preparations.   To top it all off, we just got word that a local personality, someone that you hear and see practically everyday (on TV), is stopping by for...

  Only a few short days until our 4th Children's Health and Wellness Expo!   The commercials just started on Channel 10...   And we've already gotten 3 more calls from potential vendors who want to be part of the event!   Not to sound arrogant, but why wouldn't they?   This event is BIG.   By BIG, I mean that we want to do something bigger.   For you.   For your family.   For your kids.   And for our community. ...

  I never thought it would happen to me.   I don't remember it happening before.   (Side note: I hear those statements from my patients a lot concerning some new symptom that they just got...but that's not what I'm talking about this time.)   I'm talking about getting snowed out yesterday!   That was the first time I had to close our office because I (and you) couldn't get there.   I gave it my best....managed to get 50 yards down my unp...

  "Amazing"   "Fun"   "Loved it"    That's how one of our participants and attendees felt about our Children's Health and Wellness Expo last year.   If last year was that great, what do you think this year is going to be like?   It's a safe bet that it will be even better!   We learn from you and what you want.   Many of you asked for an optometrist.  Check!   More giveaways.  Check!   Exercise and Nutrition in...

  We got some exciting news last week for our 4th Children's Health and Wellness Expo at the Lansing Center... WILX Channel 10 is going to co-sponsor the event with us! This is just another sign of how amazing this event is becoming. Channel 10 doesn't just sponsor any and every event. They see the value in the goal we are working to accomplish... To help our patients AND community get healthy! And it starts with the kids. If we don't teach our kids about health and how to be health...

What are the main problems with the current health care model in America? What are the roadblocks to health and wellness that we face as Americans?   Why do we stop doing healthy things...even they make us feel good when we do them?   What common diseases are NOT helped with drugs, but are better treated nutritionally?   As promised, to promote the Wycoff Wellness Center's Open House event on Saturday January 22 from 9am to 4pm, here is the audio interview ...

'Tis the season for New Year's Resolutions! And what more common one is there than to get healthy and fit.   To start you off on the right path, Wycoff Wellness Center is hosting their annual Ring in a Healthy New Year Open House!   We are one of the sponsors of this year's open house and we couldn't be happier to be part of a great event!   There are going to be so many new and unique health care services that will amaze you.   Among them are: - Free BioImp...

 I wanted to post a video showing our "Music through the Decades" Halloween so you get a better feel for how awesome it was. However, that's going to take a little more time and I didn't want you to wait anymore to get a glimpse of what and how we did it. So here are a few pictures to tide you over. In case you forgot (but how could you), we all dressed up as various musicians and artists. Here's the rundown: Vanilla Ice (Dr. Ryan) Jennifer Lopez (Dr. Monica) Elton John (Dr. Tom) Ja...

I hope you had a great weekend!   I wanted to let you know that our Lansing office will be closed  this Thursday, November 11 but only in the MORNING.    We will be open our normal afternoon hours from 3 to 6:30.   We are shooting our brand new commercial so the camera crew has to take over the office for a few hours.   It's the start of our new media campaign to help us reach as many people as possible in the Lansing area and help them Get Healthy! ...

....Music through the Decades! If we were fortunate enough to have you come by yesterday, you saw a lot of music stars such as:   Vanilla Ice (Dr. Ryan) Jennifer Lopez (Dr. Monica) Elton John (Dr. Tom) Janis Joplin (Dr. Sarah) Madonna (Amy) Britney Spears (Cara) Dolly Parton (Lori) Cher (Erica) Janet Jackson (Shaynea) Mariah Carey (Cicily) Pat Benetar (Tina)   Plus we had a night club in our reception, an awards area at the front desk, and each room was decor...

After months of preparation and hard work to show you an awesome time, Total Health After Dark is open! Come in to our Lansing office today (Wednesday October 27) so you can see how we've transformed this year.

Tell your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and everyone you see on the street or in the store to come to Total Health Chiropractic on Wednesday for the first (and best) Hall...

Last week was Boss' Day so on Friday our awesome team took us out to Deluca's for lunch. One of our team members couldn't make it so she even brought in a special afternoon treat for everyone! If you come in or even call our office, you probably already know that we have the best team at Total Health Chiropractic! They are caring, friendly, passionate, trustworthy, reliable, responsible, and just overall really great people. I just wanted to say Thank You so much to Amy, Cara, Dr. Tom, ...

Our Father's Day Celebration has officially started!   Come on in for some breakfast this morning and Jimmy John's this afternoon!   Plus, while you're here, you can help us determine the ugliest tie in our Ugliest Tie Contest.   And there are some ugly ties on our bulletin board!   Whoever wins gets a $100 gift card to Home Depot!   Hope to see you TODAY!   Doc  

I hope that one day my girls will love me enough to get me an ugly tie for Father's Day.   When you think of Father's Day, I bet one of the things you think of is an ugly tie.   It's just the quintessential, stereotypical Father's Day gift.    So in honor of that, we are having an Ugly Tie Contest in our Lansing office!   Here's how you can enter your ugly tie...   Bring in your (or your husband's, brother's, grandpa's, etc) ungliest tie to Total...

We had our 3rd Annual Children's Health & Wellness Expo a little over a week ago. And I must say it was even better than we expected! Last year, about 300 people came through the door. This year, there were well over 700 people coming to see what all the talk was about! And here's what had them talking: - Free goody bag for the first 200 - Pictures with Big Lug - Miniature horses to pet - Potter Park Zoo animals - Free Health Screenings - Making slime with Impression 5 - Fingerpri...

What a great Halloween! The one comment we heard the most at our Halloween Blowout Extravaganza yesterday was,  "You guys sure go all out!"   And I have to agree.   Almost 200 people came by to see what we did this year!   And what we did was.............."Grease"   Each room was decorated as a different scene from the movie like the Pep Rally, the Sleepover with the Pink Ladies, the Frosty Palace, the Drive In (with a 1/4 of a car in the room!), t...

Our Halloween Blowout Extravaganza is fast approaching. We are getting everything ready for the big event on Wednesday. Our office is stuffed with all of the decorations, banners, signs, props, and on and on. I wanted to give you a few more hints, though, to see if you can figure it out. 1. There will be a mini Carnival with popcorn 2.  One of our rooms will have a bonfire (may or may not be lit) 3.  Maybe you could catch a movie while you are here 4.  Or you could tak...

It was a pretty busy weekend for me and my family.   We went to Chicago where I ran in the Men's Health Urbanathlon.   It was an 11.5 mile run that me and two friends split up into a relay.  Overall there were over 5,000 racers!   The unique part of this particular race was that there were obstacles like a tire run, monkey bars, high hurdles.   For my leg of the relay, I ran 2 miles, then went into Soldier Field where we had to run up and down the stairs four tim...

Last week I told you I'd show you a video of our huge Halloween blowout extravaganza last year. We had patients who came in the morning, went to work, and brought their co-workers in to see it. We had patients who called TV stations to tell them to get their butts (and cameras) to Total Health Chiropractic. We had patients who went to their other appointments, saw what they did for Halloween, and our patients said, "You need to go to Total Health....THEY went all out!" The video below w...

 Halloween has been a big deal at Total Health Chiropractic the last two years. We know part of health is having some fun...making our patients and community smile. So in 2007 we did this:           And last year:    ...
