Our community welcomes a new chiropractor to the area! Dr. Jeff Sawyer joined Tackett Chiropractic Center in Queensbury, NY just a few months ago on January 2, 2013.

 We thought we'd pick Dr. Sawyer's brain for some advice, tips and insight from an expert. If you are suffering from chronic pain -- whether it's your back, neck, joints, muscles or other ailment -- find out what Dr. Sawyer has to say!

What kinds of ailments can a chiropractic visit help?

Chiropractic Adjustments treats the spine and nervous system. Your spine houses your spinal cord, which is the communication center between your brain and body. Over time, from poor posture, trauma and everyday wear and tear, you lose mobility causing restrictions or areas of decreased motion in the spine. This doesn't allow for proper biomechanical function, causing pressure on the nerves exiting the spine, going to every organ, muscle and tissue of your body. The pressure on the nerves causes interference, like static on a cell phone, and information is mixed up or lost. Chiropractic adjustments relieve the pressure on the nerves and allow your brain to communicate with your body clearly.


How long does an average session last?

Typically, the initial visit, which consists of a thorough history, comprehensive exam and X-rays if needed, takes about 40 minutes. Every visit from there on out takes about 15-20 minutes, case depending.


What are some common things you hear from your patients after a chiropractic session?

"I wish I had done this a long time ago."

Since not all of us are able to juggle our jobs and countless other responsibilities AND keep a sparkling home, too, there are professional cleaning companies that come to our rescue! A Plus Cleaning is a local company with professional cleaners that can make any room, home or building so clean you could eat off the floors (not that I recommend doing so).

There is a new bike shop that opened up in downtown Glens Falls in October and is ready to help the community stay healthy!

Have you ever suffered from aches and pain in spots you didn't even know existed on your body? Every day people suffer from pain caused from muscle or joint injuries and have no idea how to relieve this pain. I wanted to find out some more information for curing these types of pain, so I sat down with Physical Therapist Denise Buher from Orthopedic and Spine Physical Therapy to ask her some questions about pain relief therapy.

GlensFallsRegion.com sat down with Glens Falls Hospital Guild member Leslie Roods, to discuss the Guild, getting involved, socialites in wheelbarrows, and more!

If you were at the Saratoga Brewfest in June, or go out in  downtown Glens Falls or Saratoga, you may have heard some songs being played by the band "Groove Therapy."
