Hello everyone and we hope that you are getting ready for another scary Halloween night.

If you have not already heard there are some interesting things happening about the clinic starting at the beginning of November. First of all we will be opening on Mondays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. So all those people who have aches and pains from their weekend events can get them taken care right at the beginning of the week.

We are also adding a new massage therapist to our team. Julie Gower comes to us from Vancouver and has 5 years of massage therapy experience. So make sure you book your appointment with her today.

In this month's newsletter you can read how "The Terminator" is a big supporter of chiropractic as well as some interesting news about regular painkillers. Christena's article, with the pictures this time, is included as well as some good information about Hormone Replacement Therapy and how "dust" actually helps with asthma.

Until next month, stay healthy and if you have any questions, please let us know.
