We are excited to announce Dr. Tiffany Kelly joined our team at Coastal Chiropractic recently. She brings excellent chiropractic skills and knowledge to the office.

So you can get to know her a little better we had her write a little about herself and how she got involved we chiropractic.

I'm a "mover and a shaker".  Yes, I've always been fascinated by movement. Growing up as a dancer and gymnast, I was constantly intrigued by human movement and function. My inquisitive mind wouldn't let me sit still. I was the tactile one who always needed to find out how things worked. I grew up as the second of four kids in a family where service came first. My parents were big believers that the best way to show gratitude for what we had was to share our generosity and our talents. At 17 years old I experienced the benefits of chiropractic care while interning for a chiropractor in MA.  I wasn't in pain, but after receiving care I began experiencing greater forms of health I didn't even know I had.  I was convinced that I would serve others by helping them unlock this unused potential through chiropractic care.  That internship lead into my freshman year of college where I found myself starting my degree as a Kinesiology Major and Neurology Minor at Gordon College in Wenham, MA. Throughout school, I wanted to take blend my academic and philanthropic passions. I created a Physical Coordination Program for post stroke victims, Parkinson’s patients and other patients with motor deficits at the Center for Balance Wellness and Mobility,and worked in the Parkinson's Rehabilitation Program. Upon graduating I immediately started my doctor of chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic, as school I had admired since I was 18.  Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida was a change from growing up in New England my entire life, but I immediately fell in love with the school and the community and am proud to call Florida my new home. While at Palmer I learned the most important philosophies behind how and why I practice. I learned the importance of letting the body heal itself and understanding the patient as a whole. I have modeled my methods of care on that philosophy. I want to help patients realize their physical health, emotional , mental and spiritual health. After holding several leadership positions and being a Teaching Assistant for a 6 courses, I found my passion in the clinic where I devoted countless hours.  Patient care, combined my academic mind and my passion for service.  I had spent two school breaks serving as chiropractor for underprivileged communities in the Dominican Republic with Chiromission.  Upon graduating from Palmer, I was awarded the Clinical Excellence Award.  After leaving Palmer, I felt called to continue serving the people of the Dominican Republic. I just completed an 8 month mission trip through Chiromission and now serve as a board member. I strive to meet patients where they are in their journey to wellness.  I consider it a true honor to work with people from all walks of life and encourage them along their road to healing.

I am so blessed and so excited to be part of this practice and this community, that's working towards a world of wellness.

Come get to know Dr. Kelly and schedule an appointment so we can go over your case with her together.

How to Win a Super Bowl

Patriots Super Bowl ring 2005
    I never played football, but it's possible to win a Super Bowl one day.
   Yesterday I had lunch with quite a few doctors of chiropractic at my continuing education class. I was fortunate enough to sit by Dr. Michael Miller from Norwood, MA. Dr. Miller was wearing a ring that looks just like the one in the picture. I could tell by looking at him that it wasn't likely that he was a player on the Patriots any time recently (no offense intended, he is in great shape). Dr. Miller must have read my mind and informed me he is the team chiropractor for the New England Patriots! Then he let me hold the ring. Cool.
   
Since this would seem like every sports chiropractor's dream job I asked a few more questions. He told me that while all NFL teams have a team chiropractor, not all teams require players to get their spines checked. He said he is much busier than some NFL chiropractors because the Patriots require certain players get adjusted. Seems like the Patriots might know what they are doing. 

    The world's top athletes often attribute their performances to help from chiropractors. Recently (before the knee injury) Derek Rose made mention on national TV how his chiropractor helped him (see video HERE.) They already know that an adjustment will increase optimal performance and function.

    If the world's top athletes see the need to get adjusted, don't you think you might have one too?
  
I do know if I'm ever going to win a Super Bowl, it is going to be by helping the athletes on the field perform like champions.

p.s. The picture below is where the convention was held at Boca Raton Resort and Club. It was amazing and I didn't even stay there! Wish I would have got a picture of the ring on my finger...

Don't Believe

I had the opportunity to return to Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida over the weekend for homecoming and to attend classes for continuing education. So far it has been a great experience. They have built a new building on campus which is magnificent. This was the best picture I could find online, but it looks better than a drawing. I was able to catch up with my old professors and classmates as well. But the best conversation I had over the weekend was with a chiropractor from New York.

His table was the only one with an empty seat at lunch so I took it. I didn't even get his name. He was an older man, but looked healthy and young at heart. I asked if he was still practicing and he said he had just retired last year after 60 years in practice. 60 years! Either he was really exaggerating or he was in his eighties. Then he gave me some unsolicited advice.

"Don't believe chiropractic works, Know it."

He went on advise me not to get caught up in trying to be a medical doctor and be what we aren't. We shouldn't want to be anything but chiropractors. We offer a better alternative than drugs and covering up symptoms. Why would we want to offer a solution that won't fix the problem when we have the ability to do so?

I've had conversations with other family and friends that say they do or do not believe in chiropractic. I can choose to not believe in gravity, but if I jump off my roof I'm not going to fly. Believe it or not, it works!

When I thought of being in practice for 60 years I thought of all the miracles this old time chiropractor in New York must have seen. We see patients walk in with headaches that walk out with out one. We see chronic shoulder pain of 20 years that leaves after a few treatments. We see low back pain melt away right after the adjustment. He knows chiropractic works. I know chiropractic works. Do you know?
