Q: Does chiropractic treatment require a referral from an MD?
A: A referral is usually not needed to see a doctor of chiropractic (DC); however, your health plan may have specific referral requirements. You may want to contact your employer’s human resources department — or the insurance plan directly — to find out if there are any referral requirements. Most plans allow you to just call and schedule an appointment with a DC.

With Forest Fire season now in play thought it good to review our relationship with fire and how to get along with it. We live on a planet where carbon chemically reacts with oxygen at a high enough temperature to produce heat energy and light, a chemical process we call “fire”. The carbon is produced by plants like trees and grass. Since almost any plant material can burn, fire is a very common phenomenon, doing either harm or good depending on where and what it consumes.
A lot can change in twenty or so years. But what if you had slept during that time and woke up to changed surroundings? This is the plot for the story: “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving. Rip slept for twenty years to wake up to a changed world. Recently, I had an experience that made me feel like Rip Van Brooke.
It stands on a hill behind the high school, overlooking Wilson Park. Many have seen it from a distance, but only a few stop by. The concrete Union County Veterans Wall was originally painted black to represent the bleakness, the abyss some veterans feel when returning to civilian life. The wall was completed in 2014 and dedicated on Flag Day in 2015. However, the paint started to blister, and was replaced with gray stucco that resembled the look of granite, with black marble plaques.
