“Chiropractic is one of the best-kept secrets in health care.”
When I hear patients say this I know what they mean. They often are a little skeptical at first, but after getting results they can see the simplicity and effectiveness of chiropractic care. I’m always delighted to see another patient appreciate what we do here. However, I am still often surprised that chiropractic is still a secret to so many people we could probably be helping.
The vast majority of people we see at the office were referred by other patients. And in terms of marketing, I don’t do much besides write this column in the newspaper, sometimes about chiropractic- and health-related topics, but mostly just about life. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago, when I was at Ledgeview, a volunteer identified me as the “newspaper columnist” and not as a chiropractor. She then also told me that she thinks some of the runs I do are crazy. I couldn’t really argue with her.
I can't believe it, but this is our fourteenth year at Giebler Chiropractic! It is a lot of fun to reminisce about those 'early' times, when it was only Ellie and myself here all day...and Kim would come in for a couple hours each afternoon. I'm proud of the people I have met and of how our office has grown to be what it is today. It's a wonderful opportunity to be able to say that I truly DO love what I do!
The only way chiropractic has continued to flourish is by satisfied patients telling others. In fact, the vast majority of 'new patients' that we see at our office are referred by existing patients. In fact, it's well over 90 percent! We focus most on taking care of the people we see at the office every day...and making sure that each person knows that they're valued, and knows that we'd love for them to tell a friend or family member or co-worker about Giebler Chiropractic. If you’ve been to our office, that’s probably how you found out about chiropractic. Now it’s your turn.
Would you tell someone you know about chiropractic?
Explain how chiropractic works. Tell them the truth about today’s chiropractic care. Answer their questions, offer them hope. Doing so will feel good – for you and for them! Not everyone needs me, specifically, to be their chiropractor. However, I am certain that all people can benefit from chiropractic care. So ask around, consider finding out more, and feel free to contact us with any questions!

Having run the Kettle Moraine 50k 4 times previously (In 2016, '17, '18, and '21), I was aware of the format of the event and familiar with what I was getting in to this year. In those first 3 years, I actually managed to win the race twice and finish second in 2017. Last year I also finished second, despite the fact it was a rough event for me, and I wasn't happy with how I ran overall.
This year was another lesson and opportunity to learn. Now, as I write that, it becomes apparent to me that all of these long distant runs I do are 'opportunities to learn.' Maybe that's why I continue to do them despite telling myself 'never again' as I'm running them.
I finished the 2022 Kettle 50k in 5:26 and in 8th overall. The weather this year was incredibly kind, considering past years at this event. It was overcast with a nice breeze and temperatures in the 70's. Most long distance runs I do start early in the morning, but this race starts at 1:00 pm and is a point-to-point run along the Ice Age Trail of the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest. It's a really pretty course, and despite the fact I have said repeatedly that I will NOT do this one again--5 times is enough!--I'm quite certain I'll be signing up again for the 2023 version.

Mile 17...still moving ok~ |
Because of those winning runs I've previously had, perhaps I'm in denial that I have aged a bit since 2016. I often joke that my kids keep getting older, but I am not. That's possible, right? ;)

It’s not news—obesity is a growing national epidemic among young people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that obesity in children has doubled in the last 30 years and quadrupled in adolescents. Nearly 20% of children 6-11 years old are obese as are almost 23% of teenagers. This places them at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Finally—and even more concerning—studies have shown that people who are obese as children tend to be obese as adults.
What’s happening here? In large part, it comes down to our lifestyle choices. Record numbers of both adults and children are succumbing to the temptations of TV, computers, and video games, and many of us simply don’t get the exercise our bodies need to stay healthy.
Naturally, parents who read statistics like these may be—and should be—concerned about their kids. More and more often, they ask themselves questions like “What can we do to help our kids be more active and physically fit?" One answer to this question is pretty simple: To get your kids to be more active, engage in more active pursuits with them. One of the keys to getting children to exercise more is to have them see their parents exercise more. That’s the finding from a new study published in the journal Pediatrics.
|

In the study, researchers at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine in England fitted 554 mother-child pairs with equipment to measure how much exercise they were getting when they were together as well as when they were apart. Accelerometers tracked their exercise levels, and GPS devices measured how close they were to each other. Over the course of seven days, the findings were clear – the more physical activity the mother was engaged in while with the child, the more active the child was during the rest of the day. In fact, for every minute of moderate-to-vigorous activity the mother got, the child was likely to get ten percent more of the same activity. Conversely, for every minute the mother was sedentary, the child was 0.18 minutes more sedentary. Both of these effects were more pronounced in girls than in boys.
These findings seem to indicate that parents can be effective role models for their children by getting more active exercise themselves. But parents don't have to drop their other priorities to do this. Incorporate small changes into your daily life. For example, rather than playing a board game together, go outside and play hopscotch. Or if you’re planning a trip to your local playground, try walking instead of driving.

Born and raised in Plymouth, Rachel is currently in her final term of chiropractic school at National University of Health Sciences in Chicago. She is thrilled to be spending the summer interning at Giebler Chiropractic before graduating in August! Rachel loves seeing patients of all walks of life, and is especially passionate about treating pregnant patients and kiddos. Rachel enjoys being outside, whether it is hiking, biking, swimming, or laughing on a patio with loved ones. When she graduates, Rachel will be moving with her fiancé to Omaha, Nebraska! |
We are happy to have Rachel Francis at our office as an Intern this summer! She graduates in August from National University of Health Sciences. Before opening Giebler Chiropractic in 2009, I worked for Rachel's parents at Francis Chiropractic in Plymouth, and before THAT I was a patient of Dan and Jean. I'm thankful for the opportunity to talk about health and chiropractic with such a bright young woman and the staff also seems to appreciate that I have a fresh face to 'geek out to' regarding some of my favorite topics! |
