Kinum Chiropractic, P.C.

Final paving on Glen Avenue today! Parking on our side street is best today to avoid walking on fresh blacktop.

Good Morning! It’s the day after Memorial Day! How did your body handle it? Most people have no realization that one of their legs are functionally shorter than the other. Gravity is relentless and Balance is Always Better! By the way, this patient had no idea that their left leg was shorter. Their legs did balance after their chiropractic adjustment. They actually felt weird with the restored balance. That’s a good indicator that their legs haven’t been equal length for qu...ite a while. The office is open but we are adapting to the challenge of Co-Vid and keeping everyone as safe as possible. Please call first for an appointment. The number is 518-382-0055. Be well!

Some interesting history relating to Chiropractic care offering significant hope to a similar Flu Pandemic. During this healthcare crisis, our office remains open and here is why... Many people may not be aware that there was a Flu Pandemic in 1917-1918. Estimates go as high as 500,000 Americans died during that Pandemic. People were as fearful then, as many people are right now. Granted, our options are much more advanced now, vs 1917-1918, but even to this day, certain th...reats to our health remain beyond our capacity to readily answer. According to historical reports provided by Dr. Dan Murphy and others, there were reports from cities all over the country that were reflecting dramatic results from chiropractic care. This gave many, a cause for hope in the crisis. For example, in Davenport, Iowa, 50 medical doctors cared for 4,953 patients with the Flu resulting in 274 deaths- a loss of 1 out of every 15 patients. In the same state, excluding Davenport, 4,735 patients were cared for by chiropractors with a loss of 6 patients- a loss of 1 out of every 789 patients. During the same epidemic, reports show that chiropractors in Oklahoma cared for 3,490 patients with influenza with 7 deaths. In addition to these amazing results, there is a clear record showing that chiropractors were called to care for 233 patients where medical doctors had given them up for lost. Of those 233 patients who were considered too far gone, 25 lost their lives but 208 survived. On a national level, figures showed that 1,142 chiropractors cared for 46,394 patients for influenza during 1918 with a loss of 54 patients- 1 out of every 886. We are following the recommended protocols for keeping my office as sanitary as possible. This includes: cleaning the table and surrounding area with Clorox wipes before every patient. We have moved the face paper a safe distance form the table. We wash our hands or use sanitizer between every patient. What to do if you have symptoms: We do require that if you find you may have been exposed or have symptoms, please call us be fore you come to the office. Our office is not equipped to serve people with this disease. We are specifically equipped to do our part in attaining your optimal health. That’s always been important but recent changes have amplified the value of reaching your optimal health! Please call us if you have any questions! 518-382-0055. Be well. Dr. Edward Kinum and staff.
