Gift Yourself a Healthy Lifestyle This Holiday Season

NCAA Gives Student Athletes the Support They Deserve, Sort Of
It's no secret how much I enjoy working with youth athletes. Having the chance to play a small part in their lives as they navigate through their middle school and high school paths on their way to realizing their dreams of playing in college is truly rewarding. I...
Our Position on Vaccines: It’s Not What You Think
It seems the hot topic of the month is whether or not to vaccinate. When asked this question, I’m acutely aware of the reason people ask chiropractors this question. There is the assumption that chiropractors, a profession built on holistic healing and not...
Can You Feel the IMPACKD? We Are Certain Your Student Athletes Will

As we prepare for the spring season and a lot more sunlight and outdoor activities, I wanted to take this opportunity to (re)introduce you to Dr. Jared Hatch. Many of you already know Dr. Hatch as a soft-spoken, family man who "probably" played basketball because...
Making a Commitment: Laila Booker’s Going to Yale!
This month, I'm going to take the opportunity to brag about my daughter, Laila Booker. It would be easy for a proud parent like me to boast of the many proud moments I have of my son and daughter, so I try not to. But this one is worth it. Laila, a junior at Good...
The Capitol Rehab Sequence Youth Injuries Edition

December already? Where did the year go? It has been quite a busy one, and everyone at the office is grateful for all of our clients, but I'm going to go a little off script here in terms of counting our blessings so that I can mention something not very "holidayish."...
What Does Capitol Rehab Do? How Our Rehab Sequence Works
I was recently asked "Who is Capitol Rehab's competition?" The question caught me off guard because I guess I never think of health care as a "competition sport." The question made me think about "what does Capitol Rehab do" to improve our clients' overall wellness....
How I Managed at the Marine Corps Marathon
Hard to believe, but it has already been about five years since I started working at Capitol Rehab of Arlington. That also marks around the time since I started running. I've run a lot of 5Ks since then and even a few half-marathons, but who knew in that short space...
