Christmas Salad Recipe

Instructions
How to roast Brussels Sprouts:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.  Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Trim ends of Brussels sprouts  and remove yellow leaves.
  3. Then, slice all Brussels sprouts in half.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine halved Brussels sprouts, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt (to taste), and toss to combine.
  5. Place onto a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side down, and roast in the oven at 400 F for about 20-25 minutes. During the last 5-10 minutes of roasting, turn them over for even browning, the cut sides should be nicely and partially charred but not blackened (see my photos).
How to roast Butternut Squash:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cubed butternut squash (peeled and seeded),1 tablespoon of olive oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon, and toss to mix.
  3. Place butternut squash in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once half-way through baking, until softened.
  4. Note: You can roast both Brussels sprouts and butternut squash on 2 separate baking sheets at the same time, on the same rack in the oven – that’s what I did.
How to toast pecans:
  1. Toast pecans in the preheated oven at 350 F
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Toast the pecans for about 5 minutes (maybe a bit longer) in the preheated oven at 350 F until they get darker in color.
  4. Note: pecans burn really fast, so make sure to check the nuts after 5 minutes and frequently afterwords.
Assembly:
  1. In a large bowl, combine roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted butternut squash, pecans, and cranberries, and mix to combine.

Reasons To Consider Dry Needling

Reasons To Consider Dry Needling

Dry Needling also known as Myofascial Trigger Point Dry Needling, uses the same small needles used in acupuncture. These needles are inserted into the muscle to directly affect trigger points. Trigger points are tight knots of muscle that can refer pain throughout the body. A lot of patients have had this technique suggested to them either by friends who have had it done or by their physical therapists or MD’s. We put together a few reasons on why you should consider this option and what it can do for you.

Relaxing Tight Muscles

Dry needling can help to reset your knotted up muscle back to its resting length. Relaxing knotted up muscle tissue is very similar to getting a massage.

Improving Blood Flow

When your muscles are “tight” or “knotted”, they can decrease blood flow. Thereby, releasing the tension in your muscles will help to increase your blood flow leading to an overall healthier you also.

 

Decreasing Pain and Releasing Neurotransmitters

This technique releases differnet opiate peptides. These neurotransmitters prevent pain signals to the brain and spinal cord which decreases your pain.

Treating Chronic Pain

No one should have to live with chronic pain. Dry needling can treat acute or chronic pain. It can help with a range of different things such as: Plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica and more.

Weight Loss Success Testimonial

Weight Loss Success In The Villages, Florida

Legacy Clinic and Dr. Chris are proud to offer this incredible weight loss program that has helped so many people lose tons of weight safely, effectively and for good. We are happy to share some of the success stories that we’ve had.

Weight Loss The Villages

What makes this an effective weight loss program? This program allows patients to lose weight and keep it off without harmful chemicals that could cause other problems. It does not require a gym membership where you need to spend several hours a day nor do you need to invest in equipment for your home. It doesn’t require expensive meal plans and there are no public weigh-ins. While the plan itself is pretty straight forward, Dr. Chris makes himself available to answer any questions you may have.

This plan succeeds where others fail because it is not meant to last only while you’re on it. This plan is meant to train your body to keep using unwanted fat as fuel which helps to keep the weight off in the future. By lowering the intake of carbohydrates, your body will begin to use up the fat that it has “stored” for later use. In the meantime, almost all vegetables are unlimited and you can still eat lean proteins so you never have to feel like you’re starving.

You should never rely on just one article to make your choice though. We have many testimonials from patients who have had outstanding success on this plan. One of our own employees even tried and lost an amazing 90 pounds. There is no better time than now to start living a healthier life. Dr Chris also offers a free consultation to further answer any questions about the plan that you might have. Call or email us today to start shedding those unwated pounds!

Medicare Chiropractic Policy

                                         MEDICARE CHIROPRACTIC POLICY
• If you are injured, have an exam related to that injury and are under a treatment plan for that
specific injury, Medicare will cover a portion of your adjustment. After that treatment plan, it is
not covered.
• If you are being treated for chronic pain, Medicare will not cover it.
• If you are being treated on a periodic basis, i.e. twice a month, once a month, every 3 weeks…,
this is considered maintenance and Medicare will not cover it.
• Medicare never covers exams, x-rays, therapy or massage.
• Secondary does not cover anything Medicare doesn’t cover. They will cover the other portion of
the medically necessary adjustment.
• You are charged for services in our office at the Medicare specified rate (this is government
mandated)
• You will be told on every visit whether we believe Medicare will consider your services as
medically necessary.

Chiropractic Coverage
Medicare only provides coverage for the chiropractic adjustment of the spine. Your coverage
usually includes a number of visits based on medical necessity.

Exams, X-rays, Massage therapy, orthotics and physical therapy coverage:
Medicare never covers these. Instead, you are responsible for payment of these services at a
reduced Medicare rate.

What if I have secondary insurance?
This entirely depends on your secondary plan. Most secondary insurance will still only consider
the chiropractic adjustment. They simply reimburse the portion of the adjustment that Medicare
does not. All other services are still not covered. A select few (very few) secondary plans will
cover those services that Medicare does not even consider.
We do not file with your secondary insurance, Medicare does. We file with Medicare. After
Medicare completes the processing of your claims, they will send the explanation to your secondary
insurance for consideration. Some secondary insurances pay us directly as we are providers with
them. When this occurs, a credit will be applied to your account.

Maintenance Therapy:
“Maintenance therapy includes services that seek to prevent disease, promote health and prolong
and enhance the quality of life, or maintain or prevent deterioration of a chronic condition. When
further clinical improvement cannot reasonably be expected from continuous ongoing care, and the
chiropractic treatment becomes supportive rather than corrective in nature, the treatment is then
considered maintenance therapy. Under the Medicare program, Chiropractic maintenance therapy is
not considered to be medically reasonable or necessary, and is therefore not payable”

“Maintenance/Palliative Care is not a covered benefit for any of our covered managed care plans.”
