“Health comes from the inside out,” said Dr. Jessica Dean, DC, owner of Dean Family Chiropractic in Clermont.  “Chiropractic care is so much more than just muscular and skeletal; regular adjustments can ease many things from ear infections, the common cold, or ease a variety of chronic illnesses.”

October is National Chiropractic Health Month, and Dr. Dean feels fortunate to be able to be practicing in the field.

It took West Central the better part of three quarters to crack the Central Elkader defense in a 60-14 road loss Friday, Oct. 14.

Senior quarterback Brady Forsyth got the Blue Devils on the board with a two-yard scramble with 1:46 remaining in the third quarter. Jake Kuhens made the extra point, but he had missed a 33-yard field goal opportunity in the second quarter that could have gotten the Blue Devils on the board.
