Dear Dr. Aaron Blog

I skipped church this morning (I know… I know). To make up for it, I decided to justify my decision by preparing a legendary Sunday evening barbecue feast for my wife. Brisket, ribs, the whole smoker setup. While rushing around the kitchen trying to find the barbecue seasoning, I discovered I apparently have no idea where anything is in my own house. In the process of aggressively searching, I knocked a jar of peppers off the shelf. It shattered, splashing pepper juice direct

My husband and I work crazy schedules, so we finally celebrated Valentine’s Day yesterday. I wore a new flowy dress and felt amazing! After a romantic dinner, we went for a walk… and apparently Mother Nature had other plans. The wind “helped” move us along so quickly I couldn’t stop and got blown straight into a block wall. We laughed… until I tried to gather myself and my flowy dress caught the wind like a sail on a ship and sent me right back into the wall. My oh-so-loving

After expertly navigating Missouri’s snow and ice like an Olympic-level winter athlete, I regret to inform you that my greatest opponent was actually my puppy… who sabotaged me with an open bottle of hair conditioner. Turns out my balance is excellent on black ice, but absolutely no match for “Salon Slip ’N Slide.” Please advise if stretching, chiropractic care, or rehoming the conditioner is the recommended treatment.

My wife surprised me with an early Christmas present. A special red light therapy mask. While I truly appreciate her thoughtful gift, I’m pretty certain she was bamboozled, it is like a hockey mask with red Christmas lights in it. She insisted I try it. So while lying in bed, I put it on as she instructed, and it was ok for a minute or so. My wife thought some holiday music would be fun- jingle bells played and the lights on my therapy mask started flashing to the music. I la

My husband thought it would be a great idea to “work out” in preparation for winter. He read a person over 40 should not really shovel snow, determined to not be a statistic, he has been shoveling sand in the garage from one pile to another. I think his real motivation is to drink a beer in between “sets” of shoveling. The sand is difficult to walk on when spread thin, and you have completed the shovel / drink process for an hour or so. He slipped on the sand, spilled his bee

We have a costume party coming up, and my husband insists his idea is hilarious. He wants to wear a hat with a duck bill and a stethoscope — he says everyone will recognize him as a “quackropractor.” Is this offensive, or just harmless fun? 🦆💀 Not a comedian, in Osage Beach #DearDrAaron #HalloweenHumor #LakeoftheOzarks # Dear Osage Comedian, That one gave me a good laugh! No offense taken — as long as the joke’s lighthearted, it’s all in good fun. The word “quack” only stin

I noticed you’re offering Red Light Therapy! My husband and I were talking about all the benefits—except he’s a die-hard DIY guy who swears he can get the same results by putting a red plastic notebook cover over his shop light. Well… after melting the cover (and a few other things in the garage), he’s now sporting a nice burn in addition to his original bad knees. 😅 Please, settle this once and for all—can you explain why Red Light Therapy from your office is not the same a

My husband has been complaining (well, let’s be honest—whining) that one leg feels longer than the other. He keeps saying, “My left leg...

I was getting ready for fall by washing and waxing my truck when I noticed a puddle of oil under the engine. After 4 hours of crawling...
