It’s Adopt-A-Turkey Month, and no, that does not mean you take the bird home to a warm oven. You wouldn’t adopt a puppy with stuffing and a baster in mind, would you? Would you? Ok, seriously…it’s November again, which means Hurricane Season 2022 is officially over.

If you have been under a rock, you may not know. Hemphill is getting a chiropractor and the masses rejoice! Dr. Wendy Walker Whittington is from the Katy area where she has had a thriving practice for twenty-five years. So, how did we get so blessed? We have her family to thank. Her parents had a house on the lake and she’s been coming here for ages. It has been a dream to open a practice here, part-time for now, and eventually, make the move here permanently. She and her husband, Wes, have been fixing up the beautiful office space, located on Oak Street, right beside Wildwood Vagabond, owned by Rachel Sanders. Dr. Walker is scheduling appointments now- on Thursdays and Fridays, with some limited availability on Saturdays. But the office will soon be open Monday through Friday because while chiropractory if The Pines main focus, overall wellness will also be the goal. To achieve this, two masseuses will also be available for appointments. Karrie Booth and Rebecca Waters are also now scheduling clients. And yes, if you must know, I have already booked. Locals may recognize Kacie Neal when they show up for an appointment. By January, she will be on-staff as an aesthetitician at the Pines.

In a nutshell, call or email to get on these ladies books. You won’t regret it. 409-787-1699 or thepineschiropractic@gmail.com
