The Patient (You Are the Hero of Your Recovery)When chronic spinal tension, neurological symptoms, or unanswered health struggles keep interrupting your work, sleep, and family life, it is frustrating to be told your only option is temporary symptom management.
At Hope Upper Cervical Spine Center in Southlake, we understand how exhausting it is to search for real answers when you just want to feel like yourself again.
A New Year
Welcome to 2026.
MMGA is officially a year old.
I started this journey as my own therapy from the chaos of the world.
Through observation and reading, I was graced with the opportunity to hopefully share some gained wisdom with you, my reader.
Some of you read every single post and shared it with your friends.
Some of you unsubscribed because “make monday great again” sounds like a Donald Trump slogan which I find comical.
(to be totally transparent, I did take the idea from MAGA — now what that looks like could be different for all of us but a quick metaphysical analysis will suggest that to make monday great is a tenant of truth so get out of here with the politics).
Some of you periodically tuned in.
For all of you, no matter where you fell on the spectrum, I am truly grateful.
When I started a business, I made a promise with God.
That promise was to help sick people get well.
It was my professional vocation.
As I have learned with God, be careful what you ask for.
Little did I know what that promise would entail and maybe one day I will write a book about the numerous encounters I have had in private practice.
But part of that vision is the premise of organizing our mind and shaping how we view the world which has always been the goal of Make Monday Great Again.
So, what is the vision of 2026?
For me, it is a path that continues from where it started.
It is a discipline of growth.
It forces me to continually read and to constantly contemplate where I am going and to share those observations with you, my reader.
With that being said…
What does 2026 look like for you?
What habit are you going to continue to maintain?
What habit are you going to start?
What habit are you going to quit?
These are all deep reflections to evaluate, especially in the light of knowing that a habit can be good or bad for your development.
It can be incredibly difficult to cut the bad habits (like giving up alcohol)
It can be incredibly difficult to continue the good habits (like walking every day outside regardless of weather conditions)
No matter what, we know that who we become in mind, body, and spirit is ultimately up to the habits that we choose to continue, start, or quit.
I wish you a great start to 2026 and look forward to accompanying you as we continue to work together to make our Monday great.

Common Patient Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the message in "Do Something Great" connect to physical healing and nervous system health?
At Hope Upper Cervical Spine Center, we see every day that lasting recovery requires both structural alignment and daily personal stewardship. When your nervous system is free of upper cervical interference and your daily habits are grounded in discipline and consistency, your body has the foundation it needs to heal and thrive.
Why does consistency matter so much when restoring long-term spinal and neurological health?
Just like building mental resilience or physical strength, stabilizing ligaments and retraining chronic neurological patterns takes intentional consistency. In Upper Cervical Care, "Holding is Healing"—each week your spine holds its alignment builds cumulative momentum toward lasting relief.
How is Upper Cervical Care at Hope Southlake different from quick-fix symptom management?
Rather than chasing temporary symptom relief with medications or generalized spinal popping, Dr. Joey Kramer uses 3D imaging and paraspinal thermography to correct the root structural misalignment at the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) with zero twisting or cracking.
What is the best first step if I am ready to take ownership of my health at Hope Southlake?
