Current Chiropractic Celebrates One Year

Dr. Annie  Apatiga and Dr. Theodore Dragoo are celebrating Current Chiropractic’s one year anniversary. They are humbled by how quickly the local community welcomed them. “There is no way we would have been able to do it without so much support from the local chambers, organizations, small businesses and residents.”

Dr. Apatiga and Dragoo love serving the community and giving hope to many that have none, and pride themselves on providing a unique and individualized approach to patient care. In order to provide this, the doctors perform one of the most thorough and comprehensive exams possible to help determine the cause of their patients issues instead of just symptom control. The doctors take the time with their patients necessary to find long term solutions and also determine any and all behaviors patients are performing that negatively affect their health.

Current Chiropractic is located at 3432 Lithia Pinecrest Rd. in Valrico. For more information, call 603-4466 or visit www.currenthealthuc.com.

Black Rock Bar + Grill Now In Brandon

Black Rock Bar + Grill opened its doors October 27, 2010 in Hartland, Michigan, a small town in a very tightly bonded community. It brought an Australian-style dining experience unlike any other.

By pairing family recipes, a 755-degree volcanic stone, and a love for food, the Morganroth family knew they were a perfect fit for the restaurant industry; however, they had no prior restaurant experience, working only off their dream of what Black Rock could become. With a very determined family and help from the community, Black Rock grew into something remarkable. To learn more about Black Rock Bar & Grill, visit www.blackrockrestaurants.com.

Black Rock Bar + Grill is located at 804 Providence Rd. in Brandon. Call 445-4111.

The most wonderful time of the year is here once again, and with holiday cheer come many lighthearted opportunities for math learning. “The holidays are the perfect time for parents to show their children the many practical applications of math outside of the typical classroom environment,” said Becky McDaniels, Owner of the Mathnasium of Brandon franchise.
