“Back and neck problems usually begin with an acute episode which heals quickly.  However, much recent evidence indicates that these problems tend to reoccur, with gradually increasing pain and disability.

Many studies have found that the best predictor of a new episode of back pain is a previous one.

It is now understood that back and neck pain are similar to asthma.  They are both chronic, intermittent problems that occur periodically over the course of a lifetime, rather than an acute disease that can be cured.  Like asthma, back and neck problems must be managed and kept under control.

Two thirds of people who have had back pain in the past are likely to have symptoms every year.  There are more than 100 million back pain sufferers a year in the United States.

There are basically three stages the body goes through in order to heal from an injury.

The first stage is the inflammatory stage. This is typically the first three to four days after you hurt yourself or a chronic injury flares up.  The most important thing to remember about this stage is DO NOT USE HEAT as a method of feeling better.  It will make your condition worse!  ONLY USE ICE  for the first three to four days.  And….only apply the ice for a duration of 20-25 minutes every 2 waking hours.  That’s right.  Do not put any ice on an area when you are in bed, laying down, or anywhere where there is a possibility of you falling asleep.  Bad, bad, very bad idea.  Heat and prolonged use of ice will cause EXCESSIVE SWELLING in the area that you are … Read More »

I have heard many people in the last few days say that they were sick or that their children were sick.  When I inquired as to what was occurring, I heard descriptions of sore throats, coughing, fatigue, fever and lack of appetite.  It is interesting to me how our society views these types of symptoms as sickness. Unquestionably, symptoms like the ones I listed above are often uncomfortable to go through for a child or adult.  The question is, however, despite the fact that one does not feel well, are they sick?  The answer is no!  I invite you to consider the following.

All of the above symptoms are signs of a body that is properly adapting to its environment.  Scientists clocked how fast microorganisms come out of our mouths when we cough – 120 … Read More »

Most people think that Estate Planning is planning only for death. That means, selecting a Guardian to take care of your minor children, and making sure that your Beneficiaries receive your assets when you die.

Estate Planning is more than planning for death.  A good Estate Plan will protect you at incapacity.  You -not the courts- keep control of your assets and decisions about your medical care when you are still alive but no longer able to handle your affairs.  This is why you must include a  Durable Power of Attorney and an Advanced Healthcare Directive in your Estate Plan.
