For all their risks, opioids had no pain-relieving advantage in a yearlong clinical trial — Los Angeles Times

https://apple.news/A9rvM9RC7QTCN-Og4JAWqVA

LA Times just reported on a randomized control trial that found no difference in opioids (hydrocodone, etc) compared to over the counter medication with regards to pain related function over the span of 12 months.

Yet some report opioids claim 115 American lives on average every day.

I’ll bet there are some pretty wealthy people that weren’t very happy when this study was published...

apple.news For years, doctors turned to opioid painkillers as a first-line treatment for chronic back pain and aches in the joints.

In defining any movement dysfunction, you must define the problem in light of its interaction with the rest of the body.

Knee pain (particularly on the inside aspect), hip pain, and back pain are very often a result of the lack of engagement of foot/ankle stabilizers.

This is a picture of a patient who’s problem was solved not by orthotics, but by training and manual treatment. YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, how you use your body may be the problem.

My hope for this year is not dependent upon success. My goal is to stay out of the gray twilight. Here’s to each of us resisting the temptation to choose the easy route, the clear cut path, the instant gratification. Not for the sake of saying that we did, but for the sake of our future self. 2018 - the year of grit, audacity, focus, and intention. Cheers!

Do not wait until you are in pain to protect your body. You may or may not be aware of the repetitive stresses you encounter every day. Be well, be efficient. If you don't know what that means, ask!
